Towson University Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法案》(Public Law 111-5)资助的。针对全国范围内对科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教育未来的担忧，汤森大学和马里兰大学系统正在努力增加新的STEM教师的数量，并降低新的STEM教师在短短几年后离开教师行业的比率。汤森大学的罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划就是为了解决这两个问题。该计划正在招聘未来的教师，并向20名精选的STEM领域的大三和大四学生颁发奖学金，这些大三和大四学生打算成为K-12教师。此外，该计划还向寻求获得STEM学科教师资格的10名STEM专业人员发放津贴。该计划旨在吸引高素质的学生，否则他们的经济需求可能会阻止他们进入教师培训阶段。诺伊斯的学者正准备在初中或高中教授数学、生物、物理、化学和地球空间科学等领域的课程。方案资金用于招聘活动、暑期方案、入职活动和监测/评估。奖学金和津贴获得者的选择针对的是那些最有可能在学术项目中取得成功并取得成功并因此继续从事教学事业的学生。该项目是道森大学科学与数学学院和教育学院与巴尔的摩市社区学院和巴尔的摩市公立学校系统合作的成果。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).Responding to a nationwide concern about the future of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, Towson University and the University System of Maryland are working to increase the number of new STEM teachers, and to decrease the rate at which new STEM teachers leave the teaching profession after just a few years. Towson University's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program is designed to address both issues. The program is recruiting prospective teachers and awarding scholarships to 20 select juniors and seniors who are majoring in STEM fields and who intend to become K-12 teachers. In addition, the program is awarding stipends to 10 STEM professionals who are seeking to become certified to teach in the STEM disciplines. The program is designed to attract high caliber students whose financial needs might otherwise prohibit their entry into teacher preparation. Noyce scholars are being prepared to teach either middle school or high school in the areas of mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, and earth-space science. Program funds are being used for recruitment activities, summer programs, induction activities and monitoring/evaluation. The selection of scholarship and stipend recipients is targeting those students who are most likely to succeed in the academic program and to flourish and, therefore, remain in a teaching career. This project is a collaborative effort of Towson University's College of Science and Mathematics and the College of Education, in partnership with Baltimore City Community College and the Baltimore City Public School System.
