Montclair State University Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program

蒙特克莱尔州立大学(MSU)罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划正在为新泽西州高需求的K-12学区招聘、准备和支持30名新的科学教师。该项目将为生物、化学、地球科学和物理专业的初三和高年级学生提供相当于新泽西州学杂费的奖学金，这些学生在一年级或作为转校生被录取，随后被录取到教师教育计划中。PI团队正在通过从三所合作的社区学院招聘STEM专业的学生来促进科学教师群体的多样化：莫里斯县学院、埃塞克斯县学院和帕塞克县社区学院。诺伊斯学者参与了一项科学职业调查体验(SCSE)，该活动与当地生物技术、制药和制造业的大学合作伙伴以及全国著名的科学博物馆自由科学中心进行了协调。Noyce计划的SCSE部分的目的是培养高中理科课程内容目前如何在这些职业中使用的实用知识，期望这些经历将影响他们的教学。该项目还通过一个名为KIST(Knowledge In Science Education)的研究计划促进发现和理解。KIST项目正在研究个人如何在不同的课堂上教授中学科学，并检查科学教师在教师准备计划过程中和通过学生教学过程中教学内容知识的变化。

The Montclair State University (MSU) Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program is recruiting, preparing, and supporting 30 new science teachers for New Jersey's high-need K-12 school districts. The project is offering scholarships equal to the amount of New Jersey in-state tuition and fees to Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, and Physics majors in their junior and senior years who were recruited in their freshman or as transfer students and subsequently admitted into the Teacher Education Program. The PI team is promoting the diversification of the population of science teachers by recruiting STEM majors from three collaborating community colleges: the County College of Morris, Essex County College, and Passaic County Community College. The Noyce Scholars participate in a Science Career Survey Experience (SCSE) that is coordinated with university partners in local biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing industries, as well as The Liberty Science Center, a nationally renowned science museum. The purpose of the SCSE component of the Noyce program is to cultivate a working knowledge of the how the curricular content of high school science classes is currently used in these careers, and the expectation is that these experiences will influence their teaching.The project also advances discovery and understanding through a research program entitled Knowledge in Science Teaching (KiST). The KiST project is studying the way in which individuals learn to teach secondary science in diverse classrooms and examining changes in science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge over the course of the teacher preparation program and through student teaching.
