Xavier University Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program 2012-2017

泽维尔大学的罗伯特诺伊斯奖学金计划的重点是吸引社区服务为导向的科学，计算机科学和数学的学生在高中教学的职业生涯。 泽维尔正在为科学、计算机科学和数学专业的学生创造机会，包括辅导和暑期实习，向服务不足的城市学生教授科学、技术和数学内容。 它还通过修改所需的入门教育课程来加强泽维尔的教育计划，以纳入与基于资产的社区发展有关的理论，包括体验式学习和社区图尔斯之旅。 Xavier的Noyce计划提供三个切入点，以适应不同的决策过程：学生大三或大四的开始，或毕业后的第一年。 15名本科科学，计算机科学和数学专业的学生将获得为期两年的20，000美元奖学金，8名研究生将获得为期一年的全日制执照课程的20，000美元津贴。 该项目正在调查服务体验如何鼓励科学，计算机科学和数学专业的学生考虑教学，以及由于个人对服务的承诺而被吸引到教学中的学生是否更有可能在高需求地区取得成功，并在这些学校环境中停留更长时间。 它还在考虑哪些课程支持使教育许可证课程和实地工作与致力于社区参与的学生相关，以及哪些支持使新的科学，计算机科学和数学教师能够在高需求地区取得成功。 到2017年，该计划将使获得科学、计算机科学和数学教学许可证的泽维尔学生人数增加52%，有助于解决俄亥俄州和肯塔基州这些学科教师严重短缺的问题。

Xavier University's Robert Noyce Scholarship Program is focusing on attracting community service-oriented science, computer science, and mathematics students to careers in high school teaching. Xavier is creating opportunities, including tutoring and summer internships, for science, computer science, and mathematics majors to teach science, technology and mathematics content to underserved, urban students. It is also enhancing Xavier's education program by revising the required introductory education course to incorporate theories related to asset-based community development including experiential learning and neighborhood tours. Xavier's Noyce program is providing three points of entry to accommodate varying decision-making processes: the beginning of students' junior or senior year or in their first year after graduation. Fifteen undergraduate science, computer science, and mathematics majors are being awarded $20,000 scholarships for two years and eight graduate students are receiving $20,000 stipends for one full-time year of licensure courses. The project is investigating how service experiences can encourage science, computer science, and mathematics majors to consider teaching, and whether students who are attracted to teaching because of a personal commitment to service are more likely to be successful in high-need districts and stay in these school environments for longer periods. It is also considering what curricular supports make education licensure courses and field work relevant to students motivated by a commitment to community engagement, and what supports enable new science, computer science, and mathematics teachers to be successful in high needs districts. By 2017, the program will have increased the number of Xavier students attaining science, computer science, and mathematics teaching licensure by 52%, helping to address critical shortages of teachers of these subjects in Ohio and Kentucky.
