California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) Noyce Scholars Program Phase II

加州州立大学东湾分校 (CSUEB) 诺伊斯学者计划第二阶段 (NSP II) 正在建立和扩展第一阶段的努力，以招募和支持学术上取得成功的数学和科学专业高年级学生以及 STEM 专业人士完成证书课程，并成为高需求城市学校的高效教师。 这个为期四年的联合项目与阿拉米达县和康特拉科斯塔县的 K-12 学区合作，支持 32 名新的数学和科学教师（第二年 16 名奖学金，第三年 16 名），重点关注两个领域：1）继续增加在 CSUEB 获得证书的初中和高中数学和科学教师的数量，2）让人们了解如何最好地吸引、准备和提供持续支持，以便通过扩大项目评估来留住高效的 STEM 教师以及参与学者的努力和成效。 NSP II 的重要意义在于它注重早期招聘在学科领域具有高素质的教师候选人。东湾区包括阿拉米达县和康特拉科斯塔县，拥有多元化的民族和种族人口。 STEM 专业人员的需求量很大，但拥有科学和数学能力的劳动力却严重短缺。该地区未来的经济健康越来越依赖于一个能够让教师做好准备，成功满足学生需要强化和有效的科学和数学教育课程的需求的教育体系。 诺伊斯学者为他们的学生提供了工具，使代表性不足的群体能够在劳动力中具有竞争力。

The California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) Noyce Scholars Program Phase II (NSP II) is building on and expanding Phase I efforts to recruit and support academically successful senior mathematics and science majors and STEM professionals in completing a credential program and becoming highly effective teachers in high needs, urban schools. This four-year joint project, in collaboration with K-12 districts across Alameda and Contra Costa counties, supports 32 new math and science teachers (16 scholarships in year 2 and 16 in year 3) and focuses on two areas: 1) continuing to increase the number of middle and high school math and science teachers obtaining their credentials at CSUEB and 2) informing understanding of how best to attract, prepare, and provide ongoing support in order to retain highly effective STEM teachers by expanded evaluation of program efforts and the effectiveness of participating scholars. The NSP II is significant in its focus on the early recruitment of teacher candidates who are highly qualified in disciplinary areas. The East Bay Area, which includes Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, supports an ethnically and racially diverse population. STEM professionals are in high demand but there are significant shortages in the workforce of those possessing competence in science and math. The future economic health of the region depends increasingly on an educational system capable of preparing teachers to respond successfully to the needs of students who require intensive and effective educational programs in science and math. The Noyce scholars furnish the tools to their students that enable underrepresented groups to be competitive in the workforce.
