Noyce Scholarship Track Phase I: UTeaChattanooga Noyce Scholarship Program (UNSP)

查塔努加大学(UTC)文理学院、卫生、教育和专业研究学院、汉密尔顿县学校和其他四个地区学校系统正在合作，培养更多和更高质量的中学数学和科学教师。具体来说，诺伊斯奖学金计划向UTeaChattanooga项目的15名低年级和高级STEM专业的学生提供最多30个两年期奖学金，这些学生承诺在高需求学区完成四年的高中教学，并为一年级和二年级的STEM专业学生提供最多80个实习机会。UTeaChattanooga Noyce奖学金计划的目标是：(1)吸引高素质的STEM专业的学生到高需求学校的中学科学和数学教学生涯；(2)鼓励STEM学科中传统上代表性较低的群体主修STEM领域，并寻求数学和科学中等教师资格；(3)为寻求中学教师资格证书的STEM专业学生提供丰富的教学和教学/研究经验；(4)增加中学数学和科学中等教育人员的数量，(5)改善这些教育人员的数学和科学准备，(6)为查塔努加大学诺伊斯奖学金项目学者(UNSPSS)在教学的头两年提供全面的上岗支持，特别强调高需求学校及其学生面临的独特挑战。UNSP计划提供六个强化暑期实习的选择，以加强学者的内容和研究知识，并在五年资助期内为多达110名UTeaChattanooga学生提供丰富的教学经验。UNSP计划通过其研究和教学机会以及与UTC教员、能源部国家实验室、田纳西水族馆和UTC向上绑定计划的伙伴关系，加强研究和教育的基础设施。

The University of Chattanooga's (UTC) College of Arts and Science, College of Health, Education and Professional Studies, Hamilton County schools and four other area school systems are collaborating to produce more and better quality secondary mathematics and science teachers. Specifically, the Noyce Scholarship Program is providing up to 30 two-year scholarships to 15 junior and senior STEM majors in the UTeaChattanooga program at UTC who commit to completing four years of teaching at the high school level in high-needs school districts and up to 80 internships for Freshman and Sophomore STEM majors. The goals of the UTeaChattanooga Noyce Scholarship Program are: (1) to attract highly qualified STEM majors to secondary science and mathematics teaching careers in high-needs schools; (2) to encourage traditionally underrepresented groups in the STEM disciplines to major in STEM fields and seek secondary teacher licensure in mathematics and science; (3) to provide pedagogically and content/research rich experiences to STEM majors seeking secondary teaching licensure; (4) to increase the number of secondary math and science secondary educators, (5) to improve the mathematical and scientific preparation of these educators and (6) to provide comprehensive induction support for UTeaChattanooga Noyce Scholarship Program Scholars (UNSPSs) during their first two years of teaching, with special emphasis on the unique challenges of high-needs schools and their students. The UNSP program provides a choice of six intensive summer internships that strengthen the Scholars' content and research knowledge and provide pedagogically rich experiences for up to 110 UTeaChattanooga students across the five-year grant period. The UNSP initiative is enhancing the infrastructure for research and education through its research and pedagogical opportunities and partnerships with UTC faculty, Department of Energy National Laboratories, the Tennessee Aquarium and UTC's Upward Bound program.
