Technical Assistance to Increase the Competitiveness of Minority Institutions in the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program

少数民族优质教育网络正在举办两次年度提案制定讲习班，旨在提高几个少数民族服务机构对与诺伊斯教师奖学金方案有关的granstmanship机会的发展和认识。 个人研讨会包括来自15个有兴趣开发诺伊斯提案的MSI的两人团队。 诺伊斯计划和奖学金吸引并留住科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域的合格学生，并鼓励他们从事教学职业。 QEM研讨会为来自MSI的参与者提供关于其所需项目摘要的反馈，以帮助他们将其想法转化为具有竞争力的Noyce提案。反过来，参加研讨会的MSI使用诺伊斯奖作为加强教师教育计划的刺激，以培养最终将在高需求领域工作的高质量数学和科学教师。 MSIs是唯一有资格为高需求学校，特别是城市地区的学校解决招聘，保留和发展STEM教师的问题。 从这个意义上说，讲习班正在帮助发展更强大的MSIs，一般来说，和教师准备计划，具体来说，以满足国家对更有生产力的科学和技术劳动力的需求。

The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network is conducting two annual proposal development workshops aimed at increasing the development and awareness of granstmanship opportunities related to the Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program at several Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). Individual workshops include two person teams from each of 15 MSIs interested in developing a Noyce proposal. The Noyce program and scholarships attract and retain qualified students majoring in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields and encourages them to pursue a career in the teaching profession. The QEM workshops provide participants from MSIs feedback on their required project summaries to assist them in, among other things, developing their ideas into competitive Noyce proposals. In turn, the MSIs participating in the workshop use the Noyce award as a stimulus for strengthening their teacher education programs to produce high quality mathematics and science teachers who will eventually work in high-need areas. MSIs are uniquely qualified to address the issue of recruiting, retaining, and developing STEM teachers for high-need schools, especially in urban areas. In this sense, the workshops are helping to develop stronger MSIs, in general, and teacher preparation programs, specifically, to meet the nation's needs for a more productive science and technology workforce.
