Pacific STEM Teaching Pathways

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。太平洋STEM教学路径（PSTP）是太平洋大学自然科学系、教育学院和俄勒冈州几个当地高需求K-12学区之间的合作项目。其目的是通过针对两个特定的候选人池：太平洋大学本科STEM专业和职业转变的STEM专业人士，增加K-12模范STEM教师的数量。没有中学经验，但有兴趣以教学为职业的个人，强烈建议与导师老师一起完成30小时的志愿实习。PSTP为35名STEM教学候选人提供长达两年的Noyce奖学金支持，这些候选人每获得一年的支持，就有义务在高需求学区服务两年。教师毕业后将获得教育学硕士学位，并接受为期三年的入职培训。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).Pacific STEM Teaching Pathways (PSTP) is a collaboration among the Pacific University Division of Natural Sciences, the College of Education, and several local Oregon high-needs K-12 school districts. Its purpose is to increase the number of exemplary K-12 STEM teachers by targeting two specific candidate pools: Pacific University undergraduate STEM majors and career-changing STEM professionals. Individuals with no secondary school experience but interested in making teaching a career are strongly urged to complete a 30 hour volunteer internship with a mentor teacher. PSTP is providing up to two years of Noyce Scholarship support for 35 STEM teaching candidates, who are obligated for two years of service in a high needs school district for each year of support received. Teachers graduate with a Master of Arts in Teaching and are supported with an induction program for three years.
