The University of Toledo UT3 Noyce Scholarship Program

通过托莱多大学教育与艺术与科学学院与托莱多公立学区的合作，每年向40名至少拥有工程、数学或科学学士学位的专业人士提供10笔17,220美元的奖学金。奖学金获得者参加研究生水平的课程，使他们在两个学期后有资格获得俄亥俄州替代教育执照，从而加快高素质教师进入该行业的数量。课程作业适用于教育学士学位。托莱多诺伊斯大学（University of Toledo Noyce）每年的津贴使进入高中教学职业的数学和科学教师候选人的人数翻了一番。所有领取津贴的人都加入“优托利多”。UTeach。“触摸未来”（UT3）是一个为数学和科学教育学生提供广泛的职前临床经验的项目，包括指导、实地经验、全面的学生支持服务，以及通过K-12和大学合作伙伴之间的合作实施的涵盖前三年教学的入职支持。该项目正在研究是什么促使STEM专业人士从事教学事业。与研究相联系的形成性评价是探索阻碍潜在新兵从事教学事业的障碍。调查的障碍包括对教师职业的常见误解、获得执照所需的时间、人口统计数据以及通常激励人们成为教师的因素的存在与否。作为UT3的一部分，助学金获得者保证有城市教学经验，有机会在该领域的大师教师的监督下进行实践，有机会通过社区服务在非正式环境中体验城市数学和科学教育，并参加将技术作为教学工具和探究作为有效教学策略的教学法课程。

Through a collaboration between the Colleges of Education and Arts & Sciences at the University of Toledo and the Toledo Public School district, ten $17,220 stipends per year are provided to 40 professionals who hold at least a B.S. degree in engineering, mathematics, or the sciences. Stipend recipients enroll in graduate level coursework that makes them eligible after two semesters for the Ohio Alternative Educator License, thereby expediting the number of highly qualified teachers entering the profession. Coursework applies towards a post-baccalaureate degree in Education. The University of Toledo Noyce stipends are annually doubling the number of math and science teacher candidates entering the teaching profession at the high school level. All stipend recipients join "UToledo. UTeach. UTouch the Future" (UT3), a program that provides an extensive pre-service clinical experience for math and science education students including mentoring, field experiences, comprehensive student support services, and induction support covering the first three years of teaching implemented through a collaboration between K-12 and university partners. The project is examining what motivates STEM professionals to pursue a teaching career. Formative evaluation linked with research is exploring the barriers that prevent potential recruits from pursuing a teaching career. Barriers investigated include the common misconceptions about the teaching profession, the amount of time needed to obtain licensure, demographic data, and the presence or absence of factors that commonly motivate a person to become a teacher. As part of UT3, stipend recipients are guaranteed an urban teaching experience, the opportunity to practice under the watch of master teachers in the field, the opportunity to experience urban math and science education in informal settings through community service, and enrollment in courses on pedagogy that incorporate both the use of technology as a teaching tool and inquiry as an effective teaching strategy.
