Cal Teach at Berkeley: Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship 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。加州大学伯克利分校罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金项目支持数学、科学和工程专业的本科生获得学科学位和K-12教学证书，重点是在城市学校教学。该项目每年招收12名低年级学生，通过与当地研究、专业发展和外展合作伙伴的暑期实习，从事数学和科学教学，并每年向10名参加新的Cal Teach项目的高年级学生提供奖学金。奖学金在STEM学科中非常显眼，并被确定为反映学生成就和声望的奖项。Robert Noyce教师奖学金项目是建立在Cal Teach创建的不断发展的项目的基础上的，该项目旨在鼓励伯克利的STEM本科生从事数学和科学教学，特别是在城市学校，并与当地学区（伯克利，埃默里和奥克兰联合）以及当地研究和推广机构（劳伦斯科学馆和Chabot空间和科学中心）建立了牢固的现有合作关系。Cal Teach是一个综合项目，提供早期和频繁的实地实习；这使得有抱负的教师在理论和实践中都能培养对主题的深刻理解和模范教学技能。为了实现这一目标，Cal Teach聘请了来自STEM内容领域和教育研究生院的教师，通过跨学科的方法来培养教师，这在为城市学校培训中学数学和科学教师的背景下至关重要，因为城市学校严重缺乏高质量的教师。Cal Teach致力于为每个学生提供公平的教育，通过数学和科学学习促进社会正义。Robert Noyce教师奖学金计划将分享这一承诺的优秀学生带入Cal Teach，目标是同时获得STEM专业的学科学位和数学或科学的教学证书。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The Cal Teach at Berkeley Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program is supporting undergraduate students in mathematics, science and engineering toward their disciplinary degrees and K-12 teaching credentials, with a focus on teaching in urban schools. The program is engaging 12 lower division students per year in math and science teaching through summer internships with local research, professional development, and outreach partners, and is providing scholarships to 10 upper division students per year who are engaged in the new Cal Teach program. The scholarship awards are highly visible within the STEM disciplines, and are identified as awards reflecting student accomplishment and prestige. The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program is building on the growing program that Cal Teach has created to encourage STEM undergraduates at Berkeley to pursue careers in math and science teaching, particularly in urban schools, and on strong existing partnerships with local school districts (Berkeley, Emery, and Oakland Unified) and with local research and outreach institutions (Lawrence Hall of Science and the Chabot Space and Science Center). Cal Teach is an integrated program, with early and frequent field placements; this allows aspiring teachers to develop both deep subject matter understanding and exemplary pedagogical skills as they engage in both theory and practice. To accomplish this, Cal Teach engages faculty from the STEM content areas as well as from the Graduate School of Education through an interdisciplinary approach to teacher preparation that has been shown to be critical in the context of training secondary math and science teachers for urban schools, where high quality teachers are severely lacking. Cal Teach is committed to equity in education for every student, promoting social justice through mathematics and science learning. The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program brings outstanding students who share this commitment into Cal Teach, with the goal of simultaneous disciplinary degrees in STEM majors and a teaching credential in math or science.
