NebraskaMATH Omaha Noyce Partnership

在奥马哈公立学校（OPS）和内布拉斯加大学奥马哈分校（UNO）之间的合作伙伴关系中，Noyce奖学金第一阶段计划将解决国家对更多代表性不足的STEM人才的需求，他们追求教学事业。 该倡议是建立在两个机构正在进行的STEM教育倡议的势头。奥马哈诺伊斯伙伴关系代表了一个新的UNO倡议，该倡议与内布拉斯加州数学合作，致力于提高所有学生的数学成绩，并缩小高危人群的STEM成绩差距。Omaha Noyce Partnership将招募多样化的新教师，并提供急需的资金来支持经济困难的学生。该伙伴关系将加强和扩大UNO准备数学教师的管道，以更好地满足当地学区对教师的高需求，特别是在高需求学校的地区。 奥马哈诺伊斯伙伴关系奖学金计划旨在培养高技能的中学数学教师，他们致力于在高需求的学校教学，为学生提供有针对性的支持，并从UNO的数学/教师准备计划理学学士毕业。该计划包括新的课程，并补充了由UNO数学和教育学院与学区合作伙伴合作开发的现有途径。该项目的评估活动将为正在进行的合作研究举措提供信息和推动，这些举措与探究式学习在教授数学概念和培养学生成为有效的中学数学教师方面的有效性有关。所有由奥马哈诺伊斯伙伴关系支持的学生将参加这个新计划，并将在奥马哈公立学校接受重点培训和广泛的实地考察，为他们在高需求学校的教学生涯做好准备，包括基于探究的学习和其他文化的指导。

In a partnership between the Omaha Public Schools (OPS) and the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), this Noyce Scholarship Track Phase I program will address the national need for more underrepresented STEM talent who pursue careers in teaching. The initiative is building upon momentum from ongoing STEM Education initiatives at both institutions. The Omaha Noyce Partnership represents a new UNO initiative that aligns with NebraskaMATH, a statewide partnership that works to improve achievement in mathematics for all students and to narrow the STEM achievement gaps of at-risk populations. The Omaha Noyce Partnership will recruit a diverse pool of new teachers and provide much needed funding to support economically disadvantaged students. The partnership will strengthen and expand the pipeline for preparing mathematics teachers at UNO to better meet the high demand for teachers in local school districts, particularly in districts with high-need schools. The Omaha Noyce Partnership scholarship program is designed to develop highly skilled secondary mathematics teachers who are committed to teaching in high-need schools by providing targeted support for students enrolled in and graduating from UNO's Bachelor of Science in Mathematics/Teacher Preparation program. The program includes new coursework and complements existing pathways that were developed by the UNO mathematics and education faculty in collaboration with school district partners. The project's evaluation activities will inform and advance ongoing collaborative research initiatives related to the effectiveness of inquiry-based learning in teaching mathematical concepts and in preparing students to be effective secondary mathematics teachers. All of the students supported by the Omaha Noyce Partnership will be enrolled in this new program and will receive focused training and extensive fieldwork in the Omaha Public Schools to prepare them for teaching careers in high need schools, including instruction in inquiry-based learning and other culturally responsive pedagogies.
