Salish Kootenai College's Noyce Track 1 project aims to address the critical shortage of mathematics and science teachers from Native American communities throughout Montana. The project will provide scholarships and stipends to support the preparation of 20 mathematics and science majors to become licensed teachers in high-need secondary schools. These prospective teachers will mostly be Native American students on or near the Flathead Indian Reservation. The project will also provide undergraduate internships to increase the number of mathematics and science majors who will enter K-12 teaching as a career. Additionally, it will develop structures that help new teachers to thrive and persist in the teaching profession. The project will build on a successful Native American teacher preparation model that focuses on professionalism and teaching practices. This approach has the potential to improve learning by inviting the experiences and perspectives of under-served learners into mathematics and science classrooms.This project will partner with the Salish and Kootenai Tribes and Elders, Flathead Reservation School Districts, and educators in informal educational settings. This partnership will provide support for undergraduate pre-service teachers as they develop culturally congruent instructional practices. The project will also support Noyce recipients through induction as new teachers. This support will include classroom visits by project staff, professional development, professional learning community meetings, online discussions, and administrative support. The project can contribute new knowledge about the ways teachers are prepared to meet the needs of underserved students. It also aims to contribute to higher science achievement for all students, as project graduates model the application STEM-focused equity and access pedagogy with colleagues in the professional learning communities to which they belong.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.

萨利什·库特奈学院的Noyce Track 1项目旨在解决蒙大拿州美洲原住民社区数学和科学教师严重短缺的问题。该项目将提供奖学金和津贴，支持20名数学和科学专业的学生准备成为高需求中学的持证教师。这些未来的教师将主要是Flathead印第安人保留地或附近的美国原住民学生。该项目还将提供本科生实习机会，以增加将进入K-12教学职业的数学和科学专业学生的数量。此外，它还将发展有助于新教师茁壮成长并坚持教师职业的结构。该项目将建立在一种成功的美洲原住民教师培训模式的基础上，该模式侧重于专业精神和教学实践。这一方法有可能通过邀请未得到充分服务的学习者的经验和观点进入数学和科学课堂来改进学习。该项目将与Salish和Kotenai部落和长老、Flathead保留学区以及非正规教育机构的教育工作者合作。这一伙伴关系将为本科生职前教师发展文化契合的教学实践提供支持。该项目还将通过入职成为新教师来支持诺伊斯奖学金获得者。这种支持将包括项目工作人员的课堂访问、专业发展、专业学习社区会议、在线讨论和行政支持。该项目可以提供有关教师如何准备满足服务不足学生的需求的新知识。它还旨在为所有学生的更高科学成就做出贡献，因为项目毕业生与他们所在的专业学习社区的同事一起建立了以STEM为重点的应用公平和获取教育学的模式。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
