Attracting Liberal Arts STEM Students to Teaching: A Noyce Phase1 Proposal

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。该项目的目标是大幅增加进入STEM学科教学专业的圣十字本科生人数，包括来自代表性不足群体的学生。该项目包括五个要素：(1)积极向一年级和二年级学生推广圣十字教师教育计划(TEP)和Noyce奖学金计划；(2)为一年级和二年级STEM专业的学生提供新的机会，为当地市中心的公立和私立学校的学生提供学习数学和科学概念的有偿导师和导师；(3)重组圣十字教师教育计划的实践要求，以消除专门影响对教学感兴趣的STEM专业学生的时间表障碍；(4)为参加我们TEP的STEM专业学生提供专门针对教授科学和数学的支持和指导；以及(5)实施入职和辅导活动，以支持新的STEM教师在开始他们的研究生教学职责时提供支持。共有20名学生将获得奖学金，通过他们的初中和大学四年级和70名学生实习。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The goal of this project is to increase substantially the number of Holy Cross undergraduates who enter the teaching profession in STEM disciplines, including students from underrepresented groups. The project consists of five elements: (1) aggressive marketing of the Holy Cross Teacher Education Program (TEP) and the Noyce Scholarship Program to first- and second-year students; (2) new opportunities for first- and second-year STEM majors to serve as paid tutors and mentors for local inner-city public and private school students learning concepts in mathematics and science; (3) restructuring of the practicum requirement in the Holy Cross TEP to remove scheduling barriers that uniquely affect STEM majors interested in teaching; (4) enhanced support and instruction specific to teaching science and mathematics for STEM majors enrolled in our TEP; and (5) implementation of induction and mentoring activities to support new STEM teachers once they begin their post-graduate teaching responsibilities. A total of 20 students are to be funded with scholarships through their junior and senior years and 70 student internships.
