The Noyce Scholars and Interns Program at the University of Portland is a comprehensive partnership between the University's College of Arts and Sciences, the Shiley School of Engineering, the School of Education, the Moreau Center for Service and Leadership, Saturday Academy, and Portland Public Schools. The program is increasing the number of highly-trained K-12 STEM teachers graduating from the MAT program at the University who teach in high-needs schools. Noyce Interns are working as teaching assistants in Saturday Academy classes for students in grades 2-12. Noyce Scholars are STEM majors, at least 25% of whom are mathematics, engineering, and computer science majors, and career-changing STEM professionals who are being trained to be reflective teachers dedicated to social justice through education. Noyce Scholars are serving two years as teachers in high-needs schools for each year of scholarship. The project has 8 MAT scholars, 16 Noyce scholars and also supports 24 summer interns. Through assessment, the program is helping STEM and Education faculty determine effective strategies and practices for recruiting and supporting STEM majors and STEM professionals who work to become K-12 teachers. The principal investigator (PI) and Co-PIs are presenting the development and implementation of the program, as well as lessons learned, at national and regional STEM and STEM education conferences in order to help peer institutions set up similar programs. The project is addressing a critical need for highly-trained STEM educators in the Portland Public School system, strengthening ties between divisions of the University of Portland and Portland Public Schools, and bolstering the STEM teaching community in the Pacific Northwest.

波特兰大学诺伊斯学者和实习生项目是波特兰大学文理学院、希利工程学院、教育学院、莫罗服务和领导中心、星期六学院和波特兰公立学校之间的全面合作伙伴关系。该计划正在增加从大学MAT计划毕业的训练有素的K-12 STEM教师的数量，他们在高需求学校任教。诺伊斯实习生在周六学院为2-12年级的学生提供助教服务。诺伊斯学者是STEM专业的学生，其中至少25%是数学、工程和计算机科学专业的学生，以及正在改变职业生涯的STEM专业人员，他们正在接受培训，成为通过教育致力于社会正义的反思型教师。诺伊斯学者每获得一年奖学金，就会在高需求学校担任两年教师。该项目有8名MAT学者，16名诺伊斯学者，并为24名暑期实习生提供支持。通过评估，该计划正在帮助STEM和教育教职员工确定有效的战略和做法，以招聘和支持STEM专业和STEM专业人员成为K-12教师。首席调查员(PI)和联合调查员在国家和地区STEM和STEM教育会议上介绍了该计划的发展和实施情况，以及吸取的经验教训，以帮助同行机构建立类似的计划。该项目正在解决波特兰公立学校系统对训练有素的STEM教育者的迫切需求，加强波特兰大学和波特兰公立学校各部门之间的联系，并加强太平洋西北部的STEM教学社区。
