This Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program capacity-building project aims to address the shortage of secondary STEM teachers and the disparity in underrepresented minority STEM teachers in Chicago and the surrounding metropolitan area. Dominican University (DU, a private, four-year Hispanic-serving institution in suburban Chicago) will partner with Triton College (a public, two-year Hispanic-serving institution) to design a replicable pathway for potential STEM teacher preparation students to transfer from Triton to DU. A parallel pathway for high school students interested in teaching careers in STEM fields will be developed, with the help of STEM teachers from Proviso Math and Science Academy and Benito Juarez Community Academy, high-needs high schools with strong STEM programs.Faculty members from DU's School of Education and the STEM departments in its Rosary College of Arts and Sciences will participate in workshops with Triton College STEM faculty members, with the goal of developing curricular alignment and articulation agreements between the two institutions. STEM teachers from the Proviso Math and Science Academy (part of the suburban Proviso Public School District 209) and the Benito Juarez Community Academy (a Chicago Public School), both of which have high Hispanic enrollments and strong STEM programs, will engage in partnership-developing activities such as classroom presentations and campus visits with DU STEM and Education faculty members. These activities will increase awareness of STEM teaching as a career option for high-achieving high school students, as well as DU as a destination university where they could pursue this career path. This project aims to lay the groundwork for a subsequent Noyce Track 1 Scholarships and Stipends proposal by developing DU's capacity to recruit, enroll, and graduate diverse students in STEM fields who could also pursue secondary teaching licensure.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个罗伯特·诺伊斯（Robert Noyce）教师奖学金计划的能力建设项目旨在解决次要STEM教师的短缺以及芝加哥及周边大都市地区代表性不足的少数民族STEM教师的差异。多米尼加大学（Duniacan University（DU），芝加哥郊区的四年私人西班牙裔服务机构）将与特里顿学院（Triton College）（公立，两年的西班牙裔服务机构）合作，为潜在的STEM教师准备学生从特里顿（Triton）转移到du。在Proviso数学和科学学院的STEM老师和Benito Juarez社区学院的STEM老师的帮助下，将开发有兴趣在STEM领域教学职业的高中生的平行途径。和两个机构之间的表达协议。 Proviso数学和科学学院（郊区Proviso公立学区的一部分）和贝尼托·华雷斯社区学院（芝加哥公立学校）的STEM老师（芝加哥公立学校）都有很高的西班牙裔入学率和强大的STEM计划，将从事与Du Squel和Du Stem教育师生的合作发展活动，例如课堂和校园的伙伴关系活动。这些活动将提高人们对STEM教学的认识，作为高中生的职业选择，以及DU，成为一所目的地大学，在那里他们可以追求这一职业道路。该项目旨在通过发展DU的能力，在STEM领域的招募，入学和研究生多样化的学生来促进二级教学许可。这一奖项也可以反映NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的智力和广泛的评估来评估支持，从而奠定了基础。
