Drexel University Robert Noyce Scholarhip Program- Phase II

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。德雷克塞尔大学诺伊斯奖学金第二阶段项目与费城学区合作，使来自社区的30名科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）职业中期专业人士能够获得他们需要的证书在费城的高需求学校教授数学和科学。由于这些学校有很大比例的低收入（80%）学生和高素质的教师短缺，高质量的教学是至关重要的。该计划的目标是：1）招聘具有强大内容准备的STEM职业中期专业人员，他们致力于在高需求的城市地区教学; 2）提供内容知识，技术整合，教学内容知识和有关城市教育问题的知识的强大准备，特别是因为它们与高需求学校的教学有关;（3）提供精心设计的现场辅导和上岗培训，并以教师用品的形式提供资源，在课堂上支持教师;（4）强调招聘少数群体和残疾人;（5）确保遵守教学要求; 6）继续支持和监督诺伊斯学者从以前的第一阶段诺伊斯奖;和7）增加学生的数量从合作学校在德雷克塞尔谁可能会看到教学作为一个可行的职业选择数学和科学专业。该项目有助于了解监测教师业绩的有效方法和指导工作的方式。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(Public Law 111-5). The Drexel University Noyce Scholarship Phase II project, in partnership with the School District of Philadelphia, is enabling 30 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) mid-career professionals from the community to earn the credentials they need to teach mathematics and science in Philadelphia's high need schools. Because these schools have a large proportion of low-income (80%) student populations and shortages of highly qualified teachers, the need for high quality instruction is critical. The program objectives are to 1) Recruit STEM mid-career professionals with strong content preparation who are dedicated to teaching in high need urban districts; 2) Provide strong preparation in content knowledge, technology integration, pedagogical content knowledge and knowledge about urban education issues especially as they pertain to teaching in high need schools; 3) Provide onsite well-designed mentoring and induction and resources in the form of teacher supplies to support teachers in the classroom; 4) Emphasize recruitment of minorities and persons with disabilities; 5) Ensure compliance to the teaching requirement; 6) Continue to support and monitor Noyce scholars from the previous Phase I Noyce award; and 7) Increase the number of students from partnering schools at Drexel who may see teaching as a viable career choice for mathematics and science majors. The project is contributing to the knowledge about effective ways of monitoring teacher performance and how mentoring works.
