Robert Noyce Scholarship Program - Phase II

在加州理工学院科学创新项目第一阶段的基础上，这个第二阶段的项目将培养20名新的STEM教师（在第一阶段培养33名教师的基础上），同时跟踪和分析第一批创新学者的进展。合作学区包括：圣玛丽亚-博尼塔学区、圣玛丽亚联合高中学区和露西亚玛学区。智力优势：第二阶段Noyce学者将受益于a)通过STEM教师和研究员（STAR）计划在其任职前几年获得所需的研究经验，这些经验可以纳入并丰富他们的证书课程和临床领域经验，以及b)在培训期间与第一阶段Noyce校友的互动和指导以及在高需求学校的早期教学中通过面对面会议和在线互动。诺伊斯校友受益于年度夏季专业发展研讨会，该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，支持将先前研究经验的科学和工程实践应用到课堂教学中。更广泛的影响：除了该项目培养的教师给该地区和其他高需求学校带来的好处外，该项目的评估还有助于提供证据，支持其他学校采用该项目发现的有效的STEM教师教育和专业发展实践。对第一阶段Noyce STAR校友的纵向研究为这些教师研究人员的职业轨迹、教学方法和有效性提供了有价值的见解，即本科生研究经历、指导和专业发展的影响。

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.
