UK NOYCE: New Opportunities Yielding Classroom Excellence, Phase II

肯塔基大学数学和科学研究员计划第二阶段旨在吸引30名额外的高年级学生和实践专业人士，特别是那些在科学、技术、工程、科学等领域未被充分代表的群体（女性、少数民族和残疾学生）。通过肯塔基大学教育学院、工程学院、艺术与科学学院以及四个当地学区——费耶特县公立学校、斯科特县公立学校、Jessamine县公立学校和伍德福德县公立学校的合作，成为有资格的中学数学和科学教师。该项目包括Noyce学者的教育艺术硕士初步认证项目，为期7周的早期课堂体验，以及一个暑期学院。后者包括来自第一阶段项目的41名Noyce学者，以及来自肯塔基州其他三个项目的Noyce获得者。第二阶段项目的一个产品将是一份培训手册，供其他人复制UK-Noyce计划。第二阶段的评估活动超越了对接受者的必要跟踪，包括项目在吸引STEM专业学生教学方面的有效性指标，项目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.
