With funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program, the Track 1 VCU NOYCE Phase III project will recruit STEM majors and prepare them to become secondary mathematics and science teachers. The project will fund 25 scholarships/stipends/fellowships, including 12 STEM majors each receiving two years of support and 13 Masters of Teaching students each receiving one year of support, over 5 years. In this project, Virginia Commonwealth University will collaborate with Richmond Metro region school districts to address a longstanding shortage of mathematics and science teachers and their retention. To address this shortage, VCU Noyce Phase III will incorporate two recruitment opportunities including a summer camp internship and a new service learning course designed to provide experiences in classrooms. To support and retain Scholars in the classroom, the program will offer a two year induction program that includes monthly support sessions with a school-based induction mentor.As a Phase III project, the current effort will build on past success and implement new approaches for recruitment and retention. This project aims to advance secondary science and mathematics education by adding knowledge about culturally responsive pedagogy, the impact of internship models, and the use of induction supports for retention. The project will produce a collection of materials that can be used to establish internship programs and to create a process/framework for Induction Mentors. Four areas of research will be addressed to examine the impact of recruitment strategies across Phase I to III: 1) the impact of the pre-service MT program on the cultural competency of the scholars; 2) the adequacy of the induction model across Phase I to III; 3) the effectiveness of social networking strategies; and 4) the sustainability of the program components.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.

在国家科学基金会罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的资助下，第一轨道VCU NOYCE第三阶段项目将招募STEM专业的学生，并为他们成为中学数学和科学教师做好准备。该项目将资助25个奖学金/津贴/奖学金，包括12个STEM专业，每个专业获得两年的支持，13个教学硕士学生，每个专业获得一年的支持，为期5年。在这个项目中，弗吉尼亚联邦大学将与里士满大都会地区学区合作，解决长期以来数学和科学教师短缺的问题。为了解决这一短缺问题，VCU Noyce第三阶段将包括两个招聘机会，包括夏令营实习和一个新的服务学习课程，旨在提供课堂经验。为了在课堂上支持和留住学者，该计划将提供一个为期两年的入职计划，其中包括每月与校本入职导师进行的支持会议。作为第三阶段项目，目前的努力将建立在过去的成功基础上，并实施新的招聘和留住方法。 该项目旨在通过增加有关文化上敏感的教学法、实习模式的影响以及利用入职支持来促进中学科学和数学教育。 该项目将制作一系列材料，可用于建立实习计划并为入职导师创建流程/框架。本研究将针对四个领域探讨第一至第三阶段招募策略的影响：1）职前MT计划对学者文化能力的影响; 2）第一至第三阶段引入模式的适当性; 3）社交网络策略的有效性;该奖项反映了NSF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。
