Noyce: Preparing Excellence and Diversity in Secondary Mathematics Teachers for Illinois' High Needs Schools

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。伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校（UIUC）课程与教学系和数学系向39名学生颁发诺伊斯奖学金，其中包括24名数学专业本科生和15名攻读数学二级教学认证课程的研究生。该项目服务的学区包括Champaign、Urbana、Decatur和Danville等小城市地区，以及Tolono、Rantoul和Mahomet等农村地区。诺伊斯伊利诺斯项目结合了严格的数学和教育课程，并与公平领域的领先教师进行了广泛的互动，并对边缘化学生进行了有效的数学教学。它提供早期实地体验和学生在高需求学区的教学实习，并有针对性地提供学习和应用最新理论和前沿实践的机会，以支持边缘化学生在21世纪学习数学。K12 STEM教育项目的暑期实习是为未来的诺伊斯学者提供的招聘策略。每月的Noyce研讨会侧重于现场问题，对课程作业的反思，高需求学校教学所需的技能以及课堂教学的视频示例。诺伊斯学者有机会参加由伊利诺伊大学工程学院、农业和经济科学学院、文科和理科学院以及UI扩展学院运营的特别丰富和多样化的夏季充实项目。诺伊斯伊利诺斯采用正式的机制来支持诺伊斯毕业生和校园团体之间的持续互动，以及专业发展会议和在线指导，以支持毕业生第一年的教学。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The Department of Curriculum and Instruction and the Department of Mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) are awarding Noyce Scholarships to 39 students, including 24 undergraduate mathematics majors and 15 postbaccalaureate students, enrolled in programs leading to secondary teaching certification in mathematics. School districts served by the project include the small urban districts of Champaign, Urbana, Decatur, and Danville as well as rural districts in Tolono, Rantoul, and Mahomet. The Noyce Illinois program combines a rigorous mathematics and education curriculum with extensive interaction with leading faculty in the area of equity and effective mathematics teaching of marginalized students. It offers early field experiences and student teaching placements in high needs school districts, supported by targeted opportunities to learn and apply the latest theories and cutting-edge practices for supporting marginalized students to learn mathematics in the 21st century. Summer internships in K12 STEM education programs are offered as a recruitment strategy for prospective Noyce Scholars. A monthly Noyce Seminar focuses on problems from the field, reflection on coursework, the skills needed for teaching in high needs schools, and video examples of classroom teaching. Noyce Scholars have access to the particularly rich and diverse array of summer enrichment programs operated by the University of Illinois across the Colleges of Engineering, Agricultural and Economic Sciences, Liberal Arts and Sciences, as well as UI Extension. Noyce Illinois incorporates formalized mechanisms to support ongoing interactions among Noyce graduates and campus groups as well as professional development sessions and online mentoring geared to support graduates in their first year of teaching.
