Robert Noyce Scholarship Program - Phase II

在加州大学保利科学诺伊斯计划第一阶段发展的基础上，该第二阶段项目正在培养20名新的STEM教师(在第一阶段产生的33名教师的基础上)，同时跟踪和分析第一批诺伊斯学者的进展。合作校区包括：圣玛丽亚-博尼塔学区、圣玛丽亚联合高中学区和露西亚·玛尔学区。智力优势：第二阶段诺伊斯学者受益于a)在任职前几年通过STEM教师和研究人员(STAR)计划获得的必要研究经验，这些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期间和在高需求学校任教的早期几年与他们进行互动并进行指导。诺伊斯校友正受益于一年一度的暑期专业发展研讨会，这些研讨会旨在通过建模、基于项目的学习和其他经过验证的策略，支持通过课堂教学的先前研究经验实施科学和工程实践。更广泛的影响：除了该项目产生的教师对地区和其他高中需求学校的好处外，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发现有效的STEM教师教育和专业发展实践。对第一阶段诺伊斯明星校友的纵向研究为本科研究经验、指导和专业发展对这些教师-研究人员的职业轨迹、教学方法和有效性的影响提供了有价值的见解。

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.
