University of Kentucky NOYCE Fellows Program: New Opportunities Yielding Classroom Excellence

英国-新机会卓越课堂(UK-Noyce)数学和科学研究员计划正在招募科学、数学、工程和技术(STEM)专业的高级学生和STEM专业人员，通过教育学院、工程学院和肯塔基大学文理学院的合作努力，成为有资质的中学数学和科学教师。英国-诺伊斯学院的获奖者预计将在符合高需求标准的选定地区教授中学数学和科学，因为他们缺乏合格的数学和科学教师。52个目标高需求地区通过正在进行的阿巴拉契亚数学科学伙伴关系和前阿巴拉契亚农村系统倡议与英国建立了长期的合作伙伴关系。该计划的目标是：(1)吸引STEM学科的学生和实习专业人员进入中学数学和科学教育；(2)为这些学生提供旨在提高学业成绩的综合支持服务，例如，教育学院、文理学院、工程学院和农业学院的协作建议；以及(3)增加中学科学和数学教育专业的毕业生人数。实现这些目标的具体目标包括：(A)要求学者的GPA为3.0，以确保他们具有高学术能力；(B)大力招募STEM学科中传统上代表性较低的群体(女性、少数族裔和残疾学生)加入UK-Noyce奖学金计划；(C)鼓励所有UK-Noyce学者在进入具有初始认证的中学教育艺术硕士(MIC)计划后一年内完成学位；以及(D)帮助UK-Noyce学者获得肯塔基州目标地区(包括阿巴拉契亚地区)的中学教师职位。总共为高年级和研究生提供了40个研究金(最少25名新生)。MIC课程是一项为期一年的强化课程，可以同时获得硕士学位和肯塔基州教师初级认证(8-12年级)。强调较强的数学/科学背景内容。英国-诺伊斯研究员是两个并行队列的成员：一个是教学基础队列，一个是数学或科学内容队列。一个跨学院的教职员工团队为学生设计和监督综合体验。伙伴学校为MIC参与者提供学徒体验。至于对K-12数学和科学课程的影响，如果每个英国-诺伊斯研究员平均有100名学生，每年将有超过4000名中学数学和科学学生由一名高素质的教师进行培训，通过他们的内容准备和教师职前培训，在STEM的实际应用方面接受培训，并在有效的教学法方面进行培训。

The UK-New Opportunities Yielding Classroom Excellence (UK-NOYCE) Mathematics and Science Fellows Program is recruiting senior science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (STEM) majors and STEM professionals to become credentialed secondary mathematics and science teachers through a collaborative effort by the College of Education, College of Engineering, and College of Arts and Science at the University of Kentucky. UK-NOYCE recipients are expected to teach secondary mathematics and sciences in selected districts which meet high need criteria because they lack qualified mathematics and science teachers. The 52 targeted high need districts have long-standing partnerships with UK through the ongoing Appalachian Math Science Partnership and former Appalachian Rural Systemic Initiative. The program objectives are to: (1) Attract students and practicing professionals in the STEM disciplines into Secondary Mathematics and Science Education; (2) Make available to these students an integrated range of support services designed to enhance academic success, for example, collaborative advising from the College of Education, College of Arts and Science, College of Engineering, and College of Agriculture; and (3) Increase the number of graduates in Secondary Science and Mathematics Education. Specific aims to achieve these objectives include: (a) Ensuring scholars are of high academic ability by requiring a GPA of 3.0, which is maintained throughout their participation in the program; (b) Making a strong effort to recruit traditionally underrepresented groups in the STEM disciplines (women, minorities, and disabled students) into the UK-NOYCE Scholarship Program; (c) Encouraging all UK-NOYCE scholars to complete their degrees within one calendar year of entering the Masters of Arts in Secondary Education with Initial Certification (MIC) program; and (d) Assisting UK-NOYCE scholars in obtaining Secondary teaching positions in the targeted regions of Kentucky (including Appalachia). In total, 40 fellowships (minimum 25 new students) are being provided for both senior and graduate level students. The MIC program is an intensive one calendar-year program that leads to both a master's degree and initial Kentucky teacher certification (grades 8-12). Emphasis is on strong math/science background content. The UK-NOYCE Fellows are members of two, concurrent cohorts: a pedagogical foundations cohort and a math or science content cohort. A cross-college team of faculty designs and supervises integrated experiences for students. Partner-schools provide apprenticeship experiences for MIC participants. In terms of the impact to the K-12 mathematics and science pipeline, if each UK-NOYCE Fellow has an average of 100 students, over 4000 secondary mathematics and science students will be educated each year by a highly qualified teacher trained in real-world applications of STEM through their content preparation and in effective pedagogy through their pre-service teacher training.
