This project aims to serve the national need for a greater number of highly prepared math and science teachers working in high need urban schools. To do so, the project intends to recruit undergraduate STEM students who are disposed to support students in high-need schools in a way that reduces educational gaps in the current system. These future teachers will receive scholarships and be immersed in a supportive community of learners engaged in developing equitable educational practices. Through this community, the project will support and enhance the development of the teacher candidates. An innovative aspect of the project is its engagement of undergraduate STEM students in teacher preparation activities beginning in their first year in college. These activities will provide students with expanded opportunities to work with and learn from experienced teachers. The project also builds on previous Noyce awards by adding support for Noyce alumni in their first year of teaching to help ensure that their teaching career gets off to a good start. This project at California State University Northridge is in partnership with the Los Angeles Unified School District, the second largest school district in the country. Project goals include the recruitment, support, and development of at least 35 new STEM teachers over the five-year duration of funding. Since a typical teaching career touches the lives of 3,000 students, these Noyce Scholars have the potential to impact more than 100,000 secondary-level STEM students. The Noyce Scholars will be mentored by alumni from previous Noyce projects and interact with a STEM teacher-in-residence at the university. During their student teaching, the Noyce Scholars will be able to participate in lesson study activities and will learn how technology can be used to support student collaboration and authentic inquiry. These improvements are designed to provide new teachers with the tools and skills needed to lead change within their schools and impact the lives of thousands of students. This Track 1: Scholarships and Stipends project is supported through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce). The Noyce program supports talented STEM undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K-12 STEM teachers and experienced, exemplary K-12 teachers to become STEM master teachers in high-need school districts. 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.

该项目旨在满足国家对更多在高需求城市学校工作的高度准备的数学和科学教师的需求。为此，该项目打算招募本科STEM学生，他们愿意以减少当前系统中教育差距的方式支持高需求学校的学生。这些未来的教师将获得奖学金，并沉浸在一个支持性的学习者社区，参与制定公平的教育实践。 通过这个社区，该项目将支持和加强教师候选人的发展。 该项目的一个创新方面是本科STEM学生在大学第一年开始参与教师准备活动。这些活动将为学生提供更多的机会与经验丰富的教师一起工作和学习。该项目还建立在以前的诺伊斯奖，增加了对诺伊斯校友在他们的第一年教学的支持，以帮助确保他们的教学生涯有一个良好的开端。加州州立大学北岭分校的这个项目是与全国第二大学区洛杉矶联合学区合作的。项目目标包括在五年的资助期内招聘、支持和培养至少35名新的STEM教师。由于一个典型的教学生涯涉及3,000名学生的生活，这些诺伊斯学者有可能影响超过10万名中学STEM学生。诺伊斯学者将由以前的诺伊斯项目校友指导，并与大学的STEM驻校教师互动。在他们的学生教学期间，诺伊斯学者将能够参加课程学习活动，并将学习如何利用技术来支持学生的协作和真实的探究。这些改进旨在为新教师提供必要的工具和技能，以领导学校内部的变革，并影响成千上万学生的生活。这个轨道1：奖学金和津贴项目是通过罗伯特诺伊斯教师奖学金计划（诺伊斯）的支持。诺伊斯计划支持有才华的STEM本科专业和专业人士成为有效的K-12 STEM教师和经验丰富的模范K-12教师，成为高需求学区的STEM硕士教师。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。
