SUNY Oneonta Noyce Scholars 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。该项目旨在将青少年教育-科学双专业毕业生人数增加24人。这24人毕业于认证的高中科学教师，并在高需求的农村或城市学校任教。 在青少年教育和他们选择的科学学科（生物学，地球科学，化学或物理学）的全内容学位毕业后，SUNY Occupta Noyce学者将准备满足我们国家在发展国家科学素养文化方面的需求。这个项目的智力价值是基于这些学生从高需求地区的服务中获得的独特视角，通过纽约市城市学区的夏季经验，以及SUNY Oakota地理区域内农村地区的学年和夏季经验。这得益于教育学和科学内容的专业课程，以及在SUNY Oakota科学发现中心和大学天文台的非正式科学教育经验。 该项目的更广泛的影响包括在项目期间至少培养了24名新教师，每年从纽约州立大学毕业的合格高中科学教师人数可持续增加40%。此外，校内的教师职前和毕业后在职支持有助于指导他们在课堂上的第一年的专业经验。这将导致更多的保留和成功，这些教师，因为他们在具有挑战性的，高需求的地区服务。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)The SUNY Oneonta Noyce Scholars Program is a unique collaboration between Oneonta's Adolescence Science Education Program and the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences and Physics. The project is to increase the number of Adolescence Education-Science dual-major graduates by twenty-four. These twenty-four individuals are graduating as certified high school science teachers and are teaching in high-need rural or urban schools. Graduating with full-content degrees in both Adolescence Education and their chosen science discipline (Biology, Earth Sciences, Chemistry or Physics), SUNY Oneonta Noyce Scholars will be prepared to meet the needs of our nation in developing a national culture of scientific literacy. The intellectual merit of this project is based in the unique perspective these students gain from service in high-need districts, facilitated by summer experiences in urban school districts in New York City, and by academic-year and summer experiences in rural districts within SUNY Oneonta's geographic area. This is bolstered by specialized coursework in both pedagogy and science content, as well as experience with informal science education at the SUNY Oneonta Science Discovery Center and College Observatory. The project's broader impacts include the preparation of at least twenty-four new teachers during the project period, a sustainable forty percent increase in the number of certified high school science teachers graduating from SUNY Oneonta annually. Additionally, on-campus pre-service and post-graduation in-service support for teachers helps guide them through the first years of their professional experiences in the classroom. This will lead to greater retention of, and success for, these teachers as they serve in challenging, high-need districts.
