The project aims to serve the national need of preparing high quality STEM teachers to serve in high-need school districts. To meet the needs of such districts, teachers must be prepared in the use of best practices in support of student success in science and mathematics. This includes culturally relevant pedagogy. This project seeks to recruit STEM majors to become teachers in high-need school districts. It intends to provide scholarships to junior and senior level university students pursuing baccalaureate degrees in STEM disciplines, along with teacher certification at the secondary or middle grade level. As part of the project’s recruitment strategy of STEM majors to the teaching profession, this project intends to support student service internship opportunities for freshmen through junior year university students. These service internships are intended to provide university STEM students with opportunities to spend time in high-need school district classrooms. This is to allow the interns to observe high-quality teachers in grades 6-12, to engage with students, and to become aware of productive teaching and learning strategies. The quality grades 6-12 STEM educators resulting from this project are expected to enhance the student learning experiences and success of students in mathematics and science in the Hampton Roads community.This project at Old Dominion University includes partnerships with the Chesapeake Public Schools, Norfolk Public Schools, Suffolk Public Schools, and Virginia Beach City Public Schools, as well as Thomas Nelson Community College (name changing to Virginia Peninsula Community College). The primary goal of the project is to recruit and provide financial support to 27 high-achieving STEM students who complete STEM baccalaureate degrees while also obtaining teaching credentials and solidify agreements to teach in the Hampton Roads districts (divisions). In addition to a solid STEM baccalaureate degree program and certification path, the project intends to use internships, workshops, seminars, and both university faculty and district teacher mentors to grow the understanding of culturally relevant pedagogies among the Noyce Scholars. As project participants, students will be provided opportunities to engage with local schools, build relationships with school partners, learn best-practices for teaching in high-need environments, and return to teach in the surrounding and school partner districts. As project participants transition into project alumni and return to partnership districts to teach, students at partnership schools will have the opportunity to interact with and grow from the project alumni, which will serve as a recruitment opportunity for continual perpetuation of project applicants. This Track 1: Scholarships and Stipends project is supported through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Project (Noyce). The Noyce project 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 effectiveness and retention 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的需要，培养高素质的STEM教师，为高需求的学区服务。为了满足这些学区的需要，教师必须做好利用最佳做法支持学生在科学和数学方面取得成功的准备。这包括与文化相关的教育学。该项目旨在招聘STEM专业的学生成为高需求学区的教师。它打算向正在攻读STEM学科学士学位的初级和高级大学学生提供奖学金，并提供中等或中等水平的教师认证。作为该项目招聘STEM专业教师的战略的一部分，该项目旨在为大一至大三学生提供学生服务实习机会。这些服务性实习旨在为大学STEM学生提供在高需求学区教室度过时间的机会。这是为了让实习生观察6-12年级的高质量教师，与学生互动，并意识到富有成效的教学策略。通过这个项目产生的6-12年级的STEM教育者预计将提高学生的学习体验和汉普顿路社区学生在数学和科学方面的成功。这个在老多米尼恩大学的项目包括与切萨皮克公立学校、诺福克公立学校、萨福克公立学校和弗吉尼亚海滩城公立学校以及托马斯·纳尔逊社区学院(更名为弗吉尼亚半岛社区学院)的合作伙伴关系。该项目的主要目标是招聘27名完成STEM学士学位的优秀STEM学生并向他们提供财政支持，同时获得教师资格证书并巩固在汉普顿路区(区)任教的协议。除了坚实的STEM学士学位课程和认证途径外，该项目还打算利用实习、研讨会、研讨会以及大学教师和地区教师导师来加深诺伊斯学者对与文化相关的教学的理解。作为项目参与者，学生将有机会与当地学校接触，与学校合作伙伴建立关系，学习在高需求环境中教学的最佳做法，并返回周围地区和学校合作伙伴地区任教。随着项目参与者转变为项目校友并返回伙伴关系地区任教，伙伴学校的学生将有机会与项目校友互动并从中成长，这将成为项目申请者继续留任的招聘机会。这个轨道1：奖学金和津贴项目是由罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金项目(Noyce)支持的。Noyce项目支持有才华的STEM本科专业和专业人员成为有效的K-12 STEM教师，并支持有经验的、模范的K-12教师成为高需求学区的STEM硕士教师。它还支持对高需求学区K-12 STEM教师的有效性和留住的研究。这一奖项反映了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。
