With support from the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce), this Track 1: Scholarships and Stipends project aims to serve the national need for culturally competent STEM secondary teachers in high-need school districts. Teachers who understand the culture of their students and the learning environment are critical to successful K-12 STEM education in high-need schools and districts. This project will address pre-service teachers' understanding of cultural competency and the relationship between cultural competency and gender. In addition, it will examine the impact of early field experiences on community building among current STEM teachers, preservice STEM teachers, and K-12 students. Project activities will include a Master of Arts in Teaching teacher certification program that features a one-year teaching internship in a diverse, high-need school. During the teaching internship, Noyce scholarship recipients will conduct action research, engage in cultural activities, participate in roundtable collaborations with a STEM teacher community, and complete an early field experience. The outcomes of the project have the potential to inform teacher education practices, improve understanding of teachers' cultural competency, and increase knowledge about how early field research experiences affect teacher capability and community building. Through this Noyce project, Clarkson University will recruit 20 STEM majors and prepare them for careers as science and mathematics teachers in high-need school districts in the rural north and urban capital region of New York state. The project will provide these undergraduates with scholarships during the undergraduate senior year and the post-baccalaureate/MAT degree year, as well as additional supports to help the Noyce Scholars to: 1) develop cultural competency in rural and urban settings; 2) conduct collaborative research; and 3) engage in STEM educational communities. Induction resources and support will also be provided during the Noyce scholars' early years of teaching. The project will partner with Schenectady City School District and Gouverneur Central School District in New York to share effective practices in recruiting, training, placement, and support for talented teachers in high-need schools and districts. Project evaluation will be conducted through focus group discussions, together with established instruments focusing on STEM teaching self-efficacy, competency, attitudes, and multicultural sensitivity. The project has the potential to benefit society by integrating teacher preparation and research to recruit, prepare, and retain a talented and effective STEM education workforce of culturally responsive teachers. The Noyce program supports talented STEM undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K-12 STEM 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 STEM 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，该项目旨在满足国家对高需求学区文化能力STEM中学教师的需求。了解学生文化和学习环境的教师对于在高需求学校和地区成功开展K-12 STEM教育至关重要。本项目将探讨职前教师对文化能力的理解以及文化能力与性别之间的关系。 此外，它还将研究早期实地经验对当前STEM教师，兼职STEM教师和K-12学生社区建设的影响。项目活动将包括一个教师认证课程的艺术硕士，该课程的特点是在一个多样化的，高需求的学校进行为期一年的教学实习。在教学实习期间，诺伊斯奖学金获得者将进行行动研究，参与文化活动，参加与STEM教师社区的圆桌合作，并完成早期的实地经验。该项目的成果有可能为教师教育实践提供信息，提高对教师文化能力的理解，并增加有关早期实地研究经验如何影响教师能力和社区建设的知识。通过这个诺伊斯项目，克拉克森大学将招募20名STEM专业的学生，为他们在纽约州北部农村和城市首都地区的高需求学区担任科学和数学教师做好准备。 该项目将在本科四年级和学士学位后/MAT学位年为这些本科生提供奖学金，以及额外的支持，以帮助诺伊斯学者：1）在农村和城市环境中发展文化能力; 2）进行合作研究;和3）从事STEM教育社区。归纳资源和支持也将在诺伊斯学者的教学早年提供。该项目将与纽约的谢内克塔迪市学区和Gouverneur中央学区合作，分享在招聘、培训、安置和支持高需求学校和地区的优秀教师方面的有效做法。项目评估将通过焦点小组讨论进行，同时使用现有的工具，重点关注STEM教学的自我效能，能力，态度和多元文化敏感性。该项目有可能通过整合教师准备和研究来招募，准备和保留一支有才华和有效的STEM教育队伍，使社会受益。诺伊斯计划支持有才华的STEM本科专业和专业人士成为高需求学区的有效K-12 STEM教师，以及经验丰富的模范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智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
