Noyce Professional Engagement for Educators in Math & Science

生物教育和数学教育专业的31名学生将在初中和高中获得每年10,000美元的奖学金。利用了新教师的招聘战略、职前培训和留用战略方面的当前最佳做法。该计划还通过参加州和地区研讨会，及早参与专业组织，强调专业参与。我们试图让学生尽早地对教学产生兴趣，以便他们能够围绕着对教学的本质和问题的洞察来塑造体验式学习。在诺伊斯项目导师的指导下，学生可以选择服务性学习项目、实习或本科生研究机会，以增强他们的教学意识。作为这项努力的一部分，每年有50名高中生被邀请参加一个为期三天的夏令营，旨在让他们参与并激励他们走向STEM专业和可能的教师生涯。学生教学和履行诺伊斯学者的服务义务主要发生在阿尔卑斯山、内波和普罗沃学区。这些高需求学区在招聘足够数量的合格数学和科学教师方面遇到了极大的困难。

Thirty one students in Biology Education and Mathematics Education programs are receiving annual scholarships of $10,000 during their junior and senior years. Current best practices in recruitment strategies, pre-service training, and retention strategies for new teachers are utilized. The program also emphasizes professional engagement by early involvement in professional organizations through attendance at state and regional workshops. An attempt is made to interest students in teaching as early as possible so that they can shape experiential learning around gaining insight into the nature and problems of teaching. Under the direction of a Noyce program mentor, students can choose service learning projects, internships, or undergraduate research opportunities to enhance their awareness of teaching. As part of the effort, fifty high school students annually are invited to attend a three day summer camp intended to involve and motivate them toward a STEM major and a possible career in teaching. Student teaching and fulfillment of the Noyce scholars' service obligations are primarily occurring in the Alpine, Nebo and Provo school districts. These high need school districts have been experiencing extreme difficulty in hiring sufficient number of qualified mathematics and science teachers.
