Noyce Physics-Mathematics

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。中田纳西州立大学基础与应用科学学院将在5年内培养36名新的物理和数学中学教师。学生主修数学或物理，在其他学科完成30个学时，并被认证在田纳西州教授这两门学科。学生在基础和应用科学课程中获得深入的内容知识，这些课程由教师教授，这些教师采用了强有力的学科特定教学法。传统的课堂管理和教育心理学课程由教育部门提供。职前教师从大一开始，在主讲教师和优质课堂导师的指导下进行实践性的探究性教学，学习探究性实践的示范。精心挑选的大师教师和课堂导师确保职前学生接受严格和鼓舞人心的教学专业介绍。从学生进入项目的那一刻起，他们就与一位大师老师配对。这种关系将持续到他们的入职期。引导支持包括主教师的访问，一个分享问题的网站，寻找有助于他们教学的信息，如课程计划，潜在的课堂演讲者，以及实地考察的地点。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The College of Basic and Applied Sciences at Middle Tennessee State University is preparing 36 new physics and mathematics secondary teachers over 5 years. Students major in either math or physics, complete thirty semester hours in the other discipline, and are certified to teach both disciplines in the state of Tennessee. Students receive deep content knowledge in the basic and applied science courses taught by faculty that model strong discipline-specific pedagogy. Traditional classroom management and educational psychology courses are provided by the education department. Starting in their freshman year, the pre-service teachers practice hands-on, inquiry-based teaching under the guidance of master teachers and quality classroom mentors, so they learn to model the practice of inquiry. Careful selection of the master teachers and classroom mentors ensure that the pre-service students receive a rigorous and inspiring introduction to the teaching profession. Students are paired with a master teacher from the moment they enter the program. This relationship continues through their induction period. Induction support includes visits from the master teacher, a website for sharing concerns and finding information that will aid their teaching such as lesson plans, potential classroom speakers, and sites for field trips.
