Noyce Mathematics and Science Teaching Scholarship Program at Siena College

锡耶纳学院的第一阶段罗伯特·诺伊斯教师教育奖学金计划招募、认证和保留了21名独特的高成就STEM专业的学生，让他们成为高需求的初中和高中的教师。在该项目的第二年、第三年和第四年，将选出七名新的诺伊斯奖学金获得者，并在他们的三年级和四年级提供2万美元的奖学金。来自几个STEM学科的许多教员参与了该项目。锡耶纳·诺伊斯奖学金计划受益于与斯克内克塔迪市学区和其他几所拥有大量高需求人口的当地学校的合作。该项目实施了一种以严格的研究型本科STEM项目为基础的队列战略。该计划实施了这样的观点，即STEM教师应该平衡真实科学的内容，这应该对特定专业的所有学生都是一样的，并在教育中进行实际准备。该模式还阐述并测试了STEM教育专业的研究经验和跨学科学习作为卓越教学基础的重要性。评估正在衡量吸引和留住学生、为他们在高需求学校任教做好准备以及留住他们担任教师的有效性。

The Phase I Robert Noyce Teacher Education Scholarship program at Siena College recruits, certifies, and retains twenty-one unique high-achieving STEM majors to become teachers in high-need middle and high schools. In years 2, 3, and 4 of the project, seven new Noyce Scholars are selected and supported in their junior and senior years with $20,000 scholarships. A number of faculty from several STEM disciplines participate in the project. The Siena Noyce Scholarship program benefits from partnership with the Schenectady City School District and several additional local schools that have significant high-need populations. The program implements a cohort strategy that builds on rigorous research-based undergraduate STEM programs. The program implements the viewpoint that STEM teachers should balance the content of authentic science, which should be the same for all students in a particular major, with practical preparation in education. The model also addresses and tests the importance of research experiences and interdisciplinary learning for STEM education majors as the basis for excellence in teaching. Assessments are measuring the effectiveness of attracting and retaining students, preparing them to teach in high-need schools, and retaining them as teachers.
