摘要103532234名中学STEM教师正在通过以下三种课程选择之一获得认证：传统的四年制课程，可获得数学或生物学学士学位；为寻求职业转变的STEM专业人员提供为期两年的MAT课程；并且，为那些首先希望完成STEM学位并继续学习第五年以获得教师资格证书的学生提供新的五年MAT课程（MAT5）。预计在五年的项目中，将有7名教师通过传统途径，6名MAT职业转换者和21名MAT5毕业生。除了34名诺伊斯学者教师之外，预计还有30名新教师将在没有诺伊斯支持的情况下毕业。Noyce项目建立在现有的教育人员招聘中心的基础上，并与教育学院教师质量项目NetSCOPE建立了合作关系。NetSCOPE建立了与高需求学校的联系，为Noyce学者提供了与学生的互动，观察教室，与不同学区的教师和管理人员进行远程会议，并有机会调查基于研究的实践，以满足不同学生的需求。有七个高需求学区正在与诺伊斯项目合作：切罗基县学校；切斯特县学校；费尔菲尔德县学校；兰开斯特县学校；联合县学校，约克学区1；Rock Hill学校。

Noyce Abstract 1035322Thirty-four secondary STEM teachers are being certified through one of three program options: traditional four year program leading to a BA or BS in mathematics or BA in biology; a two year MAT pathway for STEM professionals seeking a career change; and, a new fifth year MAT program (MAT5) for students who first wish to complete the STEM degree and continue for a fifth year to earn teacher certification. Projections are for the production of seven teachers via the traditional route, six MAT career changers and twenty-one MAT5 graduates during the five year program. The thirty-four Noyce scholar-teachers are in addition to the anticipated thirty new teachers to graduate without Noyce support. The Noyce program builds on the existing Center for Educator Recruitment and partnership with College of Education Teacher Quality program, NetSCOPE. Connections to high needs schools have been established by NetSCOPE and provide Noyce scholars interaction with students, observation of classrooms and teleconferences with teachers and administrators in various school districts and opportunities to investigate research-based practices on working with diverse student needs. There are seven high needs school districts that are collaborating with the Noyce program: Cherokee County Schools; Chester County Schools; Fairfield County Schools; Lancaster County Schools; Union County Schools, York School District 1; and, Rock Hill Schools.
