Illinois State University Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program

该奖学金项目汇集了许多合作伙伴，为芝加哥公立学校合作招募、培训、雇用和引进40名新的数学、科学和技术教师。合作伙伴包括化学系、生物科学系、数学系和物理系；ISU教育学院，ISU数学科学与技术中心，芝加哥小村学校伙伴关系，以及芝加哥城市学院。该项目通过招募和培养新的STEM教师候选人，并资助他们参加现有的高质量ncate认可的教师准备认证项目，从而显著增加了pre -12教师的数量。目前正在向数学和科学领域的本科生提供16项奖学金，向学士学位后的学生提供24项津贴。此外，该项目还特别努力从芝加哥公立学校小村庄地区招募和支持代表性不足的少数民族人口进入教学行业。目前正在进行一项研究方案，对导致留存率、质量和学生成绩的特定城市职业模式的职前经验进行因素分析。这与该奖学金项目特别相关，并提供了具体的证据，证明了能够导致教师留任和学生在数学和科学方面取得成功的经验类型。此外，当与更大的ISU教师教育候选人人群进行比较时，该研究有望导致城市数学和科学教师准备的程序性变化和见解。

This scholarship program is bringing together a number of partners to cooperatively recruit, train, employ and induct 40 new math, science and technology teachers for the Chicago Public Schools. Partners include the Department of Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Mathematics, and Physics; The College of Education at ISU, The Center for Mathematics Science and Technology at ISU, the Little Village School Partnership of Chicago, and the City Colleges of Chicago. The project is significantly increasing the number of preK-12 teachers by recruiting and fostering new STEM teacher candidates, and financing their attendance for up to two years in existing high quality NCATE-accredited certification programs for teacher preparation. Sixteen scholarships for undergraduates and 24 stipends for post-baccalaureate students in the areas of math and science are being provided. In addition, the project is making particular efforts to recruit and support under-represented and minority populations from the Chicago Public Schools Little Village Area into the teaching professions. An ongoing research program is being conducted on a factor analysis of the pre-service experiences that lead to particular urban career patterns of retention, quality, and student achievement. This is of particular relevance for this scholarship program, and is providing specific evidence of the types of experiences which can lead to teacher retention, and student success in mathematics and science. Further, when comparisons are made with the greater ISU teacher education candidate population, the research is expected to lead to programmatic changes and insights in urban mathematics and science teacher preparation.
