Through funding support from a Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Capacity Building grant, the "Building Capacity to Produce Culturally Competent STEM Teachers" project will develop secondary teacher preparation programs in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and interdisciplinary physical sciences. Robust degree programs aimed at producing well-prepared high school teachers in fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are a national priority that underpin progress in science, the advancement of national health initiatives, and overall national prosperity in an increasingly technical economy. Placing successful STEM teachers in high-need school districts and ensuring the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM fields are essential. This Noyce project will address this critical need through developing programs, curriculum, and pedagogies that incorporate effective, research-based practices in STEM disciplinary fields and that include preservice teacher training in cultural awareness and social justice. Because this project will be led by Texas Lutheran University (TLU), a small Hispanic-serving liberal arts college, it will establish the infrastructure to produce uniquely trained middle and high school STEM teachers, prepared to serve in rural, high-need school districts in south central Texas. New collaborations among faculty in science, mathematics and education, coupled with expansion of education partnerships with south central Texas high-need school districts will serve as a foundation for the project. As a part of the project's efforts in developing the STEM teacher preparation degree plans, collaborations will be established between TLU science, mathematics and education departments.

通过罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金能力建设赠款的资金支持，“培养文化能力的STEM教师的能力建设”项目将开发物理、化学、生物、数学和跨学科物理科学方面的中学教师准备课程。 旨在培养科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域准备充分的高中教师的强大学位课程是国家的优先事项，它支持科学进步，国家卫生计划的推进以及日益技术化的经济中的整体国家繁荣。 将成功的STEM教师安置在高需求学区，并确保代表性不足的群体参与STEM领域至关重要。 这个诺伊斯项目将通过开发计划，课程和教学法来解决这一关键需求，这些计划，课程和教学法将有效的，以研究为基础的实践纳入STEM学科领域，并包括文化意识和社会正义方面的副教师培训。 由于该项目将由德克萨斯路德大学（TLU）领导，这是一所小型的西班牙裔服务文科学院，它将建立基础设施，以培养受过独特培训的初中和高中STEM教师，为德克萨斯州中南部农村高需求学区服务做好准备。科学，数学和教育教师之间的新合作，加上与德克萨斯州中南部高需求学区的教育伙伴关系的扩大，将成为该项目的基础。作为制定STEM教师准备学位计划的项目努力的一部分，TLU科学，数学和教育部门之间将建立合作。
