UK NOYCE: New Opportunities Yielding Classroom Excellence, Phase II

肯塔基州大学带来卓越课堂的新机遇（UK-NOYCE）数学和科学研究员计划第二阶段旨在吸引三十（30）名额外的高年级学生和执业专业人士，特别是在代表性不足的人群中（妇女、少数民族和残疾学生）在科学、技术、工程、通过肯塔基州大学教育学院、工程学院和艺术与科学学院的合作，以及四个当地学区--费耶特县公立学校、斯科特县公立学校、卡拉曼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在艺术教育硕士与初始认证计划，7周持续时间的早期课堂经验，和暑期学院。 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。 第二阶段项目的一个产品将是一本培训手册，供其他人复制英国-诺伊斯方案。 第二阶段的评估活动超越了所需的收件人跟踪，包括该计划在吸引STEM专业的教学效果指标，该计划对部门和机构的影响，以及NOYCE学者的有效性，通过他们在课堂上的表现和他们对学生学习的影响来衡量。

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.
