Vassar Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program

瓦萨学院的第一阶段罗伯特·诺伊斯教师教育奖学金计划正在招募、准备和认证14名成绩优异的STEM专业学生，以成为高需求学校的K-12科学和数学教师。该计划建立在瓦萨严格的本科STEM课程，强调领导力的教师教育计划，以及与当地高需求学校建立良好的STEM外展计划的基础上。瓦萨计划包括四个关键要素：在大三和大四期间为14个高成就的瓦萨STEM专业提供奖学金，并在毕业后的秋季完成学生教学;夏季科学教育和研究实习;与波基普西市和海德公园市的高需求地区合作开展专业前活动，纽约州;以及与教师教育卓越联盟合作，支持早期职业专业发展。 瓦萨STEM教师和当地K-12 STEM教育工作者正在指导诺伊斯学者。 该计划正在增加瓦萨STEM专业在高需求地区进入K-12 STEM教育的人数，提高这些地区STEM教育的质量，并培养K-12 STEM教育的领导者。这些新教师还激励来自服务不足群体的学生提高他们的教育愿望，包括大学水平的数学和科学学习。该计划的目的是作为一个模型，可以复制在主要的本科院校具有强大的STEM课程和高能力的学生在K-12教育的兴趣在服务不足的社区，谁通常毕业后离开直接区域在大都市地区的学校任教。

The Phase I Robert Noyce Teacher Education Scholarship Program at Vassar College is recruiting, preparing, and certifying 14 high-achieving STEM majors to become K-12 science and mathematics teachers in high-need schools. The program builds on Vassar's rigorous undergraduate STEM programs, a teacher education program that emphasizes leadership, and well-established STEM outreach programs with local high-need schools. The Vassar Program includes four critical elements: scholarships for 14 high-achieving Vassar STEM majors during their junior and senior years and for completion of student teaching the fall following graduation; summer science education and research internships; pre-professional activities in partnership with high-need districts in the City of Poughkeepsie and Hyde Park, NY; and, support for early career professional development in collaboration with the Consortium for Excellence in Teacher Education. Vassar STEM faculty members and local K-12 STEM educators are mentoring the Noyce Scholars. This program is increasing the number of Vassar STEM majors entering K-12 STEM education in high-need districts, improving the quality of STEM education in those districts, and producing leaders in K-12 STEM education. These new teachers also motivate students from under-served groups to raise their educational aspirations, including the college-level study of mathematics and science. The program is designed as a model that can be replicated at predominantly undergraduate institutions with strong STEM programs and high-ability students with an interest in K-12 education in under-served communities, who typically leave the immediate area after graduation to teach in schools in large metropolitan areas.
