Northeast Tennessee Robert Noyce Scholarship Program

田纳西州东北部阿巴拉契亚地区学校的地理隔离和严重的资源限制使得STEM教师的招聘和保留成为一项挑战。田纳西州东北部罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金计划是一个三管齐下的方法，以防止许多人成为高中数学教师的机会，经济能力和支持的缺乏。该项目正在通过暑期实习招募和组建未来教师队伍。这些本科生是“指导导师”，他们被整合到现有的高中生课程中。 实习生接触到他们未来可能的职业生涯的中心焦点-通过教学，项目和对话与高中学生一起工作。在这样做的同时，他们自己也被指导如何最好地与这些高中生互动。该项目为24名准备成为教师的初中和高中数学专业学生提供奖学金。 在职和同龄教师的网络是通过丰富的活动，特别是在计算科学和教学技术领域的促进。 一个学年的讲座/研讨会/讨论系列具有现代技术，如网络研讨会和远程位置参与。 诺伊斯学者群体正在设计和组织课外活动，其中大部分涉及在职教师。这向学者们介绍了他们未来的同事，并使他们接触到作为STEM高中教师的职业生涯的非教学方面，让他们在大学毕业前对未来的工作有一个清晰的认识。

The geographic isolation and severe resource limitations of schools in the Northeast Tennessee region of Appalachia make the recruitment and retention of STEM teachers a challenge. The Northeast Tennessee Robert Noyce Scholarship Program is a three-pronged approach to the lack of opportunity, financial ability, and support that prevent many from becoming high school mathematics teachers. The project is recruiting and forming cohorts of future teachers via summer internships. These undergraduates are "mentored mentors" who are integrated into existing programs for high school students. Interns are exposed to the central focus of their possible future career - that of working with high school students through instruction, projects, and dialogue. While doing so, they themselves are mentored on how best to interact with these high school students. The project is providing scholarships to 24 junior and senior mathematics majors who are preparing to become teachers. Networking of inservice and cohort teachers is facilitated via enrichment activities especially in the areas of computational science and instructional technology. An academic year lecture/workshop/discussion series features modern technologies such as webinars and remote location participation. Noyce scholar cohorts are designing and organizing extra-curricular activities, most of which involve in-service teachers. This introduces the scholars to their future colleagues and exposes them to the non-instructional aspects of a career as a STEM high school instructor, giving them a solid view of their future jobs before they graduate from college.
