This phase 1 project is increasing the supply of high-quality STEM teachers at the middle and high school level for inner-city districts. With five new Noyce undergraduate scholarships per year (each scholarship to support students during both the junior and senior years) and a total of 10 Noyce Scholarships during any one year this project will produce a total of 25 new middle or high school teachers. Intellectual merit: This project builds on a strong academic program in science, technology, engineering and mathematics coupled with an interesting newly emerging state accredited program in teacher education. It is being advised by a committee that includes a number of key administrators from both the university and the school district involved and one faculty member each from the biology, mathematics, chemistry and physics departments. Formative and summative assessments by the Donahue Institute of the University of Massachusetts are guiding the development of the program and providing knowledge about effective means of developing STEM teachers for inner city middle and high schools. The induction program for new teachers is supported by the Worcester School District through its comprehensive Mentor/Induction Program. This program provides 1) an in-depth orientation, 2) a trained mentor, and 3) a 16 week, 40 hour beginning teacher institute for both years one and two. In addition to the knowledge to be gained concerning effective ways of preparing science and mathematics teachers for inner city schools, the broad impacts resulting from this project include the classroom experiences of the many high school and middle school students who will be taught by the 25 teachers graduating from the "NSF Noyce Scholarship Program at WPI with Worcester Public Schools".

该项目第一阶段旨在增加内城区初中和高中高素质 STEM 教师的供应。该项目每年提供 5 个新的诺伊斯本科生奖学金（每个奖学金用于支持大三和大四的学生），并且在任何一年内总共提供 10 个诺伊斯奖学金，该项目将总共培养 25 名新的初中或高中教师。智力优势：该项目建立在科学、技术、工程和数学方面强大的学术项目以及有趣的新兴国家认可的教师教育项目的基础上。该项目由一个委员会提供建议，该委员会包括来自相关大学和学区的多名主要管理人员，以及生物、数学、化学和物理系各一名教职人员。 马萨诸塞大学多纳休研究所的形成性和总结性评估正在指导该计划的开发，并提供有关为内城区初高中培养 STEM 教师的有效方法的知识。 新教师入职计划由伍斯特学区通过其综合导师/入职计划支持。该项目提供 1) 深入的指导，2) 训练有素的导师，以及 3) 第一年和第二年为期 16 周、40 小时的初级教师学院。除了获得有关为市中心学校培养科学和数学教师的有效方法的知识外，该项目产生的广泛影响还包括许多高中生和中学生的课堂经验，这些学生将由从“伍斯特公立学校 WPI 的 NSF 诺伊斯奖学金计划”毕业的 25 名教师授课。
