Robert Noyce Mathematics Teacher Scholarship Program

德克萨斯州农工国际大学(TAMU)罗伯特·诺伊斯数学教师奖学金计划正在支持36人成为高素质的教师，致力于在德克萨斯州拉雷多地区的高需求高中教授数学。该项目正在加强文理学院数学教师和教育学院教师之间的合作，以确保准备充分的教师进入劳动力大军。为了支持这一努力，该项目正在增加一门综合课程，将数学内容和教学准备结合在一起，所有这些都基于最佳实践研究。通过专业发展研讨会、德克萨斯州数学教师委员会成员资格以及参加年度数学会议，学者们得到了支持。获得Noyce资助的学者是从已经在TAMU注册的学生和从拉雷多社区学院毕业的学生中招聘的，他们在数学方面成绩很好，并在TAMU继续接受高等教育。为了帮助招聘那些本来可能不会考虑从事教学工作的有才华的学生，他们会在自己选择的地方为一年级或二年级学生提供为期36个月的暑期实习机会。这些实践实习发生在拉雷多社区学院拉马尔·布鲁尼·维加拉环境科学中心或南得克萨斯州的想象馆。在这些非正式的环境中与学生一起进行数学项目的工作加强了参与者的职业选择。与TAMU合作的学区包括拉雷多独立学区和联合独立学区。为了帮助解决职业孤立感往往导致新聘教师缺乏留任感的问题，该项目在入职期间为学者提供面对面的支持和虚拟导师，其中包括一名教育教师和一名数学教师。

The Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) Robert Noyce Mathematics Teacher Scholarship Program is supporting thirty-six individuals in becoming highly-qualified teachers committed to teaching mathematics in high-need high schools in the Laredo, Texas area. The project is increasing the collaboration between mathematics faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences and faculty in the College of Education, to ensure well-prepared teachers enter the workforce. To support the effort, the project is adding an integrated course that combines mathematics content and teaching pedagogy preparation, all based on best practices research. Scholars are being supported through Professional Development workshops, membership in the Texas Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and travel to an annual mathematics conference. The scholars being awarded Noyce support are recruited both from students already enrolled at TAMIU and those graduating from Laredo Community College who are academically strong in mathematics and continuing their higher education at TAMIU. To aid in recruiting talented students who might otherwise not consider a teaching career, thirty-six, one-month-long summer internships are offered to freshmen or sophomores at the place of their choosing. These hands-on internships occur at the Laredo Community College Lamar Bruni Vergara Environmental Science Center or at the Imaginarium of South Texas. Working with students on mathematics project in these informal settings is reinforcing participants' career choices. The school districts partnering with TAMIU include the Laredo Independent School District and the United Independent School District. To help address the sense of professional isolation that too often leads to lack of retention in newly hired teachers, the project is supporting scholars during the induction period both with face-to-face and virtual mentor that includes both an education faculty and a mathematics faculty member.
