Noyce Mathematics Education Teaching Scholars II [Noyce METS II]

北卡罗来纳州州立大学正在通过诺伊斯数学教育教学学者II（METS II）计划为学术上有才华的数学专业提供14个新的奖学金，同时继续监测24名由以前的诺伊斯奖资助的诺伊斯（METS I）学者。 仿照非常成功的METS I计划，METS II计划为六名新的本科学者提供奖学金，其中一些是通过鼓励现有的数学教育专业学生攻读数学或统计学双学位来招募的。 Noyce METS II计划还招募了8名STEM专业人员，并鼓励他们参加三个硕士课程之一，以获得数学教学许可证。 学者们正在为北卡罗来纳州周边的高需求学校提供服务，包括威克、约翰斯顿、橙子、格兰维尔和李县的学校。该计划旨在有目的地发展强大的内容知识，教学内容知识和专业数学知识用于教学。 在某种程度上，该项目体现了这一点，包括在高需求的学校强制性的观察时间，使用双学位课程与强制性的丰富的课程，使用教学教练和实施强制性的1学分结构研讨会课程。 对诺伊斯METS计划的评估也确定了吸引、培养和留住多样化、高质量中学数学教师的战略。

North Carolina State University is providing 14 new scholarships to academically talented mathematics majors through the Noyce Mathematics Education Teaching Scholars II (METS II) program while continuing to monitor 24 current Noyce (METS I) scholars funded from a previous Noyce award. Modeled after the very successful METS I program, the METS II program is providing scholarships for six new undergraduate scholars, some of whom are recruited by encouraging existing Mathematics Education majors to pursue a double degree in Mathematics or Statistics. The Noyce METS II program also is recruiting eight STEM professionals and encouraging them to enroll in one of three masters programs that lead to a mathematics teaching license. Scholars are servicing surrounding high-needs schools in North Carolina including those in Wake, Johnston, Orange, Granville and Lee counties. The program is designed to purposefully develop strong content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge and specialized mathematical knowledge for teaching. In part, the project manifests this by including compulsory observational hours in high-needs schools, using double degree programs with compulsory mathematics-rich curricula, using instructional coaches and implementing a mandatory 1-credit hour structured seminar course. The evaluation of the Noyce METS program also is identifying strategies that lead to attracting, preparing and retaining diverse, high-quality secondary mathematics teachers.
