Improving Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Teaching (IMPACT), a Phase II Noyce proposal, is a partnership of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) and the Institute of Technology (Departments of Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics), St. Paul Public Schools and Anoka-Hennepin Public Schools. IMPACT is designed to recruit, prepare, and retain highly qualified teachers of physical science and mathematics. U.S. and Minnesota schools report extreme teacher shortages in these areas and demand is expected to increase in Minnesota with new high school graduation requirements requiring mathematics coursework up to and including algebra II and a full year of physics or chemistry. IMPACT provides scholarships of up to $10,000 for approximately forty undergraduates and graduates seeking certification in mathematics or physical sciences. Recruitment occurs through the PhysTEC program, a new initiative designed to promote physics teaching as a career path for undergraduates. PhysTEC students have opportunities to teach in non-major physics classes as learning assistants and attend physics teaching seminars. Undergraduate IMPACT scholars are enrolled in the CEHD DirecTrack program which offers early coursework in education and school-based field experiences. Preparation occurs through the CEHD M.Ed. Initial Licensure Program. Students enter the 15-month program as a cohort, taking coursework in educational theory, a nine-credit science or mathematics methods sequence, educational technology, and working with English-Language-Learners. Students participate in extensive practicum and student teaching experiences in high-needs partner schools at both middle and high school level. Retention is addressed through the Science and Mathematics Teacher Induction Network (TIN), an online induction program developed in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Education, to provide mentoring and professional development to secondary science and mathematics teachers throughout Minnesota. IMPACT scholars receive on-going professional development and mentoring through TIN. Evaluation studies, which include longitudinal studies of previous cohorts of Noyce Scholars, are focusing on the effectiveness of IMPACT to recruit highly qualified students into the teacher preparation program, effectively prepare students to work in high need schools, and retain and support the professional growth of these teachers in the schools.

改善数学，物理和化学教学（IMPACT），一项II期NOYCE提案，是明尼苏达大学 - 汤因群岛大学教育与人类发展学院（CEHD）和技术研究所（化学，数学和物理学系），圣保罗公立公立和Anoka-Hennepin公立学校的合作伙伴。影响力旨在招募，准备和保留高素质的物理科学和数学教师。美国和明尼苏达州的学校报告了这些领域的极端教师短缺，预计明尼苏达州的需求将增加，新的高中毕业要求需要数学课程，包括数学课程，包括代数II和整整一年的物理或化学。 Impact为大约40名本科生和寻求数学或物理科学认证的毕业生提供了高达10,000美元的奖学金。招聘是通过Phystec计划进行的，Phystec计划是一项新的计划，旨在促进物理教学作为本科生的职业道路。 Phystec的学生有机会在非硕士物理课程中任教，作为学习助手，并参加物理学教学研讨会。本科影响学者参加了CEHD Directrack计划，该计划提供了教育和基于学校的现场经验的早期课程。 通过CEHD M.Ed进行准备。初始许可计划。学生以15个月的计划进入教育理论的课程，九个学分的科学或数学方法序列，教育技术以及与英语学习者合作。学生在中学和高中阶段都参加高需求伴侣学校的广泛实践和学生教学经验。 保留是通过与明尼苏达州教育部合作开发的在线归纳计划的科学和数学教师归纳网络（TIN），旨在为明尼苏达州的中学科学和数学教师提供指导和专业发展。影响学者通过TIN获得持续的专业发展和指导。评估研究包括对先前的Noyce学者的纵向研究，他们着重于影响招募高素质学生进入教师准备计划的影响力的有效性，有效地使学生在高需求学校工作，并保留和支持这些教师在学校中的专业成长。
