The Robert Noyce Scholars Program at Indiana State University

印第安纳州立大学（ISU）的Robert Noyce学者项目正在印第安纳波利斯公立学校系统的高需求学校中增加持有科学和数学执照的中学教师的数量和保留率。Noyce学者是从两年制大学转到ISU的学生中招募的，以及具有科学和数学背景的过渡专业人士。本科生获得奖学金，以支持他们的教师培训，研究生，进入国际滑联的过渡到教学计划，获得津贴，以抵消在国际滑联出席的费用。26名未来的教师正在一个完善的教师教育项目中接受培训和指导，该项目建立在ISU与印第安纳波利斯地区的专业发展学校之间的长期合作伙伴关系之上。该课程的学生将印第安纳州学术标准纳入内容领域培训，并采用基于问题的学习方法来教授科学和数学。诺伊斯奖学金获得者承诺在获得奖学金的每一年在印第安纳波利斯公立学校任教两年。该项目的智力价值包括评价有针对性的教师培训对城市环境的影响，作为将城市环境转变为培训学生和教师的学习工具的战略。ISU也在使用它的Noyce项目来评估基于问题的学习在城市环境中的价值。更广泛的影响包括更多、更好的STEM教师，以及城市学区学习成果的改善。

The Robert Noyce Scholars Program at Indiana State University (ISU) is increasing the number and retention rate of licensed secondary school teachers in science and mathematics in high-need schools in the Indianapolis Public School system. Noyce Scholars are recruited from among transfer students entering ISU from two-year institutions, as well as from transitioning professionals with backgrounds in science and mathematics. Undergraduates receive scholarships to support their teacher training, and graduate students, entering ISU's Transition to Teaching program, receive stipends to offset the costs of attendance at ISU. Twenty-six future teachers are being trained and mentored in a well-established teacher education program, which builds on a long-standing partnership between ISU and the Professional Development Schools in the Indianapolis area. Students in the program take coursework that integrates both Indiana Academic Standards into content area training, as well as a problem-based learning approach to teaching science and mathematics. Noyce Scholars commit to teaching in the Indianapolis Public Schools for two years for each year of the scholarship. The intellectual merit of the project includes an evaluation of the effect of targeted teacher training for the urban environment as a strategy for transforming the urban setting into a learning tool for both students and teachers in training. ISU is also using its Noyce program to assess the value of problem-based learning in urban settings. The broader impacts include more and better STEM teachers and improved learning outcomes in an urban school district.
