With support from the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce), this Track 1: Scholarships and Stipends project at the University of Rhode Island aims to serve the local and national need for highly-qualified STEM teachers. Freshmen and sophomore STEM majors will be offered summer internships as an initial experience with potential to excite them to become STEM teachers. These students may then later apply to become Noyce scholars during the junior and senior year of their undergraduate STEM degree program. This project will provide high-need school districts (HNSDs) with high-quality STEM teachers both through an undergraduate and graduate teacher education program and support them as beginning STEM teachers to improve student academic outcomes. Scholars will gain significant knowledge and practices in the STEM disciplines, including the Next Generation Science Standards, problem solving, and computational thinking. The Noyce Scholars will bring their expertise to HNSDs across the country, impacting STEM education in Rhode Island and beyond. The goals of the project are to recruit 20 freshmen and sophomores with STEM (e.g., biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics) backgrounds into teacher education through paid summer internships and then provide scholarship support to 16 STEM undergraduate majors and 5 STEM professionals (STEM graduates returning to become teachers). The project staff will mentor these 21 Noyce Scholars as beginning teachers in HNSDs. The project will collaborate with several HNSDs (e.g., Central Falls, Cranston, and Providence Public Schools) and the Rhode Island Environmental Education Association. Lessons learned will enhance the knowledge base regarding (a) factors influencing STEM majors and professionals coming into K-12 education and their interest in working in HNSDs, and (b) the types of support strategies that lead to successful student teaching and retention in a HNSD. The Noyce program supports talented STEM undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K-12 mathematics and science teachers in high-need school districts and experienced, exemplary K-12 STEM teachers to become STEM master teachers. It also supports research on the persistence, retention, and effectiveness of K-12 teachers 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.

在Robert Noyce教师奖学金计划（Noyce）的支持下，罗得岛大学的这一轨道1：奖学金和津贴项目旨在满足当地和国家对高素质STEM教师的需求。大一和大二的STEM专业学生将获得暑期实习机会，作为有潜力激发他们成为STEM教师的初步经验。 然后，这些学生可以在他们的本科STEM学位课程的大三和大四期间申请成为诺伊斯学者。该项目将通过本科和研究生教师教育计划为高需求学区（HNSDs）提供高质量的STEM教师，并支持他们成为STEM教师，以提高学生的学业成绩。学者将获得STEM学科的重要知识和实践，包括下一代科学标准，解决问题和计算思维。诺伊斯学者将把他们的专业知识带到全国各地的HNSDs，影响罗得岛及其他地区的STEM教育。该项目的目标是招募20名STEM新生和新生（例如，该项目还通过带薪暑期实习将STEM（生物科学、化学、计算机科学、数学和物理）背景纳入教师教育，然后为16个STEM本科专业和5个STEM专业人员（STEM毕业生回国当教师）提供奖学金支持。项目工作人员将指导这21名诺伊斯学者作为HNSD的初任教师。 该项目将与几个HNSD合作（例如，中央福尔斯、克兰斯顿和普罗维登斯公立学校）和罗得岛环境教育协会。吸取的教训将增强知识基础（a）影响STEM专业和专业人士进入K-12教育的因素，以及他们在HNSD工作的兴趣，以及（B）导致成功的学生教学和保留HNSD的支持策略类型。Noyce计划支持有才华的STEM本科专业和专业人士成为高需求学区的有效K-12数学和科学教师，并支持经验丰富、堪称典范的K-12 STEM教师成为STEM大师。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。
