The University of Kansas Noyce Phase II Scholarship & Stipend 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UKanTeach Noyce第二阶段奖学金和津贴计划正在通过发展涉及大学和高需求学区的合作来解决该地区数学和科学教师的严重短缺问题。每年颁发十个奖学金，为期四年，由UKanTeach Noyce项目支持的32名不同的学生。 优秀的课程丰富活动，包括导师支持，周六和夏季研讨会，以及精心挑选的过程，增加了诺伊斯计划成功的可能性。 该项目的目标是使UKanTeach计划培养的有才华的中学数学和科学教师人数翻一番。更广泛的影响来自于招募以前未开发的人才库的能力：学生在四年内获得科学和数学学位以及教学许可证。 该计划的智力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的强大和支持性的入门课程。该项目通过探索数学和科学教师的创造性招聘，准备和保留策略的成功来推进知识和理解。通过课程学习和在高需求学校的早期实地教学经验，这些学者正在做好准备，以便在有大量经济困难学生的地区担任职务。

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.
