Noyce Professional Engagement for Educators in Math & Science

31名生物教育和数学教育专业的学生在大三和大四期间获得了每年1万美元的奖学金。采用了招聘策略、职前培训和新教师留用策略方面的当前最佳做法。该计划还强调通过参加州和地区研讨会，尽早参与专业组织的专业参与。我们试图让学生尽早对教学产生兴趣，这样他们就可以围绕深入了解教学的本质和问题来塑造体验式学习。在Noyce项目导师的指导下，学生可以选择服务学习项目，实习或本科研究机会，以提高他们的教学意识。作为这项工作的一部分，每年有50名高中生被邀请参加为期三天的夏令营，目的是让他们参与并激励他们学习STEM专业，并可能从事教学工作。学生的教学和Noyce学者的服务义务的履行主要发生在Alpine， Nebo和Provo学区。这些高需求学区在招聘足够数量的合格数学和科学教师方面遇到了极大的困难。

Thirty one students in Biology Education and Mathematics Education programs are receiving annual scholarships of $10,000 during their junior and senior years. Current best practices in recruitment strategies, pre-service training, and retention strategies for new teachers are utilized. The program also emphasizes professional engagement by early involvement in professional organizations through attendance at state and regional workshops. An attempt is made to interest students in teaching as early as possible so that they can shape experiential learning around gaining insight into the nature and problems of teaching. Under the direction of a Noyce program mentor, students can choose service learning projects, internships, or undergraduate research opportunities to enhance their awareness of teaching. As part of the effort, fifty high school students annually are invited to attend a three day summer camp intended to involve and motivate them toward a STEM major and a possible career in teaching. Student teaching and fulfillment of the Noyce scholars' service obligations are primarily occurring in the Alpine, Nebo and Provo school districts. These high need school districts have been experiencing extreme difficulty in hiring sufficient number of qualified mathematics and science teachers.
