This project involves the Purdue University Colleges of Science, Education, Engineering and Technology in a partnership with Crawfordsville, Logansport, and Benton County schools, all small town and rural districts. Up to 35 science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) majors are being helped by this Noyce project in their efforts to become high school science and mathematics teachers. Support is provided through scholarships (some with one year of aid and others with two years of aid, reflecting the years remaining to the student's degree when the scholarships are first awarded) and through a program designed for them in cooperation with other existing and emerging programs for STEM teacher workforce development at Purdue. The Purdue Center for Research and Engagement in Science and Mathematics Education (CRESME), a joint effort between the Colleges of Science and Education, is taking the lead in this effort, aided by other educational research units on the Purdue campus, including the Colleges of Technology and Engineering, and the Discovery Learning Center. The program is improving STEM education within small, rural school districts around Purdue and is providing insights that may be extended to similar rural settings around the nation.Intellectual Merit: Educational research-oriented centers and departments on campus are working with teacher preparation and new teacher support programs and the Noyce project to recruit talented STEM undergraduates to teaching careers. They are working with the students, helping them explore the educational issues in their technical fields while at Purdue, especially in rural communities, and supporting them programmatically during their initial teaching years. The Noyce Scholars are being housed intellectually within CRESME. which is responsible for project infrastructure, curricula and course design, and for tracking of the scholars in order to determine project outcomes. As part of their teacher preparation program Noyce Scholars are participating in senior thesis projects (conducting research as assistants in existing STEM education research efforts in their disciplines) and a special Noyce seminar course. They are also being provided with a network of support and mentoring both while they are at Purdue and after they begin their teaching careers. Broader Impacts: Through dissemination of lessons learned from this project, Purdue is improving its ability to provide STEM teachers with education services and is providing direct outreach assistance to the increasingly diverse underserved rural and small town communities of Indiana and educational models for use throughout Indiana and the nation.

该项目涉及普渡大学科学、教育、工程和技术学院与克劳福兹维尔、洛根斯波特和本顿县学校的合作，所有这些学校都是小城镇和农村地区。 多达35个科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM）专业的学生正在帮助这个诺伊斯项目在他们的努力成为高中科学和数学教师。 支持通过奖学金提供（一些有一年的援助和其他两年的援助，反映了剩余的几年，以学生的学位时，奖学金首次授予），并通过为他们设计的计划与其他现有的和新兴的计划合作，在普渡大学干教师队伍的发展。普渡大学科学与数学教育研究与参与中心（CRESME）是科学与教育学院之间的一项共同努力，在普渡大学校园内的其他教育研究单位（包括技术与工程学院和探索学习中心）的帮助下，正在带头开展这项工作。 该计划正在改善普渡周围小型农村学区的STEM教育，并提供可能扩展到全国类似农村环境的见解。智力优势：校园内以教育研究为导向的中心和部门正在与教师准备和新的教师支持计划以及Noyce项目合作，招募有才华的STEM本科生从事教学工作。他们正在与学生合作，帮助他们在普渡大学期间探索技术领域的教育问题，特别是在农村社区，并在最初的教学年期间为他们提供编程支持。诺伊斯学者被安置在CRESME的智力。该委员会负责项目基础设施、课程和课程设计，并负责跟踪学者，以确定项目成果。 作为他们的教师准备计划的一部分，诺伊斯学者正在参加高级论文项目（在他们的学科现有的STEM教育研究工作中担任助理）和一个特殊的诺伊斯研讨会课程。 他们还被提供了一个网络的支持和指导，而他们在普渡大学和之后，他们开始他们的教学生涯。 更广泛的影响：通过传播从该项目中吸取的经验教训，普渡大学正在提高其为STEM教师提供教育服务的能力，并为印第安纳州日益多样化的服务不足的农村和小城镇社区提供直接的外展援助，并为整个印第安纳州和全国提供教育模式。
