NSF Robert Noyce Scholarship Program

纽约州立大学石溪分校的Noyce奖学金项目正在招募和支持STEM专业的本科生，以及学士学位后的STEM专业人士，加入强大的教师准备项目。Noyce项目是围绕一个成功的校园组织LIGASE（长岛促进科学教育组织）建立的，该组织是该大学科学教育项目的伞式组织。科学和数学专业的学生是从石溪大学的本科生和当地社区大学中招募的。此外，通过报纸、网站和职业日活动，私营部门的职业转变STEM专业人士也被招募为Noyce学者。43位学者获得了大量奖学金，其中12位是完成教师认证课程的本科生，31位是返回石溪完成MAT学位的STEM专业人士。该项目对学士学位后学生的重视反映了纽约州执照法的变化，该法律要求在开始教学的5年内获得硕士学位。通过LIGASE建立的合作伙伴关系，成功的诺伊斯学者被安置在长岛和纽约市学区的高需求中学。在教学的关键第一年，新教师得到每月在石溪举行的研讨会、研讨会和讨论会议的支持。该计划通过为未来的教师提供优秀的科学内容和教学准备来解决教师教育的基本问题。该项目对长岛和纽约市的科学教师的素质产生了广泛的影响。

The Noyce Scholarship Program at SUNY Stony Brook is recruiting and supporting undergraduates majoring in STEM fields, as well as post-baccalaureate STEM professionals, into strong teacher preparation programs. The Noyce program is built around a successful campus organization known as LIGASE (Long Island Group Advancing Science Education), which acts as an umbrella organization for science education programs at the university. Science and math majors are being recruited from among Stony Brook undergraduates and from area community colleges. In addition, career-changing STEM professionals in the private sector are being recruited as Noyce Scholars through newspapers, web sites, and career day activities. Forty-three scholars are being supported with substantial scholarships, 12 of whom are undergraduates completing their teacher certification program and 31 who are STEM professionals returning to Stony Brook to complete the MAT degree. The emphasis of the program on post-baccalaureate students reflects changes in the New York State licensure laws requiring a Masters degree within 5 years of beginning teaching. Through partnerships established by LIGASE, successful Noyce Scholars are being placed in high need secondary schools in Long Island and New York City school districts. During the critical first years of teaching, new teachers are supported with workshops, seminars, and discussion sessions held monthly at Stony Brook. The program addresses fundamental issues in teacher education by providing excellent science content and pedagogical preparation for future teachers. The program is having a broad impact on the quality of science teachers on Long Island and in New York City.
