CSUB Robert Noyce Teaching Fellowship

加州州立大学贝克斯菲尔德分校(CSUB)的罗伯特·诺伊斯教学奖学金项目旨在满足传统学士学位课程与加州对教师的学科要求(需要更多的科学知识准备)之间的错位而产生的迫切需求。为了解决这个问题，科学教育硕士学位内的证书跟踪已经被开发出来。它为拥有现有科学学位的个人提供科学广度、教育学和证书课程，并代表了一种招聘和培训科学教师的新方法，方法是专门针对那些不是最初职业选择的个人加强准备。智力优势：该计划的四个主要方面正在研究中：招聘、保留、准备和教师质量。通过将诺伊斯研究员的特点与传统证书计划中准备的科学教师进行比较，对有效性进行了评估。由于该计划可能在加州和全国范围内成为旨在通过吸引来自非教学背景的个人并与传统和现有的替代证书途径相比增加科学教师队伍的计划的典范，因此实现了更广泛的影响。加州大学贝克斯菲尔德分校的诺伊斯奖学金计划在两个队列中为十名教学研究员提供服务，影响了大约5,400名学生。

The Robert Noyce Teaching Fellowship project at California State University-Bakersfield (CSUB) is designed to address a pressing need evolving from the misalignment of traditional baccalaureate programs and California's subject matter requirements (requiring more science breadth preparation) for teachers. A credential track within an MS in Science Education has been developed to address this problem. It provides science breadth, pedagogy and credential coursework for individuals with existing science degrees and represents a novel approach to recruiting and training science teachers by targeting enhanced preparation specifically towards individuals for whom teaching was not an initial career choice.Intellectual Merit: Four main aspects of the program are being studied: Recruitment, Retention, Preparation and Teacher Quality. An evaluation of effectiveness is undertaken by comparing characteristics of the Noyce Fellows with science teachers prepared in traditional credential programs.Broader Impacts are realized as the program can potentially serve as a model in California and nationwide for programs aiming to increase the pool of science teachers by attracting individuals from non-teaching backgrounds and enhancing the science breadth and pedagogy preparation of these individuals compared to both traditional and existing alternative routes to the credential. The Noyce Fellowship program at CSU Bakersfield is serving ten Teaching Fellows in two cohorts, impacting approximately 5,400 students.
