Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program at William Paterson University

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(Public Law 111-5)资助的。威廉·帕特森大学的罗伯特·诺伊斯项目正在招收至少38名本科生和数学专业本科生和8名专业人员进入K-12教学(特别是5-12年级)。那些打算在小学或中学任教的人会接受各种科学和数学方面的全面教育。那些打算教高中的人会接受生物、化学、地球科学或数学方面的深入教育。在第一年的教学之前，罗伯特·诺伊斯学者被要求参加八月的新手教师学院。该项目是与新泽西州北部的帕特森和帕塞伊克公立学校合作进行的。学生们在一所高需求的城市专业发展学校度过他们的临床实习和他们的学生教学学期，那里有一名教授常驻。罗伯特·诺伊斯学者在三年级和四年级被分配教师导师和同伴导师，一直持续到他们教学的头两年。该项目的目标是：增加每年毕业的科学和数学教师人数；增加毕业的第二职业科学和数学教师人数；将实习教师安置在帕特森和帕塞伊克的高需求学校；并为他们头两年的教学提供支助。这46名教师，其中许多来自少数群体，在接下来的几年里影响着他们教授的所有学生，使这些学生能够更好地为我们的技术世界做好准备。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).William Paterson University's Robert Noyce project is recruiting at least 38 undergraduate science and mathematics majors and 8 professionals into K-12 teaching (specifically grades 5-12). Those who intend to teach elementary or middle school receive a thorough education in a variety of sciences and mathematics. Those who intend to teach high school receive an in-depth education in Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, or Mathematics. Prior to their first year of teaching, Robert Noyce scholars are being required to attend an August Institute for Novice Teachers. This project is being conducted in collaboration with the Paterson and Passaic Public Schools in northern New Jersey. Students are spending their clinical practicums as well as their student teaching semester in a high-need urban Professional Development school that has a Professor in Residence. Teacher-Mentors and Peer-Mentors are being assigned to Robert Noyce scholars during their junior and senior years, continuing into their first two years of teaching. The project objectives are: increasing the number of science and math teachers who graduate each year; increasing the number of second-career science and math teachers who graduate; placing the student-teachers in high-need schools in Paterson and Passaic; and providing support for them for their first two years of teaching. The 46 teachers, many of whom are from minority groups, impact all of the students they teach in ensuing years, enabling those students to be better prepared for our technological world.
