Tuskegee University Robert Noyce Teaching Scholars in Mathematics and Science Education in the Alabama Black Belt

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。塔斯基吉大学为18名准备成为有效教师的高成就科学和数学专业的学生提供两到三年的奖学金，这些学生致力于在位于亚拉巴马黑带县的7个合作农村学区的高需求学校任教。 诺伊斯学者在他们的STEM专业的每一年都提供有目的，离散，分层，顺序，以探究为中心的主题课程;以及具有适当挑战性和当代数学和科学教师教育基础，其结构与专业实践灌输计划元素高度协同，从而获得教学认证。 该项目为毕业生在目标高需求学区担任教师后提供持续的支持和指导。诺伊斯学者必须参加专业活动，包括周六招聘学院，密集的夏季短期课程，新的教师导师一年两次的分享/支持会议，校园研讨会和选定的区域会议。诺伊斯学者毕业生和他们的教师同事加入塔斯基吉大学教师作为学习社区的成员，不断提高教师培训，学生学习成果和有效教师的保留。 该奖学金计划是在与包括教师教育工作者，科学家和数学家在塔斯基吉大学，其两个学院的院长，大学的教务长，沿着与学校和地区官员从七个高需求的地方教育机构（LEAs）合作开发的。该计划的各个要素准备诺伊斯学者在他们的干学科高度精通，以及了解应用的重要性，如教育在塔斯基吉大学，教育的亚拉巴马部部的部门规定的标准（亚拉巴马优质教学- AQT），全国教师教育认证理事会（NCATE），以及国家数学教师理事会和国家研究理事会制定的基本标准和目标。该项目正在培养既了解STEM内容又了解基于研究的教学方法的科学和数学教师。学者们有学术准备，使来自合作的高需求学区的儿童的数学和科学教育产生深远的影响。此外，诺伊斯学者还担任导师和榜样的孩子们在高需求的学校。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(Public Law 111-5).Tuskegee University is providing two or three-year scholarships to 18 high achieving science and mathematics majors preparing to become effective teachers who are committed to teaching in high-need schools in 7 partnering rural school districts located in Alabama Black Belt counties. The Noyce Scholars are provided with a purposeful, discrete, hierarchal, sequential, inquiry-centered and topical curricula in each year of their STEM major; and appropriately challenging and contemporary mathematics and science teacher education foundation structured to be highly synergistic with a professional practice infusion program element leading to teaching certification. The project provides on-going support and mentoring for program graduates after employment as teachers in the target high need school districts. Noyce Scholars are required to participate in professional activities including the Saturday Recruitment Academy, intensive summer short courses, new teacher-mentor biannual sharing/support conferences, on-campus seminars and selected regional conferences. Noyce Scholar graduates and their teacher colleagues join Tuskegee University faculty as members of a learning community to continuously improve training of teachers, student learning outcomes and retention of effective teachers. The scholarship program was developed in cooperation with a diverse group of personnel including teacher educators, scientists, and mathematicians at Tuskegee University, the Deans of two of its colleges, the University's Provost, along with school and district officials from seven high needs Local Education Agencies (LEAs). The various elements of the program prepare Noyce Scholars to be highly proficient in their STEM discipline as well as understand the importance of applying the standards set forth by bodies such as the Division of Education at Tuskegee University, the Alabama Department of Education (Alabama Quality Teaching - AQT), National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), as well as essential standards and objectives formulated by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the National Research Council (NRC). The project is producing science and mathematics teachers knowledgeable about both the STEM content and research-based teaching methodologies. Scholars have the academic preparedness to make a profound impact on the mathematics and science education of children from the partnering high needs school districts. In addition, the Noyce Scholars also serve as mentors and role models for the children in the high needs schools.
