Noyce Scholars and Interns Program at the University of Portland

波特兰大学的诺伊斯学者和实习生项目是大学文理学院、希利工程学院、教育学院、莫罗服务和领导中心、星期六学院和波特兰公立学校之间的全面合作。该计划正在增加从大学MAT课程毕业的训练有素的K-12 STEM教师的数量，他们在高需求的学校任教。诺伊斯实习生在周六学院为2-12年级的学生上课时担任助教。诺伊斯学者是STEM专业，其中至少25%是数学，工程和计算机科学专业，以及正在接受培训的职业改变STEM专业人士，他们将通过教育成为致力于社会正义的反思教师。诺伊斯学者在高需求学校担任两年教师，每年获得奖学金。该项目有8名MAT学者，16名诺伊斯学者，还支持24名暑期实习生。通过评估，该计划正在帮助STEM和教育教师确定有效的策略和做法，以招聘和支持STEM专业和STEM专业人士，他们将成为K-12教师。首席研究员（PI）和共同PI在国家和地区STEM和STEM教育会议上介绍该计划的制定和实施以及吸取的经验教训，以帮助同行机构建立类似的计划。该项目正在解决波特兰公立学校系统对训练有素的STEM教育工作者的迫切需求，加强波特兰大学和波特兰公立学校部门之间的联系，并支持太平洋西北地区的STEM教学社区。

The Noyce Scholars and Interns Program at the University of Portland is a comprehensive partnership between the University's College of Arts and Sciences, the Shiley School of Engineering, the School of Education, the Moreau Center for Service and Leadership, Saturday Academy, and Portland Public Schools. The program is increasing the number of highly-trained K-12 STEM teachers graduating from the MAT program at the University who teach in high-needs schools. Noyce Interns are working as teaching assistants in Saturday Academy classes for students in grades 2-12. Noyce Scholars are STEM majors, at least 25% of whom are mathematics, engineering, and computer science majors, and career-changing STEM professionals who are being trained to be reflective teachers dedicated to social justice through education. Noyce Scholars are serving two years as teachers in high-needs schools for each year of scholarship. The project has 8 MAT scholars, 16 Noyce scholars and also supports 24 summer interns. Through assessment, the program is helping STEM and Education faculty determine effective strategies and practices for recruiting and supporting STEM majors and STEM professionals who work to become K-12 teachers. The principal investigator (PI) and Co-PIs are presenting the development and implementation of the program, as well as lessons learned, at national and regional STEM and STEM education conferences in order to help peer institutions set up similar programs. The project is addressing a critical need for highly-trained STEM educators in the Portland Public School system, strengthening ties between divisions of the University of Portland and Portland Public Schools, and bolstering the STEM teaching community in the Pacific Northwest.
