The Science Teacher and Researcher (STAR) program addresses the science and mathematics teacher recruitment and retention crisis by creating a prestigious dual "teacher-researcher" career path in an innovative partnership between universities, K-12 districts, federal research agencies, and industry. STAR leverages existing federal research and development assets to help prepare a new generation of science and math teachers equipped with the skills to inspire more of our nation's students to choose STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) career paths. The STAR program has three main goals for addressing the crisis in science and mathematics teaching: 1) enhanced recruitment of high quality teachers, 2) improved teacher education and professional development, and 3) improved teacher retention rates. Founded and implemented in 2007 at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo on behalf of the California State University (CSU) system, STAR provides cutting edge research experiences and career development for teachers during the early critical years. The key experience of the STAR program is a paid summer research internship in a national laboratory or at a NASA research center. The internship includes weekly education seminars and workshops conducted by master teachers, science education faculty, and education staff at the research facility. By anchoring preservice teachers in a community of scientific practice, they better understand what it means to be a researcher as well as a teacher of science or mathematics. This pilot expansion of the STAR program, based on the success of the program in California, is funding 45 Noyce Scholars to become STAR Fellows with 20 in California and 25 in new pilot STAR university-laboratory partnerships in up to five other states. It is increasing the pool of STAR Fellows who are Noyce Scholars and allowing evaluation of the impact of the STAR program as a value-added component of Noyce programs across the country and contributing to the research literature on the impact of providing research experiences for preservice teachers.

科学教师和研究人员(STAR)计划通过在大学、K-12学区、联邦研究机构和行业之间建立创新的合作伙伴关系，创建一条享有盛誉的教师-研究人员双重职业道路，以解决科学和数学教师招聘和保留危机。STAR利用现有的联邦研发资产，帮助培养新一代科学和数学教师，这些教师具备激发我国更多学生选择STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)职业道路的技能。STAR计划有三个主要目标来解决科学和数学教学中的危机：1)加强高质量教师的招聘，2)改善教师教育和专业发展，3)提高教师保留率。STAR于2007年在圣路易斯奥比斯波加州保利大学代表加州州立大学(CSU)系统成立并实施，为教师在关键的早期阶段提供尖端的研究经验和职业发展。STAR计划的关键经验是暑期在国家实验室或NASA研究中心的带薪研究实习。实习包括每周一次的教育研讨会和研讨会，由硕士教师、科学教育学院和研究机构的教育工作人员主持。通过将职前教师固定在一个科学实践社区，他们更好地理解了作为一名研究人员和一名科学或数学教师的意义。基于该计划在加州取得的成功，STAR计划的这一试点扩展将资助45名诺伊斯学者成为STAR研究员，其中20人在加州，25人在其他最多五个州建立新的试点STAR大学-实验室合作伙伴关系。它正在增加诺伊斯学者的明星研究员库，并允许评估作为全国诺伊斯计划的增值部分的明星计划的影响，并为关于为职前教师提供研究经验的影响的研究文献做出贡献。
