The University of Kansas Noyce Phase II Scholarship & Stipend Program

该奖项由2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助。英国教学诺伊斯第二阶段奖学金和津贴计划正在通过发展大学和高需求学区之间的合作来解决该地区数学和科学教师的严重短缺问题。在四年的时间里，每年颁发10个奖学金，32名不同的学生得到了英国教育诺伊斯项目的支持。出色的项目充实活动，包括导师支持、周六和夏季研讨会，以及仔细的遴选过程，正在增加Noyce项目成功的可能性。该项目的目标是将英国教学计划培养的有才华的中学数学和科学教师的数量翻一番。更广泛的影响来自于招聘以前未被开发的人才库的能力：学生在四年内获得科学和数学学位，并获得教学执照。该计划的学术价值在于高素质和经验丰富的项目人员，以及为诺伊斯学者提供强有力和支持性的入门计划。该项目通过探索数学和科学教师创造性的招聘、准备和留用策略的成功之处，促进了知识和理解。通过课程作业和在高需求学校的早期实地教学经验，学者们正在准备在经济困难学生人数较多的地区担任职务。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)The UKanTeach Noyce Phase II Scholarship and Stipend Program is addressing the critical shortage of mathematics and science teachers in the region by developing a collaboration involving the University and high needs school districts. Ten scholarships are being awarded each year, for four years, with 32 different students supported by the UKanTeach Noyce Project. Excellent program enrichment activities that include mentor-teacher support, Saturday and summer workshops, and a careful selection process is increasing the likelihood of a successful Noyce program. The project's goal is a doubling of the number of talented secondary mathematics and science teachers prepared by the UKanTeach Program. The broader impact stems from the ability to recruit a formerly untapped pool of talent: students earning a degree in science and mathematics and a teaching license in four years. The intellectual merit of the program lies in the highly qualified and experienced project personnel and in a robust and supportive induction program for Noyce Scholars. This project is advancing knowledge and understanding by exploring the success of creative recruitment, preparation and retention strategies for mathematics and science teachers. The Scholars are being prepared, through coursework and by early field experience teaching in high needs schools, to take positions in districts that have high numbers of economically disadvantaged students.
