This Phase II Noyce project seeks to: 1) recruit more highly qualified individuals into careers in mathematics and science teaching; 2) prepare these individuals to teach mathematics and science in standards-based ways; 3) support mathematics and science teachers in their induction years through online social networking; and 4) evaluate program success in terms of recruitment, preparation, and retention of mathematics and science teachers. In each year of the 3-year project, 14 stipends of $10,000 are offered to qualified STEM professionals who hold a baccalaureate, masters, or doctoral degree in mathematics, science, or related field who enroll in MU's alternative certification program in mathematics and science education, resulting in 42 new science and math teachers. The students are obligated to teach mathematics or science for two years in a high need school district (preferably in Missouri), within 6 years after program completion. The project is developing and implementing the Noyce Scholar Support Network (NSSN), an on-line collaboration and learning environment, where past, current, and future Noyce Scholars, along with MU mathematics and science educators, form a community of learners. Participation in the NSSN has the potential of increasing teacher retention in the field. The evaluation work includes the development and dissemination of new instruments for judging the success of alternative certification.

第二阶段Noyce项目旨在：1)招募更多高素质的人才从事数学和科学教学工作；2)培养这些人以基于标准的方式教授数学和科学；3)通过在线社交网络支持初入职的数学和科学教师；4)评估项目在数学和科学教师的招聘、准备和保留方面的成功。在这个为期三年的项目中，每年有14名合格的STEM专业人员获得10,000美元的奖学金，这些专业人员持有数学，科学或相关领域的学士，硕士或博士学位，并参加MU的数学和科学教育替代认证计划，从而产生42名新的科学和数学教师。学生有义务在课程完成后的6年内，在高需求学区（最好在密苏里州）教授数学或科学两年。该项目正在开发和实施Noyce学者支持网络（NSSN），这是一个在线协作和学习环境，过去，现在和未来的Noyce学者与MU数学和科学教育者一起形成学习者社区。参加新社会保障计划有可能增加教师在该领域的留用。评价工作包括发展和传播判断备选核证是否成功的新工具。
