Robert Noyce Scholarships at Trinity University

三一大学有一个全国认可的M.A.T.项目，该项目使用学徒制模式培养教师，这种模式扎根于研究。该计划培养出高素质的教师，然后通过与地区学校的密切合作来培养他们。诺伊斯奖学金项目正在为三一学院这个强大且不断增长的数学和科学教育项目带来必要的经济援助。在Noyce之前的支持下，三一大学的M.A.T.项目使获得BS/MAT和教师资格证书的STEM专业毕业生数量翻了一番。在第二阶段诺伊斯奖的支持下，M.A.T.项目每年向5-8名学生颁发15,000美元的奖学金，从而获得另外20名STEM教师的认证。该计划还每年向STEM专业的新生和对教育感兴趣的大二和大三学生授予4个暑期实习机会。实习选项包括帮助教员为当地圣安东尼奥学校的外展活动编写材料，在向上跳跃计划中辅导，以及与STEM教员一起做研究学徒。通过网络和印刷传播方式招生，大学和地方学院的招生活动，以及“城市教育的政策和实践”这一新的教育课程，都得到了STEM顾问、职业顾问和资助工作人员关于Noyce计划的持续教育的支持。在提交申请、推荐信和经过几次面试后，诺伊斯奖学金获得者是根据GPA、推荐信和面试证明的智力和教学潜力以及候选人成为圣安东尼奥地区学校学生有效榜样的能力来挑选的。所有诺伊斯学者都被分配了STEM教员和教育教员导师。在教学的头三年，他们的STEM和教育系教师导师继续提供支持，特别是通过支持小组和为新教师举办的暑期讲习班。一项新的入职支持计划还为科学和数学教师提供课堂辅导。扩大和扩大的评估工作侧重于计划实施的关键方面，如招聘、教师质量和学生成绩分析，以及影响诺伊斯学者留任教师的因素，特别是在高需求学校。圣安东尼奥的K-12学生已经从圣三一训练有素的教师的质量和稳定性中受益；罗伯特·诺伊斯项目正在STEM学科领域显著扩大这些好处。通过提高圣安东尼奥地区数学和科学教师的数量和质量，圣安东尼奥大学的罗伯特·诺伊斯项目正在产生以下影响：为西班牙裔入学率高(高达90%)的城市高需求K-12学校提供更好的STEM教学；降低STEM学科的外教率(目前估计在高贫困学校高达40%)；提高初任科学和数学教师的保留率；以及选择从事教学工作的有才华的科学家和数学家的数量增加。在圣安东尼奥的高需求学校，对利邦培养的那种高素质教师领袖的需求非常迫切。

Trinity University has a nationally recognized M.A.T. program that uses an apprenticeship model for teacher preparation that is firmly grounded in research. The program produces high-quality teachers and then nurtures them by partnering closely with area schools. The Noyce scholarship program is bringing a necessary financial aid component to this strong and growing program in math and science education at Trinity. With prior Noyce support, Trinity University's M.A.T. program doubled the number of STEM majors graduating with a combined BS/MAT and teacher certification. With support from this Phase 2 Noyce award, the M.A.T. program is awarding scholarships of $15,000 to 5-8 students per year, resulting in certification of 20 additional STEM teachers. The program is also awarding 4 summer internships per year to rising sophomores and juniors majoring in STEM and with an expressed interest in education. Internship options include helping faculty to develop materials for outreach activities in local San Antonio schools, tutoring in an Upward Bound program, and research apprenticeships with STEM faculty. Recruitment of students via web and print communication, recruitment events at the university and local colleges, and a new education course in "Policy and Practice in Urban Education" is bolstered by ongoing education of STEM advisors, career counselors and financial aid staff about the Noyce program. After submitting an application, letters of reference and undergoing several interviews, Noyce Scholars are selected based on GPA, intellectual and pedagogical potential as evidenced by references and interviews, and the candidate's ability to be an effective role model for students in San Antonio area schools. All Noyce Scholars are assigned both STEM faculty and Education faculty mentors. During the first three years of teaching, their STEM and Education faculty mentors continue to provide support, particularly through support groups and summer workshops for new teachers. A new induction support program also provides in-class coaching to science and math teachers. Expanded and extended evaluation efforts are focusing on such critical aspects of program implementation as recruitment, analysis of teacher quality and student achievement, and factors that affect Noyce scholars' retention as teachers, particularly in high needs schools. San Antonio's K-12 students already benefit intellectually from the quality and stability of Trinity's well-prepared teachers; the Robert Noyce program is expanding these benefits significantly in the area of the STEM disciplines. By increasing both the quantity and quality of math and science teachers in the San Antonio area, the Robert Noyce program at Trinity is having the following impacts: better STEM instruction for urban high-need K-12 schools with high (up to 90%) Hispanic enrollment; a reduced rate of out-of-field teaching in STEM disciplines (currently estimated to be as high as 40% in high-poverty schools); an improved retention rate for beginning science and math teachers; and an increase in the number of talented scientists and mathematicians who opt for careers in teaching. The need for the kind of high-quality teacher-leaders that Trinity produces is acute in San Antonio's high-need schools.
