Highly qualified teachers are graduating from this program with a very strong foundation in both content and pedagogical knowledge. Given the unique and diverse environment New Mexico State University is situated in, the 21 Noyce Scholars are being provided with many opportunities to teach a diverse range of students in high-need areas and the Noyce Scholars are being recruited from under-represented groups, including Hispanics, Native Americans, African Americans, and women. Through education research this program is also adding to the knowledge and understanding of the development of science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge in a population of pre-service teachers who have received the majority of their content knowledge before their pedagogical preparation. A fuller understanding of the development of pedagogical content knowledge is being gained by following these teachers into the early years of their teaching careers.
