UK NOYCE: New Opportunities Yielding Classroom Excellence, Phase II

肯塔基大学创造卓越课堂的新机会 (UK-NOYCE) 数学和科学研究员计划第二阶段旨在通过教育学院、工程学院以及艺术与科学学院的共同努力，吸引三十 (30) 名额外的高年级学生和执业专业人员，特别是科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 领域代表性不足的人群（女性、少数民族和残疾学生），成为获得认证的中学数学和科学教师肯塔基大学和四个当地学区——费耶特县公立学校、斯科特县公立学校、杰萨明县公立学校和伍德福德县公立学校。 该项目涉及诺伊斯学者参加教育学硕士初始认证项目、为期 7 周的早期课堂体验以及暑期学院。 后者涉及第一阶段项目的 41 名诺伊斯学者，以及肯塔基州其他三个项目的诺伊斯获奖者。 该第二阶段项目的一个产品将是一本培训手册，供其他人复制 UK-Noyce 计划。 第二阶段的评估活动超出了对获奖者的跟踪要求，还包括该计划在吸引 STEM 专业学生参与教学方面的有效性指标、该计划对院系和机构的影响，以及通过课堂表现和对学生学习的影响来衡量的 NOYCE 学者的有效性。

The University of Kentucky New Opportunities Yielding Classroom Excellence (UK-NOYCE) Mathematics and Science Fellows Program Phase II is designed to attract thirty (30) additional senior class students and practicing professionals, especially in underrepresented populations (women, minorities, and students with disabilities) in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to become credentialed secondary mathematics and science teachers through a collaborative effort by the College of Education, College of Engineering, and College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Kentucky, and four local school districts--Fayette County Public Schools, Scott County Public Schools, Jessamine County Public Schools, and Woodford County Public Schools. The project involves Noyce scholars in a Masters of Arts in Education with Initial Certification program, an early classroom experience of 7-weeks duration, and a summer institute. The latter involves 41 Noyce scholars from the Phase I project, as well as Noyce recipients from three other projects in Kentucky. A product of this Phase II project will be a training manual for replication of the UK-Noyce program by others. The Phase II evaluation activities move beyond the required tracking of recipients to include indicators of the effectiveness of the program in attracting STEM majors to teaching, the impact of the program on departments and the institution, and the effectiveness of the NOYCE Scholars as measured by their performance in the classroom and their impact on student learning.
