Results from state testing indicate a critical need for improved learning and teaching in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) for all students, particularly those in underserved populations. With funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program, the University of Vermont Robert Noyce Scholarship Program will recruit STEM professionals and prepare them to become secondary STEM teachers. The project will fund 25 scholarships over 5 years. The teacher preparation program will be delivered through a collaboration between highly effective and nationally recognized STEM and education programs at the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College (UVM): the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in Secondary Education Program in the College of Education & Social Services, the College of Arts & Sciences, and the College of Engineering & Mathematical Sciences, in partnership with regional high-need high schools Montpelier High School, Mount Abraham High School, Vergennes High School, and Union-32 High School. The project will capitalize on the UVM MAT cohort model, which includes year-long school-based internships. Noyce Scholars will also participate in monthly seminars and visit community-based centers. Prior Noyce Scholars will present at an orientation to emphasize the importance of research and discovery in mathematics and science and ways to model these practices in their own teaching. UVM Noyce Scholars will also collaborate with engineering students to create service learning projects for high school students.The project will promote full integration of the Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core State Standards in Mathematics with an emphasis on the application of scientific, mathematical, and engineering thinking and practices. A longitudinal research study will investigate the impact of the program on recipients as teachers and teacher leaders and their retention in the teaching profession, as well as the impact of the project on STEM and education faculty and programs at UVM. To this end, in addition to conducting classroom observations, the project team will collect data using instruments such as the Professional Attitudes and Dispositions Assessment (PADA), the Standards Assessment Inventory (SAI2), the New England Common Assessments (NECAP), and a pre-/post-survey of Opportunity to Learn (OTL) drawn from an existing MSP survey. Through programmatic activities and the research agenda, the project will develop, improve, and maintain a pipeline to recruit and prepare STEM teachers for underserved schools.

国家测试的结果表明，迫切需要改善所有学生，特别是那些服务不足的人群的科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)的学习和教学。在国家科学基金会罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的资助下，佛蒙特州大学罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金计划将招聘STEM专业人员，并为他们成为中学STEM教师做好准备。该项目将在5年内资助25个奖学金名额。教师培养计划将通过佛蒙特大学和州立农业学院(UVM)的高效和国家认可的STEM和教育项目之间的合作来提供：教育和社会服务学院、艺术与科学学院和工程与数学科学学院的中学教育中的艺术教学硕士(MAT)计划，以及地区高需求高中蒙彼利埃高中、亚伯拉罕山高中、弗根尼斯高中和Union-32高中的合作。该项目将利用UVM MAT队列模式，其中包括为期一年的校本实习。诺伊斯学者还将参加每月的研讨会，并参观社区中心。高级诺伊斯学者将介绍一个方向，强调在数学和科学中研究和发现的重要性，以及如何在他们自己的教学中模拟这些实践。诺伊斯大学学者还将与工科学生合作，为高中生创建服务学习项目。该项目将促进下一代科学标准和数学共同核心国家标准的全面整合，重点是科学、数学和工程思维和实践的应用。一项纵向研究研究将调查该项目对作为教师和教师领导者的接受者的影响，以及他们在教师职业中的留任，以及该项目对STEM和UVM的教育教师和项目的影响。为此，除了进行课堂观察外，项目组还将使用专业态度和性格评估(PADA)、标准评估问卷(SAI2)、新英格兰共同评估(NECAP)和从现有MSP调查中提取的学习机会前后调查(OTL)等工具收集数据。通过方案活动和研究议程，该项目将发展、改进和维持一条为服务不足的学校招聘和准备STEM教师的渠道。
