This Track 1 Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship project aims to recruit and prepare 21 undergraduate physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics majors to become secondary science and mathematics teachers. Led by Alabama A&M University (AAMU), a historically Black College and University, the project is well-positioned to prepare students from under-represented groups to teach in high-need learning environments in northern Alabama. Achieving this goal will also help meet a national need to diversify the teaching workforce. The goals of the Those Who Can Teach project are to: (1) increase the pool of highly-qualified science and mathematics teachers working in high-need schools, including high-need rural schools in northern Alabama; (2) improve recruitment and retention efforts of STEM majors as secondary teachers; (3) implement a challenging curriculum to ensure Noyce Scholars are competent in content, pedagogy, and cultural diversity; and (4) support project participants to ensure their success during their pre-service and induction periods. Selected first- and second year students will participate in a week-long teaching-focused internship, with the goal of increasing their interest in teaching and in the Noyce Scholars program. Noyce Scholars will receive scholarship support in their junior and senior years, and induction support once they are teaching. Scholars will be required to teach for two years in high-needs school districts for each year of scholarship support. The Those Who Can Teach project will focus on placing Noyce Scholars in partnering school districts, to teach in schools where critical teacher shortages in science and mathematics have been identified.Three Alabama community college partners, Calhoun Community College, Lawson State Community College, and Drake State Community College will collaborate with AAMU to recruit and place 21 undergraduate STEM Scholars in secondary science and mathematics classrooms. Working closely with the Admissions Office, Freshman Academy, and the Registrar's Office at AAMU and the community college partners, the project will identify enrolled first-year, second-year, and transfer students who are majoring in STEM disciplines. Targeted robust recruitment strategies, including social media, will be used to attract STEM majors into teaching careers. The project intends to award 50% of the scholarships to community college transfer students. For Scholars who complete the teacher preparation program and certification requirements, the project will help them obtain employment in high-need schools in partnering school districts (Huntsville City, Madison County, and Limestone County). The Those Who Can Teach project expects that its program evaluation efforts will provide a deeper understanding of how STEM students can be placed on a path to teaching. By working with community college partners and school districts, the project may be able to establish a pathway for STEM majors to become secondary teachers and to learn how project supports contributed to the retention and success of the 21 certified teacher Scholars. After successful project implementation, other communities experiencing a shortage of science and mathematics teachers may benefit from the strategies and approaches used to recruit, prepare, place, and support STEM majors on the pathway to teaching in secondary science and mathematics classrooms in high-need school districts.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.

这个轨道1罗伯特诺伊斯教师奖学金项目旨在招募和准备21个本科物理，化学，生物和数学专业成为中学科学和数学教师。 由亚拉巴马A M大学（AAMU），一个历史上的黑人学院和大学的领导下，该项目是很好的定位，从代表性不足的群体准备学生在亚拉巴马北方的高需求的学习环境中任教。实现这一目标也将有助于满足国家对教师队伍多样化的需求。 那些谁可以教项目的目标是：（1）增加高素质的科学和数学教师在高需求的学校，包括北方亚拉巴马的高需求的农村学校工作的池;（2）改善STEM专业的中学教师的招聘和保留工作;（3）实施具有挑战性的课程，以确保诺伊斯学者在内容，教学法和文化多样性方面的能力;及（4）支援计划参与者，确保他们在入职前及入职期间取得成功。 选定的一年级和二年级学生将参加为期一周的教学实习，以提高他们对教学和诺伊斯学者计划的兴趣。 诺伊斯学者将在他们的大三和大四获得奖学金支持，并在他们任教后获得入职支持。 学者将被要求在高需求学区任教两年，以获得每年的奖学金支持。 Those Who Can Teach项目的重点是将Noyce学者安置在合作学区，在科学和数学教师严重短缺的学校任教。三个亚拉巴马社区学院合作伙伴，卡尔霍恩社区学院，劳森州立社区学院和德雷克州立社区学院将与AAMU合作，招募21名本科STEM学者，并将其安置在中学科学和数学教室。 与招生办公室，新生学院和注册办公室在AAMU和社区学院的合作伙伴密切合作，该项目将确定注册的第一年，第二年和转学生谁是STEM学科专业。 有针对性的强有力的招聘策略，包括社交媒体，将被用来吸引STEM专业进入教学生涯。 该项目打算将50%的奖学金授予社区学院转学生。 对于完成教师准备计划和认证要求的学者，该项目将帮助他们在合作学区（亨茨维尔市，麦迪逊县和石灰石县）的高需求学校获得就业。 那些谁可以教项目预计，其计划评估工作将提供一个更深入的了解如何STEM学生可以放置在教学的道路上。 通过与社区学院合作伙伴和学区合作，该项目可能能够为STEM专业学生成为中学教师建立一条途径，并了解项目支持如何有助于21名认证教师学者的保留和成功。 在项目成功实施后，其他面临科学和数学教师短缺的社区可能会受益于用于招聘、准备、安置、并支持STEM专业的学生在高中的中学科学和数学课堂上进行教学，这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的知识产权的支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
