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·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划能力建设项目旨在解决中学STEM教师短缺的问题，以及芝加哥和周边大都市地区少数民族STEM教师代表性不足的差距。多米尼加大学（杜，一个私人的，四年制的西班牙裔服务机构在郊区芝加哥）将与Triton学院合作（一个公共的，为期两年的西班牙裔服务机构）设计一个可复制的途径，为潜在的STEM教师准备学生从Triton转移到DU。将开发一个平行的途径，为高中学生有兴趣在STEM领域的教学生涯，在Proviso数学与科学学院和贝尼托·华雷斯社区学院的STEM教师的帮助下，这些高需求的高中都有强大的STEM课程。杜的教育学院和玫瑰艺术与科学学院的STEM部门的教师将参加与Triton学院STEM教师的研讨会，目标是在两所院校之间制定课程调整和衔接协议。来自Proviso数学和科学学院（Proviso公立学区209郊区的一部分）和贝尼托·华雷斯社区学院（芝加哥公立学校）的STEM教师，这两所学校都有很高的西班牙裔入学率和强大的STEM课程，将与DU STEM和教育教师一起参与合作伙伴关系发展活动，如课堂演示和校园参观。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DU作为他们可以追求这条职业道路的目的地大学的认识。该项目旨在通过发展DU的招聘能力，注册，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，被认为值得支持的搜索.
