With funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program, the Mines-UNC STEM Teacher Preparation Noyce Scholarship Program is recruiting undergraduate majors in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and preparing them to become grades 7-12 STEM teachers. The project is funding 18 scholarships and 30 internships over 5 years. In this project, Colorado School of Mines (CSM) and the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) are collaborating with Denver Public School District, Jefferson County School District, and St. Vrain Valley School District to educate and prepare STEM teachers. This project will: provide insight into how a partnership between a strong engineering school and a strong teacher education school can increase recruitment and retention of STEM majors who consider teaching as a profession; assess CSM students' perceptions of teaching as a profession; evaluate the impact of early support (e.g., mentoring and professional development seminars) on teacher retention; and, ultimately, meet the need for providing more highly-qualified STEM teachers.The Mines-UNC STEM Teacher Preparation Program is a unique partnership between CSM and UNC that offers a path toward secondary teaching licensure in science or math for CSM students. The program plays on the strengths of the two institutions to produce highly-educated graduates through an integrated program that is part of the students' undergraduate degree. CSM (a highly selective, small public research university) is fully responsible for STEM content preparation, while UNC (a strong teacher preparation institution) delivers the Professional Teacher Education Program. This project will add an important component to the teacher preparation program by making secondary teaching a more visible, accessible, and attractive career option for these students. The specific goals of this project are to: 1) increase the number of CSM graduates who become STEM teachers and teach in high-need school districts; 2) create early STEM education experiences for CSM students to encourage more to consider teaching of STEM subjects as a career; 3) provide ongoing mentoring and professional development support of STEM teachers during their induction year at high-need schools; 4) actively address ideas about teaching as a career to maintain a healthy supportive culture at CSM toward the profession; and 5) assess, disseminate, and sustain the best recruitment and retention practices.

在美国国家科学基金会Robert Noyce教师奖学金项目的资助下，Mines-UNC STEM教师准备Noyce奖学金项目正在招募科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科的本科专业学生，并准备他们成为7-12年级的STEM教师。该项目将在5年内提供18个奖学金和30个实习机会。在这个项目中，科罗拉多矿业学院（CSM）和北科罗拉多大学（UNC）正在与丹佛公立学区、杰斐逊县学区和圣Vrain山谷学区合作，教育和培养STEM教师。该项目将：深入了解强大的工程学院和强大的教师教育学院之间的合作关系如何增加将教学视为职业的STEM专业的招聘和保留；评估CSM学生对教学作为一种职业的看法；评估早期支持（例如指导和专业发展研讨会）对教师留任的影响；并最终满足提供更多高素质STEM教师的需求。Mines-UNC STEM教师准备计划是CSM和UNC之间独特的合作伙伴关系，为CSM学生提供科学或数学中学教学执照的途径。该项目利用两所院校的优势，通过一个综合项目培养高学历的毕业生，该项目是学生本科学位的一部分。CSM（一所高选择性的小型公立研究型大学）完全负责STEM内容的准备，而UNC（一所强大的教师准备机构）提供专业教师教育计划。该项目将为教师培训计划增加一个重要组成部分，使中学教学成为这些学生更明显、更容易获得和更有吸引力的职业选择。该项目的具体目标是：1)增加CSM毕业生成为STEM教师并在高需求学区任教的人数；2)为CSM学生创造早期STEM教育体验，鼓励更多学生将STEM学科教学作为职业；3)为STEM教师在高需求学校的入职期间提供持续的指导和专业发展支持；4)积极提出将教学作为一种职业的想法，以保持CSM对该职业的健康支持文化；5)评估、传播和维持最佳的招聘和保留实践。
