Over five years, CSUDH is offering $10,000 scholarships to 35 unduplicated juniors and seniors majoring in biology, chemistry, mathematics or physics who are becoming math-science teachers in high-need secondary schools in the Los Angeles or Lynwood school districts. A large percentage of the scholarship recipients are underrepresented minorities, based on CSUDH's STEM undergraduate pool: 39% Latino, 32% African American, 12% Asian/Pacific Islander, 6% white, 11% unknown. The Noyce program operates in cohorts, led by advisors from the two participating CSUDH colleges. Scholars attend monthly cohort meetings for peer and faculty support, advising, mentoring, information, exposure to math-science secondary teaching and education experts. Through the cohorts, scholars are linked to academic resources, financial aid or other programs that meet individual needs. The Noyce program leverages 1) a state-funded undergraduate recruiting program for mathscience majors, which offers academic support but not financial support; and 2) a federally funded accelerated credential program, Transition to Teaching (TTT). In combination, Noyce and TTT provide 3 years of financial support during the last 2 years of undergraduate study and 1 year of postbaccalaureate teacher training. Noyce scholars transition into TTT, which enables them to earn their credential in one year while holding a full-time teaching position as a university intern in the high-needs Los Angeles Unified or Lynwood school districts and which provides financial assistance and substantial support in a cohort structure, leading to high retention. Of the 113 total TTT participants in the past three years; 108 (95.5%) are teaching in the challenging TTT service-area schools and another four are teaching elsewhere (99% total teaching). Intellectual Merit: The evaluation phase of this project is measuring the extent to which combining undergraduate math-science training with scholarships, advising, academic support and monitoring in a cohort structure enables students to focus on their studies, maintain their grades, stay in school, complete their degree in a timely fashion and become successful math-science teachers. The project also is providing an opportunity to use scholarships to leverage an undergraduate recruiting program for math-science majors and an accelerated credential program that includes employment as an intern teacher. Results can help shape future strategies to alleviate the math-science teacher shortage.Broader Impact: The success of this project in increasing the supply of well-qualified math-science teachers in Los Angeles will have a positive impact on the lives and aspirations of the scholars' students, as well as their schools. It will positively affect the community and local economy when students trained by these teachers bring their math-science skills into the workplace.

五年来，CSUDH 将为 35 名生物、化学、数学或物理专业的三年级和四年级学生提供 10,000 美元的奖学金，这些学生将成为洛杉矶或林伍德学区高需求中学的数学科学教师。根据 CSUDH 的 STEM 本科生人数，很大一部分奖学金获得者是代表性不足的少数族裔：39% 拉丁裔、32% 非裔美国人、12% 亚裔/太平洋岛民、6% 白人、11% 未知。诺伊斯项目以小组形式开展，由来自两所参与的 CSUDH 学院的顾问领导。学者们每月参加一次队列会议，以获得同行和教师的支持、建议、指导、信息、接触数学科学中学教学和教育专家。通过这些群体，学者们可以获得学术资源、经济援助或其他满足个人需求的项目。 诺伊斯计划利用了1）国家资助的数学科学专业本科生招生计划，该计划提供学术支持，但不提供财务支持； 2) 联邦政府资助的加速证书计划，过渡到教学 (TTT)。诺伊斯和 TTT 共同为本科学习的最后 2 年和学士后教师培训 1 年提供 3 年的经济支持。 诺伊斯学者过渡到 TTT，这使他们能够在一年内获得证书，同时在高需求的洛杉矶联合学区或林伍德学区担任大学实习生的全职教学职位，并在队列结构中提供财政援助和实质性支持，从而导致高保留率。过去三年共有 113 名 TTT 参与者； 108 所学校（95.5%）在具有挑战性的 TTT 服务区学校任教，另外 4 所学校在其他地方任教（占总教学人数的 99%）。 智力优势：该项目的评估阶段正在衡量本科数学科学培训与奖学金、建议、学术支持和监测相结合在队列结构中的程度，使学生能够专注于学习、保持成绩、留在学校、及时完成学位并成为成功的数学科学教师。该项目还提供了一个机会，利用奖学金来利用数学科学专业的本科生招聘计划和包括实习教师就业在内的加速证书计划。结果可以帮助制定缓解数学科学教师短缺问题的未来策略。 更广泛的影响：该项目成功增加了洛杉矶合格的数学科学教师的供应，将对学者学生及其学校的生活和愿望产生积极影响。当这些老师培训的学生将他们的数学科学技能带入工作场所时，将对社区和当地经济产生积极影响。
