University of Kentucky NOYCE Fellows Program: New Opportunities Yielding Classroom Excellence

英国-创造卓越课堂的新机会（UK-NOYCE）数学和科学研究员计划正在招募高级科学、数学、工程和技术（STEM）专业的学生和STEM专业人士，通过肯塔基大学教育学院、工程学院和艺术与科学学院的合作努力，成为有资格的中学数学和科学教师。英国noyce计划的受奖人将在某些地区教授中学数学和科学，这些地区缺乏合格的数学和科学教师，因此符合高需求标准。52个有针对性的高需求地区通过正在进行的阿巴拉契亚数学科学伙伴关系和前阿巴拉契亚农村系统倡议与英国建立了长期伙伴关系。该计划的目标是：(1)吸引STEM学科的学生和实践专业人员进入中学数学和科学教育；(2)为这些学生提供旨在提高学业成功的综合支持服务，例如，教育学院、文理学院、工程学院和农业学院的合作咨询；(3)增加中等科学和数学教育专业的毕业生人数。实现这些目标的具体目标包括：(a)确保学者具有较高的学术能力，要求GPA达到3.0，并在整个项目参与过程中保持这一水平；(b)大力招募STEM学科中传统上代表性不足的群体（妇女、少数民族和残疾学生）加入UK-NOYCE奖学金计划；(c)鼓励所有UK-NOYCE学者在进入具有初步认证的中等教育文学硕士课程后的一个日历年内完成学位；(d)协助UK-NOYCE学者在肯塔基州（包括阿巴拉契亚）的目标地区获得中学教学职位。总共为高级和研究生提供40个研究金（至少25名新生）。MIC课程是一个为期一年的密集课程，可获得硕士学位和肯塔基州教师资格证书（8-12年级）。重点是强数学/科学背景内容。UK-NOYCE研究员是两个并行队列的成员：一个教学基础队列和一个数学或科学内容队列。一个跨学院的教师团队为学生设计和监督综合体验。伙伴学校为MIC参与者提供学徒经历。在对K-12数学和科学管道的影响方面，如果每个UK-NOYCE研究员平均有100名学生，那么每年将有超过4000名中学数学和科学学生接受高素质教师的教育，通过他们的内容准备和有效的教学方法，通过他们的职前教师培训，接受STEM的实际应用培训。

The UK-New Opportunities Yielding Classroom Excellence (UK-NOYCE) Mathematics and Science Fellows Program is recruiting senior science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (STEM) majors and STEM professionals to become credentialed secondary mathematics and science teachers through a collaborative effort by the College of Education, College of Engineering, and College of Arts and Science at the University of Kentucky. UK-NOYCE recipients are expected to teach secondary mathematics and sciences in selected districts which meet high need criteria because they lack qualified mathematics and science teachers. The 52 targeted high need districts have long-standing partnerships with UK through the ongoing Appalachian Math Science Partnership and former Appalachian Rural Systemic Initiative. The program objectives are to: (1) Attract students and practicing professionals in the STEM disciplines into Secondary Mathematics and Science Education; (2) Make available to these students an integrated range of support services designed to enhance academic success, for example, collaborative advising from the College of Education, College of Arts and Science, College of Engineering, and College of Agriculture; and (3) Increase the number of graduates in Secondary Science and Mathematics Education. Specific aims to achieve these objectives include: (a) Ensuring scholars are of high academic ability by requiring a GPA of 3.0, which is maintained throughout their participation in the program; (b) Making a strong effort to recruit traditionally underrepresented groups in the STEM disciplines (women, minorities, and disabled students) into the UK-NOYCE Scholarship Program; (c) Encouraging all UK-NOYCE scholars to complete their degrees within one calendar year of entering the Masters of Arts in Secondary Education with Initial Certification (MIC) program; and (d) Assisting UK-NOYCE scholars in obtaining Secondary teaching positions in the targeted regions of Kentucky (including Appalachia). In total, 40 fellowships (minimum 25 new students) are being provided for both senior and graduate level students. The MIC program is an intensive one calendar-year program that leads to both a master's degree and initial Kentucky teacher certification (grades 8-12). Emphasis is on strong math/science background content. The UK-NOYCE Fellows are members of two, concurrent cohorts: a pedagogical foundations cohort and a math or science content cohort. A cross-college team of faculty designs and supervises integrated experiences for students. Partner-schools provide apprenticeship experiences for MIC participants. In terms of the impact to the K-12 mathematics and science pipeline, if each UK-NOYCE Fellow has an average of 100 students, over 4000 secondary mathematics and science students will be educated each year by a highly qualified teacher trained in real-world applications of STEM through their content preparation and in effective pedagogy through their pre-service teacher training.
