Duke University Noyce Scholarship - Phase II

杜克大学艺术教学硕士(MAT)计划与杜伦公立学校和三一文理学院的STEM系合作，建立了罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金计划第二阶段项目，在项目期间向30名杜克·诺伊斯学者提供津贴。该项目有四个目标：1)招聘和招收各种不同的高素质STEM毕业生和职业生涯中期专业人员；2)培养教师以提高学生在数学和科学方面的成绩；3)支持新教师在高需求学区任教；以及4)继续对项目进行纵向评估和分析，以确定在为高需求学区招聘、准备和留住高素质教师方面最有效的因素。该项目是2006年授予的第一阶段项目中完成的工作的延伸和延伸。特别是，它寻求增加教师保留率，并吸引更多代表不足的少数民族STEM专业人员和专业人员加入STEM教学。为实现这些目标，开展了一系列全面的活动。这个Noyce项目寻求与历史上享有盛誉的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)建立关系并从HBCU招聘。针对诺伊斯学者的为期一年的MAT计划包括教学课程、数学和科学学科的研究生课程，以及在达勒姆公立学校高中为期两个学期的实习。新教师在职业生涯的头三年得到了创新的、结构化的教师指导计划的支持，该计划包括职业生涯早期的诺伊斯大学毕业生、经验丰富的诺伊斯大学毕业生和教职员工。其他支助活动包括一年两次的诺伊斯学习会议活动和通过参加会议支持专业发展。该项目的更广泛影响包括增加高素质科学和数学教师的多样性，以及实施有效招聘、准备和留住STEM教师的模式。针对早期教师的系统指导计划鼓励更高的教师保留率，并提供了一种可适用于其他计划的模式。通过评估活动，该项目促进了对战略的理解，以制定和实施针对STEM专业和职业中期专业人员的有效MAT计划，并支持高需求学区的新教师。

The Duke University Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Program, in collaboration with the Durham Public Schools and the STEM departments in the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, establishes a Robert Noyce Scholarship Program Phase II Project to provide stipends to 30 Duke Noyce Scholars during the project period. This project has four goals: 1) Recruit and enroll diverse cohorts of highly-qualified STEM graduates and mid-career professionals; 2) Prepare teachers to improve student achievement in mathematics and the sciences; 3) Support new teachers during the first three years of their career as they teach in high-need school districts; and 4) Continue longitudinal evaluation and analysis of the project to determine those factors most effective in recruiting, preparing, and retaining highly-qualified teachers for high-need school districts. This project extends and expands work completed in a Phase I project awarded in 2006. In particular it seeks to increase teacher retention and to attract more underrepresented minority STEM majors and professionals into STEM teaching. A comprehensive set of activities is implemented to reach these goals. This Noyce project seeks to build relationships with and recruit from prestigious historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The one-year MAT Program for Noyce Scholars includes a curriculum of pedagogical coursework, graduate coursework in the Mathematics and Science disciplines, and two-semester internships in high schools of Durham Public Schools. New teachers in their first three years in the profession are supported by an innovative, structured teacher mentoring program that includes the early-career Duke Noyce graduates, experienced Duke Noyce graduates, and faculty. Other support activities include bi-annual Noyce Learning Conference events and support of professional development through conference participation. The broader impacts of this project include increasing the diversity of highly-qualified science and mathematics teachers and implementing a model to effectively recruit, prepare and retain STEM teachers. The systematic mentoring program for early-career teachers encourages higher teacher retention rates and provides a model that can be adapted at other programs. Through the evaluation activities, this project advances the understanding of strategies to develop and implement an effective MAT program for STEM majors and mid-career professionals and to support new teachers in high-need school districts.
