Phase 1: URI Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program

罗得岛大学罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划正在招募本科STEM专业和STEM专业的职业转换者，否则他们可能不会考虑在K-12教学和支持他们通过他们的诱导年的职业生涯。具体而言，该项目支持20个本科STEM专业和5个STEM专业超过5年。这些学者正在准备教小学，初中和高中学生在高需求的学区。此外，50名大一和大一学生将在STEM教育领域获得带薪暑期实习机会。该项目与五个罗得岛学区以及非营利组织合作。该项目以两种方式扩展STEM教师教育，两者都具有变革性的智力价值。首先，使用基于国家K-12科学评估结果的模型，正在选择多样化和高效的实地安置地点。其次，正在实施有目的的持续指导模式，以培训合作教师作为学生教学过程中诺伊斯学者的导师。这种模式也正在实施，以支持诺伊斯学者作为新教师在他们的第一个3年的教学。该项目的评估方面将解决影响STEM专业学生和STEM专业人士进入K-12教学的因素，影响他们在城市学校工作的兴趣的因素，以及成功实习的因素。除了为罗得岛的高需求学区提供准备充分的STEM教师外，该项目的更广泛的影响中心推进发现和理解成功的招聘和教师培训在K-12数学和科学。已制定计划，通过介绍和出版物分享重要的调查结果。该项目还对罗得岛的劳动力发展产生了影响，罗德岛面临着重大的经济转型，K-12水平的STEM培训和STEM教学可能会在未来发挥重要作用。

The University of Rhode Island Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program is recruiting undergraduate STEM majors and STEM professional career changers who might otherwise not have considered a career in K-12 teaching and supporting them through their induction years. Specifically, this project supports 20 undergraduate STEM majors and 5 STEM professionals over 5 years. These scholars are being prepared to teach elementary, middle, and high school students in high-need school districts. In addition, 50 freshman and sophomores will be afforded paid summer internships in STEM education areas. This project collaborates with five Rhode Island school districts as well as non-profit organizations. This project extends STEM teacher education in two ways, both having transformative intellectual merit. First, using a model based on the results of state K-12 science assessments, diverse and highly effective field placement sites are being selected. Secondly, the Purposeful Ongoing Mentoring Model is being implemented to train cooperating teachers as mentors for Noyce Scholars during student teaching. This model is also being implemented to support Noyce Scholars as new teachers during their first 3 years of teaching. Evaluative aspects of this project will address the factors influencing STEM majors and STEM professionals to enter K-12 teaching, factors influencing their interest in working in urban schools, and factors leading to successful internships.Besides providing well-prepared STEM teachers for high-need school districts in Rhode Island, the broader impacts of this project center on advancing discovery and understanding of successful recruitment and teacher training in K-12 mathematics and science. Plans are in place for sharing significant findings via presentations and publications. This project also has implications for workforce development in Rhode Island, a state facing a significant economic transition and one in which STEM training and STEM teaching at the K-12 level are likely to play a significant future role.
