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

查塔努加大学（UTC）文理学院、健康、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、更优质的中学数学和科学教师。具体而言，Noyce奖学金计划将为UTC UTeaChattanooga项目的15名初中和高中STEM专业学生提供多达30个为期两年的奖学金，这些学生承诺在高需求学区完成四年的高中教学，并为大一和大二STEM专业学生提供多达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专业学生到高需求学校从事中学科学和数学教学工作；(2)鼓励传统上代表性不足的STEM学科群体主修STEM领域，并寻求数学和科学的中学教师执照；(3)为申请二级教学执照的STEM专业学生提供丰富的教学和内容/研究经验；(4)增加中学数学和科学教育工作者的数量，(5)提高这些教育工作者的数学和科学准备，(6)在UTeaChattanooga Noyce奖学金计划学者（UNSPSs）的头两年教学期间为他们提供全面的归纳支持，特别强调高需求学校及其学生的独特挑战。在为期五年的资助期内，UNSP项目提供了六个密集的暑期实习机会，以加强学者的内容和研究知识，并为多达110名犹他大学塔努加分校的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联合技术大学教师、能源部国家实验室、田纳西水族馆和联合技术大学向上发展计划的合作伙伴关系，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.
