Trinity University has a nationally recognized M.A.T. program that uses an apprenticeship model for teacher preparation that is firmly grounded in research. The program produces high-quality teachers and then nurtures them by partnering closely with area schools. The Noyce scholarship program is bringing a necessary financial aid component to this strong and growing program in math and science education at Trinity. With prior Noyce support, Trinity University's M.A.T. program doubled the number of STEM majors graduating with a combined BS/MAT and teacher certification. With support from this Phase 2 Noyce award, the M.A.T. program is awarding scholarships of $15,000 to 5-8 students per year, resulting in certification of 20 additional STEM teachers. The program is also awarding 4 summer internships per year to rising sophomores and juniors majoring in STEM and with an expressed interest in education. Internship options include helping faculty to develop materials for outreach activities in local San Antonio schools, tutoring in an Upward Bound program, and research apprenticeships with STEM faculty. Recruitment of students via web and print communication, recruitment events at the university and local colleges, and a new education course in "Policy and Practice in Urban Education" is bolstered by ongoing education of STEM advisors, career counselors and financial aid staff about the Noyce program. After submitting an application, letters of reference and undergoing several interviews, Noyce Scholars are selected based on GPA, intellectual and pedagogical potential as evidenced by references and interviews, and the candidate's ability to be an effective role model for students in San Antonio area schools. All Noyce Scholars are assigned both STEM faculty and Education faculty mentors. During the first three years of teaching, their STEM and Education faculty mentors continue to provide support, particularly through support groups and summer workshops for new teachers. A new induction support program also provides in-class coaching to science and math teachers. Expanded and extended evaluation efforts are focusing on such critical aspects of program implementation as recruitment, analysis of teacher quality and student achievement, and factors that affect Noyce scholars' retention as teachers, particularly in high needs schools. San Antonio's K-12 students already benefit intellectually from the quality and stability of Trinity's well-prepared teachers; the Robert Noyce program is expanding these benefits significantly in the area of the STEM disciplines. By increasing both the quantity and quality of math and science teachers in the San Antonio area, the Robert Noyce program at Trinity is having the following impacts: better STEM instruction for urban high-need K-12 schools with high (up to 90%) Hispanic enrollment; a reduced rate of out-of-field teaching in STEM disciplines (currently estimated to be as high as 40% in high-poverty schools); an improved retention rate for beginning science and math teachers; and an increase in the number of talented scientists and mathematicians who opt for careers in teaching. The need for the kind of high-quality teacher-leaders that Trinity produces is acute in San Antonio's high-need schools.

Trinity University拥有全国认可的M.A.T.该计划使用学徒制模式为教师准备，这是牢固地扎根于研究。该计划培养高质量的教师，然后通过与地区学校密切合作来培养他们。诺伊斯奖学金计划带来了必要的财政援助组成部分，这个强大的和不断增长的计划，在数学和科学教育在Trinity。在诺伊斯的支持下，Trinity大学的M.A.T.该计划使获得BS/MAT和教师认证的STEM专业毕业生数量增加了一倍。在第二阶段诺伊斯奖的支持下，M.A.T.该计划每年向5-8名学生提供15，000美元的奖学金，从而使20名额外的STEM教师获得认证。该计划还每年向STEM专业的新生和大三学生提供4个暑期实习机会，并对教育表示兴趣。实习选择包括帮助教师在当地圣安东尼奥学校开发外展活动的材料，在一个向上的约束程序辅导，并与STEM教师研究学徒。通过网络和印刷通信，在大学和当地学院的招聘活动，以及在“城市教育的政策和实践”的新教育课程的学生招聘是由STEM顾问，职业顾问和财政援助人员对诺伊斯计划的持续教育支持。在提交申请，推荐信和经历几次面试后，诺伊斯学者根据GPA，参考和面试证明的智力和教学潜力，以及候选人成为圣安东尼奥地区学校学生有效榜样的能力进行选择。所有诺伊斯学者都被分配到STEM教师和教育教师导师。在教学的前三年，他们的STEM和教育教师导师继续提供支持，特别是通过支持小组和新教师的夏季研讨会。一个新的入门支持计划还为科学和数学教师提供课堂辅导。扩大和延伸的评估工作集中在方案实施的关键方面，如招聘，教师质量和学生成绩的分析，以及影响诺伊斯学者保留教师的因素，特别是在高需求的学校。圣安东尼奥的K-12学生已经从Trinity准备充分的教师的质量和稳定性中受益;罗伯特·诺伊斯计划正在STEM学科领域显着扩大这些好处。通过提高圣安东尼奥地区数学和科学教师的数量和质量，Trinity的Robert Noyce计划产生了以下影响：为城市高需求的K-12学校提供更好的STEM教学，（高达90%）西班牙裔入学率;减少STEM学科的校外教学率（目前估计在高度贫困的学校高达40%）;提高了初任科学和数学教师的留存率;以及增加了选择教师职业的有才华的科学家和数学家的数量。在圣安东尼奥的高需求学校中，对Trinity所培养的高质量教师领袖的需求是迫切的。
