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（公法111-5）资助的。威廉帕特森大学的Robert Noyce项目正在招募至少38名科学和数学专业的本科生和8名专业人士进入K-12教学（特别是5-12年级）。那些打算教小学或中学的人接受各种科学和数学的全面教育。那些打算教高中的人接受生物、化学、地球科学或数学方面的深入教育。在他们第一年的教学之前，罗伯特·诺伊斯的学者被要求参加一个8月的新教师学院。这个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。学生们将在一所高需求的城市专业发展学校进行临床实习和学生教学学期，该学校有一位常驻教授。在Robert Noyce学者的大三和大四期间，教师导师和同伴导师将被分配给他们，并持续到他们的前两年教学。该项目的目标是：增加每年科学和数学教师的毕业人数；增加第二职业科学和数学教师的毕业人数；将学生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持。这46名教师，其中许多来自少数群体，在随后的几年里影响着他们所教的所有学生，使这些学生为我们的科技世界做好更好的准备。

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.
