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.

罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金项目能力建设项目旨在解决芝加哥及周边大都市区中等STEM教师短缺和少数族裔STEM教师人数不足的问题。多明尼加大学（DU，一所位于芝加哥郊区的四年制私立西班牙裔大学）将与Triton学院（一所公立两年制西班牙裔大学）合作，为潜在的STEM教师准备学生从Triton转到DU设计一个可复制的途径。在Proviso数学与科学学院和Benito Juarez社区学院的STEM教师的帮助下，将为对STEM领域的教学职业感兴趣的高中生开发一条平行途径，这两所学校都是拥有强大STEM课程的高需求高中。来自DU教育学院和Rosary艺术与科学学院STEM部门的教职员工将与Triton学院STEM教职员工一起参加研讨会，目的是制定两个机构之间的课程调整和衔接协议。来自Proviso数学与科学学院（Proviso Public School District 209郊区的一部分）和贝尼托华雷斯社区学院（Benito Juarez Community Academy）（芝加哥公立学校）的STEM教师，这两所学校都有很高的西班牙裔入学率和强大的STEM项目，他们将与DU STEM和教育教师一起参与伙伴关系发展活动，如课堂演讲和校园参观。这些活动将提高人们对STEM教学作为高成就高中生的职业选择的认识，以及杜顿大学作为他们可以追求这一职业道路的目的地大学的认识。该项目旨在为随后的Noyce Track 1奖学金和津贴提案奠定基础，通过发展杜的能力，招收、注册和毕业STEM领域的不同学生，这些学生也可以攻读中学教学执照。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
