There is an established need for well-qualified teachers in high-need school districts, which are often located in urban communities. New York City, in particular, has a need for teachers of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) who are competent with a diverse and international student population. Working to address this need with funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program, and in partnership with Bronx Community College (BCC), New York City (NYC) public schools within the New Visions network, and East Harlem community-based youth organizations, the The Hunter Noyce Science Scholar Program (HC-NSSP) Phase 2 will recruit individuals with strong STEM backgrounds and prepare them to become secondary science teachers. Building on a successful Phase 1 project, this Phase 2 project will support 15 new undergraduate STEM majors, each receiving 2 or 3 years of funding, plus 11 new STEM professionals (recent graduates), each receiving 1 year of funding. Thus, the project will produce 25 new biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics middle grades and high school teachers. The NYC middle and high schools in which Hunter College Noyce Scholars will teach serve thousands of students from underrepresented minority populations who live in high-poverty communities across the city.The HC-NSSP Phase 2 project will prepare and support Noyce Scholars to teach in high-need schools through professional learning communities for Noyce Scholars and Teachers, extensive and intensive clinical field experiences prior to student teaching, and a comprehensive induction program that will provide science teachers with coaches, faculty mentors, and "near peer" mentors (second year Noyce Teachers who will mentor first year Noyce Teachers). HC-NSSP Phase 2 research and evaluation studies will advance understanding of the distinguishing factors related to urban STEM teacher recruitment, retention, and career satisfaction by examining the contextual and attitudinal factors of Noyce Phase 1 and 2 teachers. The longitudinal study will investigate questions such as: What factors of the school environment, including the presence of teacher support and induction as reported by the teacher, are related to their decisions to continue teaching at high-need schools? How do these factors relate to any changes in school assignments or the decision to leave teaching? What was the nature of in-school support for novice, inservice Noyce teachers? Data to address these questions will come from such sources as surveys and interviews as well as instruments such as a self-efficacy to teach instrument.

高需求学区（通常位于城市社区）对合格教师的需求已确定。特别是纽约市，需要科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教师，他们能够胜任多样化和国际学生群体。通过国家科学基金会的罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的资助，并与布朗克斯社区学院（BCC）、新视野网络内的纽约市公立学校和东哈莱姆社区青年组织合作，努力满足这一需求，亨特·诺伊斯科学学者计划（HC-NSSP）第二阶段将招募具有强大STEM背景的个人，并为他们成为中学科学教师做好准备。在成功的第一阶段项目的基础上，第二阶段项目将支持15个新的本科STEM专业，每个专业获得2或3年的资助，加上11个新的STEM专业人员（应届毕业生），每个专业获得1年的资助。因此，该项目将培养25名新的生物、化学、地球科学和物理初中和高中教师。Hunter College Noyce Scholars将在纽约市的初中和高中任教，为数千名生活在城市高度贫困社区的少数民族学生提供服务。HC-NSSP第二阶段项目将通过Noyce Scholars和教师的专业学习社区，学生教学前广泛而深入的临床现场经验，以及一个全面的入门课程，将为科学教师提供教练，教师导师和“近同行”导师（第二年诺伊斯教师谁将指导第一年诺伊斯教师）。HC-NSSP第2阶段研究和评估研究将通过检查Noyce第1阶段和第2阶段教师的背景和态度因素，促进对与城市STEM教师招聘，保留和职业满意度相关的区别因素的理解。纵向研究将调查的问题，如：什么样的学校环境的因素，包括教师的支持和诱导的教师报告的存在，与他们的决定，继续在高需求的学校教学？这些因素与学校作业的任何变化或离开教学的决定有什么关系？对新入职的诺伊斯教师的校内支持的性质是什么？解决这些问题的数据将来自调查和访谈等来源，以及自我效能教学工具等工具。
