The Philadelphia Regional Noyce Scholarship Program is a Noyce Track 1 Scholarships and Stipends project at Saint Joseph's University. The project will address the national need for preparing highly effective secondary mathematics and science teachers for successful teaching careers in high-need urban environments. Six colleges and universities in the Philadelphia region will collaborate to increase: (i) the number of STEM majors that become teachers in high-need schools in the Philadelphia region and who persist as teachers; (ii) Noyce scholars' understanding of Culturally Responsive Teaching practices; and (iii) Noyce scholars' knowledge of Education for Sustainability content and pedagogical practices. The project will produce new STEM teachers drawn from biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics majors and post-baccalaureates at the partnering institutions. Noyce scholars will participate in three years of learning community work, starting in their final year of pre-service preparation and continuing for their first two years of teaching. Through the scholars' participation in these learning communities, they will learn how to build social networks that will positively support acclimation to the teaching profession. Scholars will use teaching and learning strategies based on education for sustainability core standards. Additionally, twenty-four students from a local community college will take part in a summer internship program with the goal of increasing their interest in pursuing careers in STEM teaching at one of the partnering institutions. The project will award one-year Noyce scholarships to 55 undergraduate STEM majors and STEM post-baccalaureates. The scholarship granting institutions in the partnership are Arcadia University, Bryn Mawr College, La Salle University, Saint Joseph's University, and Temple University. They are joined in the project by two additional partnerships: the Community College of Philadelphia and the School District of Philadelphia. By bringing scholars from multiple institutions together, the project will create a regional community of practice that can engage a critical mass of participants, contribute to the formation of a robust professional social network, and foster culturally relevant and sustainability education practices. The project will investigate the degree to which these supports help retain new STEM teachers in the profession, resulting in addressing the critical need to attract well-prepared STEM teachers to the Philadelphia region.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.

费城地区Noyce奖学金计划是圣约瑟夫大学Noyce Track 1奖学金和津贴项目。该项目将满足全国培养高效中学数学和科学教师的需求，使他们能够在高需求的城市环境中成功地从事教学工作。费城地区的六所学院和大学将合作增加：(i)成为费城地区高需求学校教师并坚持担任教师的STEM专业人数；（ii）观察学者对文化响应型教学实践的理解；（iii） Noyce学者对可持续发展教育内容和教学实践的了解。该项目将从合作院校的生物、化学、数学和物理专业以及本科以上毕业生中选拔新的STEM教师。诺伊斯学者将参加为期三年的学习社区工作，从他们最后一年的职前准备开始，并继续他们的前两年教学。通过参与这些学习社区，他们将学习如何建立社会网络，这将积极支持适应教学职业。学者们将采用基于可持续发展教育核心标准的教与学策略。此外，来自当地社区大学的24名学生将参加一个暑期实习项目，目的是提高他们在合作机构从事STEM教学工作的兴趣。该项目将向55名STEM专业本科生和STEM学士学位毕业生颁发为期一年的Noyce奖学金。提供奖学金的机构包括阿卡迪亚大学、布林茅尔学院、拉萨尔大学、圣约瑟夫大学和天普大学。他们还加入了另外两个合作伙伴：费城社区学院和费城学区。通过将来自多个机构的学者聚集在一起，该项目将创建一个能够吸引大量参与者的区域实践社区，有助于形成一个强大的专业社交网络，并促进与文化相关和可持续发展的教育实践。该项目将调查这些支持在多大程度上有助于留住新的STEM教师，从而解决吸引准备充分的STEM教师到费城地区的迫切需求。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。
