Robert Noyce Mathematics Teacher Scholarship Program

德克萨斯农工国际大学（TAMIU）罗伯特·诺伊斯数学教师奖学金项目正在支持36名个人成为致力于在德克萨斯州拉雷多地区高需求高中教授数学的高素质教师。该项目增加了文理学院数学教师与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市场。为了支持这一努力，该项目正在增加一门综合课程，将数学内容和教学法准备结合起来，所有这些都基于最佳实践研究。学者们通过专业发展研讨会、德州数学教师委员会的会员资格和参加年度数学会议的旅行得到支持。获得Noyce资助的学者既包括已经在TAMIU入学的学生，也包括从拉雷多社区学院毕业的数学成绩优异并在TAMIU继续接受高等教育的学生。为了帮助那些可能不考虑从事教学工作的优秀学生，学校为大一或大二学生提供了36个月的暑期实习机会，他们可以选择自己选择的地方。这些实践实习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德克萨斯州的Imaginarium进行。在这些非正式的环境中与学生一起做数学项目，加强了参与者的职业选择。与TAMIU合作的学区包括拉雷多独立学区和联合独立学区。为了帮助解决经常导致新聘教师缺乏留任的专业孤立感，该项目在入职期间为学者提供面对面和虚拟导师的支持，其中包括一名教育教员和一名数学教员。

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.
