SUNY Cortland Noyce Project

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。纽约州立大学科特兰分校（State University of New York-Cortland）正在提供诺伊斯奖学金，其中32名是科学、技术或数学专业的本科生，18名是（科学、技术、工程或数学）STEM职业转行者，他们希望获得研究生学位，为将来的教学做准备。这将产生50名新的科学或数学中学教师，他们在学科和教学方法方面都做好了充分的准备，将在纽约州中部和包括纽约市在内的五个主要城市地区的高需求学区服务。合作学区包括：辛辛那提中心学区、科特兰市学区、德莱顿中心学区、荷马中心学区、马拉松中心学区和南塞内卡中心学区，以及纽约市教育部。智力优势：该项目的智力优势在于对学者的严格学习要求；一个涉及类似于特定STEM学科专业的课程学习，包括在内城和其他贫困学校的教学准备和经验。为了使他们准备在这些高需求学校工作，诺伊斯学者正在参加一个城市教育综合方案，并在这些学校提供专门课程和实地经验。至少在他们教学生涯的前两年（早期入职年），他们将通过电子和面对面的方式接受专门的指导。更广泛的影响：除了对与他们互动的学校和学生产生积极影响外，该项目还旨在帮助其培养的教师成为STEM教育的领导者。除了奖学金之外，奖学金获得者还将获得相应专业协会的会员资格，并参加这些协会的区域和国家会议，从而成为国家STEM教育社区的成员并为其做出贡献。该项目还准备创建一个Robert Noyce Facebook小组，使整个Robert Noyce奖学金项目社区的Noyce学者能够发布材料和想法，并就如何应对共同挑战交换信息。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The State University of New York-Cortland is providing Noyce scholarships, 32 to undergraduates majoring in science, technology or mathematics and 18 to (science, technology, engineering or mathematics) STEM career changers seeking graduate degrees to prepare them to teach. This will result in 50 new science or mathematics secondary teachers, well prepared in both subject matter and teaching approaches, to serve in high needs school districts in central New York State and the five major city areas of the state, including New York City. Cooperating school districts include: Cinncinnatus Central School District, The Cortland City School District, Dryden Central School District, Homer Central School District, Marathon Central School District, and South Seneca Central School District, and the New York City Department of Education. Intellectual Merit: The intellectual merit of the project resides in the rigorous course of study required of the Scholars; one that involves a course of study akin to a major in a specific STEM discipline and that includes strong preparation in and experience with teaching in inner city and other needy schools. To prepare them to work in these high needs schools the Noyce Scholars are being enrolled in a comprehensive program in urban education and are being offered specialized course work and field experiences in these schools. During at least the first two years of their teaching career (early induction years) they will receive specialized mentoring through both electronic and in-person means. Broader Impacts: In addition to the positive effect the Scholars will have on the schools and students with whom they interact, the project is designed to help the teachers it prepares become leaders in STEM education. In addition to their scholarships the Scholars are receiving funds to cover membership in appropriate professional societies and to attend regional and national meetings of these societies so they become members of and contribute to the national STEM education community. The project is also preparing to create a Robert Noyce Facebook group to enable Noyce Scholars from across the whole community of Robert Noyce Scholarship projects post materials and ideas and exchange information on meeting common challenges.
