The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Lawson State Community College and Birmingham City Schools are partnering to greatly enhance the entry of science and math majors into careers in secondary education in high needs schools, introducing STEM majors to education opportunities during the formative stage of their college programs and providing support through a program of academic and practical experiences. Two models being tested are: 1) a multi-year program, engaging freshmen and providing scholarships for junior, senior and 5th year students and 2) a one-year program for students with a STEM undergraduate degree. Each program is enrolling 20 students as scholarship recipients, and leads to a Master degree. Students enter the program during their freshman year as facilitators in UAB?s Summer Science Institute for secondary students. There are 25 potential scholarship candidates facilitating these summer programs, from which the 40 scholarship recipients are chosen. During their initial 3 years of teaching, each Noyce graduate is assigned a Center for Community OutReach Development (CORD) STEM specialist to insure that they receive appropriate support by UAB faculty and mentor teachers. A Learning Resource Lab provides a place for teachers to come for guidance and support on an as-needed basis. The Intellectual Merit of Collaboration for Excellence in Science and Math Education (CESAME) includes the testing of the design, resources and performance of an innovative method to recruit promising STEM students to be transformative secondary STEM education leaders. The Broader Impacts are in the 40 excellent STEM teachers who plan to be teachers in underserved schools and a sustained platform to supply highly qualified STEM teachers.

在亚拉巴马大学伯明翰（UAB），劳森州立社区学院和伯明翰城市学校正在合作，大大提高科学和数学专业进入职业生涯中的中等教育在高需求的学校，介绍STEM专业的教育机会在他们的大学课程的形成阶段，并通过学术和实践经验的计划提供支持。正在测试的两个模型是：1）多年计划，吸引新生并为大三，大四和五年级学生提供奖学金，2）为拥有STEM本科学位的学生提供为期一年的计划。每个项目招收20名学生作为奖学金获得者，并导致硕士学位。学生在大学一年级时作为UAB的促进者进入该项目？为中学生开设的暑期科学学院。共有25名潜在奖学金候选人参与这些夏季项目，并从中选出40名奖学金获得者。在最初的3年教学期间，每个诺伊斯毕业生都被分配到社区拓展发展中心（CORD）STEM专家，以确保他们得到UAB教师和导师的适当支持。一个学习资源实验室提供了一个地方，教师来指导和支持根据需要的基础上。卓越科学和数学教育合作的智力价值（CEOTH）包括测试一种创新方法的设计，资源和性能，以招募有前途的STEM学生成为变革性的中学STEM教育领导者。更广泛的影响是40名优秀的STEM教师，他们计划在服务不足的学校任教，并提供一个持续的平台，以提供高素质的STEM教师。
