Partnership for Science and Math Teacher Education, 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。波特兰州立大学（PSU）罗伯特诺伊斯教师学者计划，第二阶段解决了关键的地方和国家需要扩大教师的人才库与科学内容的知识，教学技能和领导能力，以提高K-12科学教育。具体而言，该计划侧重于与社会经济地位，种族/文化背景，残疾和英语语言能力相关的成就差距。它提供了24奖学金的学生在PSU研究生教师教育计划在项目年。在第二阶段诺伊斯学者计划的参与是一个为期两年的承诺，最终在教学学位和俄勒冈州初始教学许可证授予科学硕士。 该计划强调使用以学生为中心和基于项目的学习实践，当前的教育技术，探究学习课程，持续评估的开发和使用以及英语有限语言（ELL）学生的识字策略的整合。该计划的总结评估产生了宝贵的数据，对教师教育的研究为基础的模式，包括与在职教师导师广泛的伙伴关系的优点。PSU Noyce计划的目标是最近的STEM毕业生和职业转换者，他们在高需求的K-12学校寻求高素质的科学教师。在第二阶段，该大学扩大了合作伙伴关系，包括在俄勒冈州三个最大的地区：比弗顿学区（BSD），希尔斯伯勒学区（HSD）和波特兰公立学区（PPS）。这些学区总共为K-12年级的101，000名学生提供服务，并被指定为高需求学区。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The Portland State University (PSU) Robert Noyce Teacher Scholars Program, Phase II addresses the critical local and national need to expand the talent pool of teachers with science content knowledge, pedagogical skills and leadership capacity to improve K-12 science education. Specifically this program focuses on achievement disparities associated with socioeconomic status, ethnic/cultural background, disability and English language proficiency. It provides 24 scholarships to the students in the PSU Graduate Teachers Education Program during the project years.Participation in the Phase II Noyce Scholars Program is a two-year commitment that culminates in the awarding of a Masters of Science in Teaching degree and an Oregon Initial Teaching License. The program emphasizes the use of student-centered and project-based learning practices, current educational technology, inquiry-learning curricula, the development and use of on-going assessment and the integration of literacy strategies for English Limited Language (ELL) students. The summary evaluation of this program yields valuable data on the merits of a research-based model for teacher education that includes an extensive partnership relationship with an in-service teacher mentor. The PSU Noyce program targets both recent STEM graduates and career changers who seek employment as highly qualified science teachers in high-need K-12 schools. In Phase II, the University expands the partnerships to include three of the largest districts in Oregon: Beaverton School District (BSD), Hillsboro School District (HSD) and Portland Public School District (PPS). These districts serve a combined total of 101,000 students in grades K-12 and are designated high-need school districts.
