MSUB Robert Noyce Scholarship Track Phase 1

蒙大拿州州立大学比林斯提供罗伯特诺伊斯奖学金和中学科学和数学教师候选人的独特培训，以准备他们有效地提供内容在文化敏感的方式为高需求，有时，不情愿的学习者。这项工作的重点是提供18名高素质的教师（12名本科生和6名职业转换者）为高需求的蒙大拿州农村学区或附近的美国印第安人保留地，那里的数据显示，STEM专业的入学率较低。六名本科生将在第一年和第二年获得奖学金。三名专业人员将在第一年和第二年获得奖学金。 使用基于实践的国家科学标准，嵌入基于探究的学习教学法，这个诺伊斯奖学金轨道第一阶段项目培训教师参与中学生的方法，保持学生的兴趣和动力，继续STEM学习。这些培训方法对其他农村情况具有广泛的适用性，并将为这些农村学校的学生发展成为STEM专业的更强大的管道。该mccessor教师培训计划建立在六个独特的数学和科学课程，结合诺伊斯教师队列研讨会，重点是不情愿的学习者的需求。以前的研究表明，美国印第安人保留地或附近的学生需要与STEM科目建立更大的文化联系，该项目正在培训教师以新的方式构建教学，以帮助建立这种联系。这是该项目的重要智力贡献。为了帮助确保诺伊斯毕业生在他们的教学生涯开始时取得成功，这个项目在他们最初的几年里使用经过专门培训的成功教练和持续的专业发展来指导他们。

Montana State University Billings is providing Robert Noyce scholarships and unique training for secondary science and mathematics teacher candidates to prepare them to effectively deliver content in a culturally sensitive manner for high-need and sometimes, reluctant learners. This effort is focused on providing 18 highly qualified teachers (12 undergraduates and 6 career changers) for high-need rural Montana school districts on or near American Indian reservations, where data shows low matriculation rates for STEM majors. Six undergraduates will receive schorships in year 1 and 6 in year 2. Three professionals will receive scholarships in year 1 and 3 in year 2. Using state science standards based on practices that embed inquiry-based learning pedagogy, this Noyce Scholarship Track Phase I project trains teachers to engage secondary students with methods that keep the students interested and motivated to continue STEM learning. These training methods have broad applicability to other rural situations and will develop a stronger pipeline of students from these rural schools to become STEM majors. The MSUB teacher-training program builds on six unique courses in mathematics and sciences in combination with a Noyce teacher cohort seminar that focuses on the needs of reluctant learners. Previous research suggests that students on or near American Indian reservations need greater cultural connections with STEM subjects and this program is training teachers to frame instruction in new ways to help make this connection. This is an important intellectual contribution from this project. To help ensure that the Noyce graduates succeed at the beginning of their teaching career, this project mentors them during their initial years of teaching using specially trained success coaches and continuing professional development.
