Boise State University Noyce II: Trajectory to Teaching from Recruiting to Career

该二期项目共支持75名Noyce学者成为科学和数学教师。博伊西州立大学正在与考德威尔、瓦利尤、南帕、联合第二学区和博伊西市独立学区合作。该项目提供暑期实习机会，以激发STEM本科专业学生对STEM教学的兴趣，为完成教师准备课程的学生提供奖学金，并保持持续的专业发展，以确保诺伊斯校友的成功。Noyce的校友有机会参加专业会议、继续教育的学费援助、同伴指导和进入实践社区。这些项目活动伴随着一项严格的研究计划，该计划着眼于影响STEM教师教育多个阶段的因素。在Noyce I的数学教育结果的基础上，该项目还探索了化学和工程专业的co - pi对博伊西州立大学物理科学教育专业毕业人数的影响。该项目提供了一种模式，以全面地探讨教师准备和发展的多个阶段。研究和仪器开发有望为调查类似计划的有效性提供必要的框架和工具。

This Phase II project is supporting a total of 75 Noyce scholars to become science and mathematics teachers. Boise State University is partnering with the Caldwell, Vallivue, Nampa, Joint No.2 School Districts and the Independent School District of Boise City. The project is providing summer internships to spark STEM undergraduate majors interest in STEM teaching as a career, providing scholarships for students completing their teacher preparation curriculum, and sustaining ongoing professional development to assure Noyce alumni success. Noyce alumni are being provided with opportunities to attend professional conferences, tuition assistance for continuing education, peer mentoring, and access to communities of practice. These project activities are accompanied by a rigorous plan of research that looks at factors that influence the multiple stages of STEM teacher education. Building on the Noyce I results with mathematics education, this project is also exploring the influence that Co-PIs from chemistry and engineering have on the number of physical science education majors graduating from Boise State. The project is providing a model for holistically approaching the multiple stages of teacher preparation and development. The research and instrument development are expected to provide both a framework and the tools necessary to investigate the effectiveness of similar programs.
