MU Noyce Scholars Program for Science and Mathematics Teachers

Noyce项目的第二阶段旨在：1）招募更多高素质的人从事数学和科学教学; 2）让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数学和科学教师的入职年; 4）从数学和科学教师的招聘、准备和保留方面评估项目的成功。 在为期3年的项目的每一年，14 $10，000的津贴提供给合格的STEM专业人士谁持有学士学位，硕士，或博士学位的数学，科学，或相关领域谁注册在MU的数学和科学教育的替代认证计划，导致42个新的科学和数学教师。学生有义务教数学或科学在一个高需要学区两年（最好是在密苏里州），在6年内计划完成后。该项目正在开发和实施诺伊斯学者支持网络（NSSN），一个在线协作和学习环境，过去，现在和未来的诺伊斯学者，沿着MU数学和科学教育工作者，形成一个学习者社区。参加国家社会安全网有可能增加教师在外地的保留率。 评估工作包括开发和传播新的工具，以判断替代认证是否成功。

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.
