Michigan Tech Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。除了密歇根理工学院，该项目还包括萨吉诺谷州立大学，大峡谷州立大学，三角洲学院和大急流城社区学院以及两个学区：萨吉诺公立学校和大急流城公立学校。在该项目的五年课程中，24名科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM）本科生和12名职业转换者/STEM专业人员通过诺伊斯奖学金和相关活动获得支持，因为他们准备成为高需求中学的教师。 智力优势：作为他们任职前经验的一部分，学者们正在参加由STEM教师举办的特别相关研讨会，并在两所城市合作学校的密集实地经验期间获得两所合作大学之一的教师的支持。在他们将服务的高需求学校的前两年教学期间，诺伊斯学者将通过诺伊斯指导委员会在学校接受指导，该委员会由学校的一名导师，一名STEM教师和一名教师教育工作者组成。更广泛的影响：除了这一方案产生的教师将在他们所去的学区产生广泛影响外，这一项目还通过传播更广泛地加强教师的准备。方案评估旨在深入了解所采用战略的有效性，以便在其他环境中复制可行的方法。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).In addition to Michigan Technological Institution, this project includes Saginaw Valley State University, Grand Valley State University, Delta College, and Grand Rapids Community College and two school districts: Saginaw Public Schools and Grand Rapids Public Schools. Over the five year course of the project 24 science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) undergraduate students and 12 career changer/STEM professionals are being supported through Noyce scholarships and related activities as they prepare to be teachers in high needs secondary schools. Intellectual Merit: As part of their pre-service experience the Scholars are being engaged in special related seminars conducted by STEM faculty and receiving support from faculty at one of the two partner universities during their intense field experiences in the two urban partner schools. During the first two years of teaching in the high needs schools they will serve, the Noyce Scholars will be mentored in-school through a Noyce Mentoring Committee consisting of a mentor teacher from the school and a STEM faculty member and a teacher educator from one of the participating universities. Broader Impact: In addition to the broad impact the teachers produced by this program will provide in the school districts to which they go, this project is enhancing teacher preparation more broadly through its dissemination. The program evaluation is designed to provide insights into the effectiveness of the strategies being employed so that viable approaches can be replicated in other settings.
