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

该加州州立大学，东湾（CSUEB）诺伊斯学者计划第二阶段（NSP II）是建立和扩大第一阶段的努力，以招募和支持学术上成功的高级数学和科学专业和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和康特拉科斯塔县的K-12地区合作，支持32名新的数学和科学教师（2年级16个奖学金，3年级16个奖学金），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）了解如何最好地吸引，准备，并提供持续的支持，以保持高效的干教师通过扩大评估方案的努力和参与学者的有效性。 NSP II的重要意义在于其重点是尽早招聘在学科领域具有高素质的教师候选人。包括阿拉米达县和康特拉科斯塔县在内的东湾地区支持种族和民族多样化的人口。STEM专业人员需求量很大，但拥有科学和数学能力的劳动力严重短缺。该地区未来的经济健康越来越依赖于教育系统，该系统能够培养教师，成功应对需要科学和数学密集和有效教育课程的学生的需求。诺伊斯学者为学生提供工具，使他们能够代表性不足的群体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.
