This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The Noyce Teaching Fellows at Trinity University is a partnership among Trinity University; eight San Antonio area school districts; the non-profit Zachry Foundation; the Howard Hughes Medical Institute; and Educational Service Center-Region 20 to support two cohorts of STEM professionals in becoming high quality teachers. Partnering independent school districts committed to employing and supporting the ten Noyce Teaching Fellows through their four induction years include: San Antonio, Alamo Heights, Boerne, East Central, Judson, North East, Northside, and Randolph Field.This Noyce Teaching Fellows program allows the partnership to bring STEM professionals into the strong and growing mathematics and science education program at Trinity University. The need for in-field science and mathematics teachers in the partner high-need school districts is acute, and there is a ready pool of STEM professionals who may be drawn to the teaching profession through financial incentives and the educational support of the Noyce Teaching Fellows program. As the nation's seventh largest city, San Antonio houses the national headquarters for several Fortune 500 companies and is also home to over 89,000 individuals employed in the defense industry -- the majority sharing an affiliation with one of San Antonio's five permanent military bases and a growing military medical center. Among these corporations and the military are potential career changers who have STEM degrees and much to offer to elementary, middle and high school classrooms. Four STEM professionals comprise the first year cohort of Noyce Teaching Fellows and six join in the second year. Fellows receive the full cost-of-attendance scholarship in the first year as they earn their Masters of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) degree and a $15,000 salary supplement (later adjusted for inflation) for each of the first four years of teaching in a high-need elementary, middle and/or high school in the partner districts. Project outcomes include: better STEM instruction for high-need K-12 school districts with up to 90% Hispanic enrollment; a reduced rate of out-of-field teaching in STEM disciplines (estimated to be as high as 40% in schools with high-poverty populations); an improved retention rate for beginning teachers; and an increase in the number of talented scientists and mathematicians who opt for careers in teaching. Noyce Teaching Fellows take advantage of Trinity's nationally recognized M.A.T. program and benefit from a research-based apprenticeship in professional development schools, creation of a personal portfolio with evidence of meeting Trinity's Standards for Professional Practice, induction support with in-class coaching, and summer professional development opportunities. Each Noyce Teaching Fellow has two university advisors, one in their STEM teaching content area and one who is a pedagogical content specialist.

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。该诺伊斯教学研究员在Trinity大学是一个合作伙伴之间的Trinity大学;八个圣安东尼奥地区学区;非营利扎克里基金会;霍华德休斯医学研究所;和教育服务中心区域20支持两批STEM专业人士成为高素质的教师。 合作的独立学区致力于雇用和支持十诺伊斯教学研究员通过他们的四个入职年包括：圣安东尼奥，阿拉莫高地，博尔内，东中央，贾德森，东北，诺斯赛德，和兰多夫场。这个诺伊斯教学研究员计划允许合作伙伴关系，使干专业人士到强大的和不断增长的数学和科学教育计划在Trinity大学。 在合作伙伴的高需求学区对实地科学和数学教师的需求是尖锐的，并且有一个现成的STEM专业人才库，他们可以通过财政激励和诺伊斯教学研究员计划的教育支持被吸引到教学行业。 作为美国第七大城市，圣安东尼奥是几家财富500强公司的国家总部所在地，也是国防工业雇用的89，000多人的家园-其中大多数与圣安东尼奥的五个永久军事基地之一和一个不断发展的军事医疗中心有联系。在这些公司和军队中，有潜在的职业改变者，他们拥有STEM学位，可以为小学、初中和高中课堂提供很多东西。四个STEM专业人士组成了诺伊斯教学研究员的第一年队列，第二年有六个加入。 研究员在第一年获得全额出勤奖学金，因为他们获得了教学艺术硕士（M.A.T.）。在伙伴地区的高需求小学、初中和/或高中任教的头四年，每年可获得15 000美元的工资补贴（后来根据通货膨胀进行了调整）。项目成果包括：为高需求的K-12学区提供更好的STEM教学，西班牙裔入学率高达90%;降低STEM学科的校外教学率（估计在高贫困人口的学校高达40%）;提高初任教师的留存率;增加选择教学职业的有才华的科学家和数学家的数量。诺伊斯教学研究员利用Trinity的国家认可的M.A.T.计划并受益于专业发展学校的基于研究的学徒制，创建符合Trinity专业实践标准的个人投资组合，通过课堂辅导提供入门支持，以及夏季专业发展机会。 每个诺伊斯教学研究员有两个大学顾问，一个在他们的STEM教学内容领域，一个是教学内容专家。
