Abstract 1239928, Catawba College, PI Rogers-LoweryThe Catawba College Noyce Scholars project brings together Catawba College with Rowan-Cabarrus Community College and the Rowan-Salisbury Schools to focus on the recruitment, preparation, and retention of STEM majors in teaching careers by blending academic preparation, professional community-building, and field experiences. To achieve these goals, the Catawba College Noyce Scholarship project has three phases: Exploratory Internships, Scholarships, and Collegial Support Networks. The Exploratory Internship component provides paid internships for up to 60 freshmen and sophomore students pursuing STEM majors at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College to experience teaching and recruit them to pursue a career in K-12 education. The project supports eighteen STEM majors with $18,000 scholarships in their junior and senior years of college to pursue a major in a STEM discipline and licensure in teaching at Catawba College. The program prepares STEM educators in a broad range of disciplines (biology, chemistry, environmental science, or mathematics) that are capable of teaching at a variety of grade levels by offering rigorous coursework in STEM disciplines and teacher preparation, enriched by opportunities that build social and cultural capital in the sciences and education. To supplement course work, the Scholars complete mentored experiences within the local school system, Rowan-Salisbury Schools, and in research laboratories to gain understanding of both STEM and education fields.In addition, Noyce Scholars engage in activities that build social and cultural capital in the profession of education, providing a support network for retention and success during their training and careers in teaching. These activities include a cohort-building retreat and a Mentoring Program, where Scholars engage in field experiences in the classroom of a highly-effective teacher in Rowan-Salisbury Schools (RSS), the local public school system, to familiarize the Scholar with culture of public education. The Mentoring programming has the added benefit of developing a social network that supports the Scholars during their induction years. Following graduation, Scholars are required to work for four years in a high-need school district as a condition of receiving the scholarship. To support the Scholars during their induction into teaching, continued mentoring and financial support are provided. As classroom teachers, Noyce Scholars receive funds to attend a state STEM education conference and to purchase classroom supplies.

摘要1239928，卡托巴学院，PI罗杰斯-洛维卡托巴学院诺伊斯学者项目汇集卡托巴学院与罗恩-卡巴鲁斯社区学院和罗恩-索尔兹伯里学校，专注于招聘，准备和保留STEM专业的教学生涯，通过融合学术准备，专业社区建设和实地经验。为了实现这些目标，卡托巴学院诺伊斯奖学金项目有三个阶段：探索性实习，奖学金和学院支持网络。 探索性实习部分为在Rowan-Cabarrus社区学院攻读STEM专业的60名大一和大二学生提供带薪实习，体验教学并招募他们从事K-12教育。该项目支持18个STEM专业，在大学的大三和大四阶段获得18，000美元的奖学金，以在卡托巴学院攻读STEM学科和教学许可证。该计划准备干教育工作者在广泛的学科（生物学，化学，环境科学或数学），能够通过提供严格的课程在干学科和教师的准备，丰富的机会，建立社会和文化资本在科学和教育的各种年级水平的教学。作为课程的补充，诺伊斯学者将在当地学校系统、罗文-索尔兹伯里学校（Rowan-Salisbury Schools）和研究实验室完成导师指导，以了解STEM和教育领域。此外，诺伊斯学者还参与在教育行业建立社会和文化资本的活动，为他们在培训和教学职业生涯中的保留和成功提供支持网络。这些活动包括一个队列建设务虚会和一个导师计划，学者们在当地公立学校系统Rowan-Salisbury Schools（RSS）的高效教师的课堂上进行实地体验，以使学者熟悉公共教育文化。导师计划的额外好处是开发了一个社交网络，在学生入职期间为他们提供支持。毕业后，学者必须在高需求学区工作四年，作为获得奖学金的条件。为了支持学者在他们的入门教学，提供持续的辅导和财政支持。 作为课堂教师，诺伊斯学者获得资金参加国家STEM教育会议和购买课堂用品。
