USD Noyce Scholarship Program

该项目是一项合作努力，为加利福尼亚州的地区性高需求学校系统培养12名高素质的中学科学和数学教师。它涉及圣地亚哥大学艺术与科学学院和领导力与教育科学学院，圣地亚哥联合学区，以及三所社区学院，格罗斯蒙特学院、圣地亚哥梅萨学院和圣地亚哥城市学院。智力优势：该计划在美国大学已有的教师培训计划中使用并扩展了几个强有力的教师培训计划。例如，在教师的早期(入职)期间，教师将通过现有的两个计划得到支持，一个是入职辅导伙伴计划，另一个是基于研究的入职计划，在该计划中，新教师由教学专家和国家认证教师委员会提供指导。该项目内关于这些方法的有效性的研究正在增加有关科学和数学教师培训有效方法的知识库。更广泛的影响存在于高需求的学区，受益于诺伊斯奖学金计划的毕业生，以及大学与其社区学院和学区合作伙伴之间不断加深的联系，因为他们意识到各自可以在加强科学和数学教师培训方面发挥作用。

This project is a cooperative effort to produce twelve highly-qualified secondary science and mathematics teachers for regional high need school systems in California. It involves the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Leadership and Education Sciences at the University of San Diego (USD), the San Diego Unified School District, and three community colleges, Grossmont College, San Diego Mesa College, and San Diego City College. Intellectual Merit: The program uses and expands upon several strong teacher preparation initiatives within the teacher preparation programs already in place at USD. For example during their early (induction) years of teaching, teachers will be supported through two existing programs, an Induction Mentoring Partnership Program and a research-based induction program, in which new teachers are mentored by content specialists and by Nationally Board Certified Teachers. Research within the project on the effectiveness of these approaches is adding to the knowledge base concerning effective approaches to science and mathematics teacher preparation. The broader impact resides in the high need school districts benefiting from the graduates of the Noyce scholarship program and the deepening ties developing between USD and its community college and school district partners as they realize the part each can play in strengthening science and mathematics teacher preparation.
