California State University, Dominguez Hills is offering $10,000 scholarships to 30 juniors and seniors majoring in biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics to become science-math teachers in high-need secondary schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Noyce scholarships are increasing the number of graduates from CSUDH's science-math credential program and offer financial incentives to attract students, a large percentage of whom are underrepresented minorities, into teaching because many low-income, first-generation college students face daunting economic barriers. While holding a job, they attempt a full course load in science-math, and many experience delays. Noyce scholarships ease their financial burden and enable them to complete their degrees without delays caused by financial hardship.CSUDH's Noyce Phase I was successful in reducing the time to earn a degree for students who entered as juniors, meeting recruitment goals, retaining all scholars in the program, and providing high-quality teachers to low-income schools. Thus, the Noyce Phase II project retains the project structure with enhancements, which include 1) more focus on recruiting chemistry and physics majors due to the need in LAUSD, 2) mentoring by Noyce Phase I graduates, Noyce Master Teaching Fellows and Noyce seniors, 3) more structured clinical experiences for scholars in science-math teaching in CSUDH's innovative lab school and 4) pre-recruitment of interested freshmen and sophomores through creative partnerships with community colleges.The Noyce project is operating in cohorts, led by advisors from the colleges of Education and Natural and Behavioral Sciences. Scholars are attending monthly cohort meetings in conjunction with a lab school for peer and faculty support, advising, mentoring, information, and exposure to teaching experts. Through the cohorts, scholars are linked to academic resources, financial aid or other assistance they need. Nearly all Noyce scholars transition into the Transition to Teaching (TTT) accelerated teaching program, enabling them to earn their credential in one year while holding a full-time teaching position as a university intern in a high-need LAUSD school. TTT also provides substantial support in cohorts, leading to high retention. The Noyce Phase II project leverages 1) the innovative, federally funded TTT, accelerated credential program, 2) the NSF Noyce Master Teacher Fellows program and 3) the state-funded undergraduate recruiting program for science-math teachers. In combination, the Noyce, TTT and TEACH grants are providing three years of financial support during the last two undergraduate years and one year of post-baccalaureate teacher training. The evaluation is examining the impact of the Noyce Scholarship program on: 1) Phase I Noyce scholars in terms of their performance as teachers, their completion of the teaching requirement and their retention in the teaching profession; 2) The effectiveness of Phase II Noyce scholars as measured by their performance in the classroom; 3) The effectiveness of Phase II Noyce scholars as measured by their impact on student learning; and 4) Departments and the institution.

位于多明格斯山的加州州立大学为30名生物、化学、数学或物理专业的大三和大四学生提供1万美元的奖学金，让他们成为洛杉矶联合学区高需求中学的科学数学教师。诺伊斯奖学金正在增加CSUDH科学数学证书计划的毕业生人数，并提供经济激励措施，以吸引学生，其中很大一部分是代表性不足的少数民族，进入教学，因为许多低收入，第一代大学生面临着令人生畏的经济障碍。 在工作的同时，他们会尝试学习完整的科学数学课程，许多人会遇到延误。 诺伊斯奖学金减轻了他们的经济负担，使他们能够完成学位，而不会因经济困难而延误。CSUDH的诺伊斯第一阶段成功地减少了大三学生获得学位的时间，达到了招聘目标，留住了所有的学者，并为低收入学校提供了高质量的教师。 因此，Noyce第二阶段项目保留了项目结构并进行了改进，其中包括1）由于LAUSD的需要，更多地关注招聘化学和物理专业的学生，2）由Noyce第一阶段毕业生，Noyce硕士教学研究员和Noyce高年级学生指导，3）在CSUDH的创新实验室学校的科学数学教学的学者更结构化的临床经验，4）预通过与社区学院的创造性伙伴关系招募感兴趣的新生和大学生。Noyce项目正在由教育学院和自然与行为科学学院的顾问领导的队列中运作。学者们参加每月的队列会议与实验室学校同行和教师的支持，建议，指导，信息和接触教学专家。 通过这些群体，学者可以获得学术资源、财政援助或他们所需的其他援助。 几乎所有诺伊斯学者过渡到教学（TTT）加速教学计划，使他们能够在一年内获得证书，同时在高需求的LAUSD学校担任全职教学职位。 TTT还在队列中提供大量支持，导致高保留率。 Noyce第二阶段项目利用1）联邦资助的创新TTT加速证书计划，2）NSF Noyce硕士教师研究员计划和3）国家资助的科学数学教师本科招聘计划。 结合起来，诺伊斯，TTT和TEACH赠款提供了三年的财政支持，在最后两个本科年和一年的学士后教师培训。 评估正在审查诺伊斯奖学金计划对以下方面的影响：1）第一阶段诺伊斯学者在教师绩效、完成教学要求和保留教师职业方面的影响; 2）第二阶段诺伊斯学者的有效性，以他们在课堂上的表现衡量; 3）第二阶段诺伊斯学者的有效性，以他们对学生学习的影响衡量; 4）第三阶段诺伊斯学者的有效性，以他们对学生学习的影响衡量。（4）部门和机构。
