Texas Tech Noyce Scholars Programs

德克萨斯理工大学诺伊斯学者（TTNS）计划由德克萨斯理工大学（TTU）数学统计和化学生物化学系实施，为26名来自数学和化学专业的高水平本科生提供奖学金，为期两年的K-12教师准备经验。 学生参加与K-12教育相关的课程，每周在K-12学校学习10个小时。学生由致力于他们的教育发展的教师和教师指导，并提供长期的支持结构，以确保他们作为教师的持续成功。数学和科学学生的混合创造了一种协同作用，与TTU现有的综合课程相结合。此外，10个较低水平的本科生每年参加夏季K-12计划，旨在促进他们进入K-12中学教学生涯的诱导。这对那些代表性不足的群体的成员特别有帮助，否则他们可能不会考虑将教学作为一种职业。奖学金获得者必须在西德克萨斯州拉伯克独立学区（LISD）的高需求学校完成认证后任教四年，该学区有大量代表性不足的学生。 提供密集的指导。 该项目正在与科学教育与研究整合中心合作，该中心是TTU T-STEM计划的合作伙伴，该计划在准备和支持教师领导者方面取得了成功，他们是有效的教师，导师和课程开发者。利比里亚社会发展研究所的教育官员监督新教师的安置和留用。每年，参与者组成一个队列，这种模式被认为可以更成功地保留这些计划。正在研究和传播有效的辅导做法，以便在其他方案中推广。协调课程和K-12的经验，以紧张的环境，重点是辅导将给同伙的教师工作的真实的感觉，从而促进更高的保留水平在教学生涯。美国的学校在留住有效的数学和化学教师方面也面临着一个持续的问题。该计划正在开发一个模式支持系统，侧重于指导和合作，旨在提高这些人的前四年的教学经验。

The Texas Tech Noyce Scholars (TTNS) program, implemented by the Departments of Mathematics & Statistics and Chemistry & Biochemistry at Texas Tech University (TTU), is providing scholarships to 26 upper level undergraduate students from Mathematics and Chemistry majors for a two-year long K-12 teacher preparation experience. Students take courses related to K-12 education and spend 10 hours per week in K-12 schools. Students are mentored by faculty and teachers committed to their educational development and are provided with long term support structures to ensure their continued success as teachers. The mix of mathematics and science students creates a synergy that dovetails with existing integrated programs at TTU. In addition, ten lower level undergraduates participate each year in summer K-12 programs designed to facilitate their induction into K-12 secondary teaching careers. This is particularly helpful to members of underrepresented groups who may not otherwise have considered teaching as a career. Scholarship recipients must teach for four years following completion of their certification in high needs schools in Lubbock Independent School District (LISD) in West Texas, a district with large populations of underrepresented students. Intensive mentoring is provided. The project is collaborating with the Center for the Integration of Science Education and Research, a partner in the T-STEM initiative at TTU, which has an established record of success in preparing and supporting teacher leaders, who are effective teachers, mentors, and developers of curriculum. Education officials from LISD supervise the placement and retention of the new teachers. Each year the participants form a cohort, a model that is known to lead to more successful retention in such programs. Effective mentoring practices are being studied and disseminated for replication in other programs. Coordinating the coursework and K-12 experiences with an intense environment focused on mentoring will give the cohorts a real sense of the work of teachers, thus promoting higher retention levels in teaching careers. The nation's schools also face a continuing problem in retaining effective mathematics and chemistry teachers. This program is developing a model support system, focused on mentoring and collaboration, which is designed to enhance the first four years of teaching experiences of these individuals.
