Michigan Tech Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program

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。除了密歇根理工学院，该项目还包括萨吉诺州立大学、大河谷州立大学、三角洲学院和大急流城社区学院，以及两个学区：萨吉诺公立学校和大急流城公立学校。在该项目的五年课程中，24名科学、技术、工程或数学（STEM）本科学生和12名职业转换/STEM专业人士将通过Noyce奖学金和相关活动获得支持，因为他们准备成为高需求中学的教师。智力优势：作为其职前体验的一部分，奖学金获得者将参加由STEM教师举办的特别相关研讨会，并在两所城市合作学校的密集实地体验期间获得两所合作大学之一的教师的支持。在他们将服务的高需求学校的前两年教学期间，Noyce学者将通过Noyce指导委员会在学校接受指导，该委员会由来自学校的导师教师和来自其中一所参与大学的STEM教员和教师教育家组成。更广泛的影响：除了该项目培养的教师将在他们所去的学区产生广泛的影响外，该项目还通过其传播在更广泛的范围内加强了教师的培养。项目评估的目的是洞察所采用策略的有效性，以便在其他环境中复制可行的方法。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).In addition to Michigan Technological Institution, this project includes Saginaw Valley State University, Grand Valley State University, Delta College, and Grand Rapids Community College and two school districts: Saginaw Public Schools and Grand Rapids Public Schools. Over the five year course of the project 24 science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) undergraduate students and 12 career changer/STEM professionals are being supported through Noyce scholarships and related activities as they prepare to be teachers in high needs secondary schools. Intellectual Merit: As part of their pre-service experience the Scholars are being engaged in special related seminars conducted by STEM faculty and receiving support from faculty at one of the two partner universities during their intense field experiences in the two urban partner schools. During the first two years of teaching in the high needs schools they will serve, the Noyce Scholars will be mentored in-school through a Noyce Mentoring Committee consisting of a mentor teacher from the school and a STEM faculty member and a teacher educator from one of the participating universities. Broader Impact: In addition to the broad impact the teachers produced by this program will provide in the school districts to which they go, this project is enhancing teacher preparation more broadly through its dissemination. The program evaluation is designed to provide insights into the effectiveness of the strategies being employed so that viable approaches can be replicated in other settings.
