Robert Noyce Scholarship Program - Phase II

在Cal Poly Science Noyce Program第一阶段开发的见解的基础上，该第二阶段项目正在培养20名新的STEM教师（添加到第一阶段产生的33名教师中），同时跟踪和分析第一批Noyce学者的进展。合作学区包括：Santa Maria-Bonita学区、圣玛利亚联合高中学区和Lucia Mar学区。第二阶段诺伊斯学者受益a）通过STEM教师和研究员（星星）计划在他们的服务前几年所需的研究经验，可以纳入并丰富他们的证书课程和临床现场经验，以及B）通过面对面的会议和在线互动，在第一阶段诺伊斯校友的培训和早年在高需求学校的教学期间与他们进行互动和指导。诺伊斯校友正在受益于每年夏季专业发展研讨会，旨在支持通过建模，基于项目的学习和其他行之有效的策略，通过先前的研究到他们的课堂教学中经验的科学和工程实践的实施。更广泛的影响：除了该项目产生的教师对地区和其他高需求学校的好处外，对该项目的评估还有助于提供证据，支持其他人采用该项目有效的STEM教师教育和专业发展实践。第一阶段诺伊斯星星校友的纵向研究提供了有价值的见解本科研究经验，指导和职业发展对职业轨迹，教学方法和这些教师的有效性的影响研究。

Building on insights developed during Phase I of the Cal Poly Science Noyce Program, this Phase II Project is producing twenty new STEM teachers (to add to the thirty-three produced in Phase I) while tracking and analyzing the progress of the first cohort of Noyce Scholars. Cooperating school districts include: Santa Maria-Bonita School District, Santa Maria Joint Union High School District, and Lucia Mar School District.Intellectual Merit: Phase II Noyce Scholars are benefiting a) from a required research experience through the STEM Teacher and Researcher (STAR) Program during their pre-service years that can be incorporated into and enrich their credential coursework and clinical field experience, and b) from interactions with and mentoring from Phase I Noyce alumni during their training and early years of teaching in high need schools via face-to-face meetings and online interactions. Noyce alumni are benefiting from annual summer professional development workshops designed to support implementation of scientific and engineering practices experienced through prior research into their classroom teaching through modeling, project-based learning, and other proven strategies. Broader Impacts: In addition to the benefits to area and other high needs schools due to the teachers produced by this project, the evaluation of the project is helping to provide evidence to support the adoption by others of the STEM teacher education and professional development practices found to be effective by this program. Longitudinal studies of the Phase I Noyce STAR alumni is providing valuable insights into the effects of undergraduate research experiences, mentoring, and professional development on the career trajectories, teaching approaches, and effectiveness of these teacher-researchers.
