University of Maryland Noyce Scholars Program for Science Teachers

为了满足乔治王子郡公立学校对高素质科学教师的迫切需求，马里兰大学正在招聘和培训化学、物理、生物和工程专业的学生，以获得中学或中学教学认证。有两种途径为这些学生提供了测试他们教学兴趣的机会：中学辅导和担任大学理科入门课程的助教(本科助教)。还提供在华盛顿地区的科学机构或科学教育研究方面的暑期实习机会。然后，利用这些机会的学生有资格在他们的初级和高级学习年度申请奖学金支持。因此，总共产生了22至25名新教师。教师教育方案也同样通过这个项目得到加强。诺伊斯学者参加了一个补充研讨会，向他们介绍在高需求学校成功教学的策略；他们每年参加科学教育会议或研讨会；他们有机会在教授英语学习者方面进一步专业发展。新教师毕业后，继续通过定期会议、指导和与经验丰富的大师教师的辅导访问，在他们最初几年的教学工作中得到支持。

To meet the acute need for highly qualified science teachers in the Prince George's County Public Schools, the University of Maryland is recruiting and training students majoring in chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering to earn secondary or middle-school teaching certification. Two avenues offer such students opportunities to test their interest in teaching: tutoring in middle school and serving as Learning Assistants (undergraduate teaching assistants) for introductory university science courses. Opportunities for summer internships in Washington-area science agencies or in research on science education are also available. Students availing themselves of these opportunities are then eligible to apply for scholarship support in their junior and senior years of study. A total of between 22 and 25 new teachers are thereby produced. The teacher education program is likewise enhanced through this project. Noyce Scholars take a supplementary seminar introducing them to strategies for successful teaching in high-need schools; they are supported in attending science education conferences or workshops each year; and they have the opportunity for further professional development in teaching English-language learners. Once they have graduated, new teachers continue to be supported in their early years of teaching through regular meetings, mentoring, and coaching visits with an experienced master teacher.
