Supporting Science Teaching: The San Diego State University Noyce Scholars and Interns Program

从国家科学基金会的罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的资金，这个圣地亚哥州立大学（SDSU）诺伊斯奖学金轨道I项目将解决国家需要产生高质量的科学教学队伍。该项目将招募一批高成就和多样化的科学专业的教师，并将通过各种实践，以研究为基础的学习经验提供支持，以发展受助人的教学实践和科学内容知识，同时培养他们的教学热情。该项目将为七十四（74）实习和奖学金提供财政支持，并与SDSU现有的学术界学生促进中心（CASA）合作，特别注意招募来自不同背景的参与者，包括代表性不足的少数民族学生。该项目的结果不仅将提高科学劳动力的多样性，而且还将有助于更广泛地了解教师准备计划如何量身定制，以达到和准备代表性不足的学生成功的科学教学生涯。 该计划将提供四十（40）诺伊斯实习一年级和二年级的生物，化学，地质学和物理专业，谁将通过参加SDSU的夏令营从2-8年级的学生探索教学。营地将通过这笔赠款设立，并将由SDSU维持一旦赠款完成。选择实习生和其他科学专业将获得奖学金，成为诺伊斯学者在他们的教学证书年，并作为新教师放置在高需求的学校。该计划将通过这些奖学金产生至少34名新的高质量科学教师，调查人员将帮助将该计划的毕业生安置在高需求学校，然后在他们进入STEM教学专业时为他们提供重要和及时的支持。该项目将建立在SDSU的Noyce硕士教师研究员项目（NSF #1240127）的基础上，将该项目的Noyce学者安置在教师研究员项目的硕士教师教室中。这些经验丰富的教师研究员将担任新的教学学者的指导和导师。整个项目将被安置在SDSU的研究中心在数学和科学教育，研究和评估计划包括测量的诺伊斯实习提供早期机会，以促进教学作为一种职业和测量诺伊斯奖学金获得者作为教师的有效性的作用的方法。

With funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, this San Diego State University (SDSU) Noyce Scholarship Track I project will address the national need to produce a high quality teaching workforce in science. The project will recruit a select group of high-achieving and diverse science majors into teaching and will provide support through a variety of hands-on, research-based learning experiences to develop the recipients' teaching practices and science content knowledge, while nurturing their enthusiasm for teaching. The project will provide financial support for seventy-four (74) internships and scholarships, and work with SDSU's existing Center for the Advancement of Students in Academia (CASA) to give particular attention to recruiting participants from diverse backgrounds, including students from underrepresented minorities. Results from the project not only will enhance science workforce diversity, but will also contribute to a broader understanding of how teacher preparation programs can be tailored to reach and prepare underrepresented students for successful science teaching careers. The program will offer forty (40) Noyce Internships to first and second year biology, chemistry, geology, and physics majors, who will explore teaching through participating in SDSU's summer camp for students from grades 2-8. The camp will be set in place through this grant, and will be sustained by SDSU once the grant is completed. Select interns and other science majors will receive scholarships to become Noyce Scholars during their teaching credential year and as new teachers placed in high needs schools. The program will produce at least thirty-four (34) new high quality science teachers through these scholarships, and the investigators will help place graduates from the program in high needs schools and then provide them with important and timely support when they enter the STEM teaching profession. The project will build on SDSU's Noyce Master Teacher Fellows project (NSF #1240127) by placing the Noyce Scholars from this project in classrooms of master teachers from the Teacher Fellows program. These experienced Teacher Fellows will serve as guides and mentors for the new Teaching Scholars. The overall project will be housed in SDSU's Center for Research in Mathematics and Science Education, and the research and evaluation plans include methodologies for measuring the role of the Noyce Internships in providing early opportunities to promote teaching as a career and for measuring the effectiveness of the Noyce scholarship recipients as teachers.
