University of Virginia Robert Noyce Scholarship Program

培养更多高素质的科学教师服务于高需求学校是一项全国性的挑战。弗吉尼亚大学与汉普顿、亚历山大和卡尔佩珀学区合作，将实施罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金和津贴计划的第一阶段，该计划将招募、教育和留住学术上有才华的科学和工程本科生和STEM专业人员，他们将成为合作学区和弗吉尼亚州其他高需求学校的认证高中科学教师。诺伊斯奖学金和助学金获得者的教育经历将包括培养他们成为有效的科学教师，以及在K-12科学教学中整合工程设计的教师领导者。罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金和助学金获得者将通过一系列行之有效的策略得到支持，包括指导、有针对性的建议和入职支持。收集的数据将提供对工程设计在职前科学教师教育课程中的整合的见解，这可能导致教师教育计划的程序化变化。该项目将进行严格评估，以确定招聘和保留策略的有效性，并确定该项目对罗伯特·诺伊斯奖学金和助学金获得者的内容知识、教学实践和将工程设计融入科学教学的技能的影响。总体而言，该项目将有助于弗吉尼亚州高需求学校中合格的中学科学教师的数量，并将提高学生的科学成绩。

Developing more highly qualified science teachers to serve in high needs schools is a national challenge. The University of Virginia in partnership with Hampton, Alexandria, and Culpeper School Districts will implement Phase 1 of the Robert Noyce Scholarship and Stipend Program which will recruit, educate and retain academically talented science and engineering undergraduates and STEM professionals who will become certified high school science teachers in the partner school districts and other high-need schools in Virginia. The educational experience for Noyce Scholarship and Stipend recipients will include preparing them to become effective science teachers, and Teacher-Leaders in engineering design integration in K-12 science instruction. Robert Noyce Scholarship and Stipend recipients will be supported through a number of proven strategies, including mentoring, targeted advising, and induction support. Data will be collected to provide insights into the integration of engineering design in pre-service science teacher education courses, which may lead to programmatic changes in teacher education program. The project will be rigorously evaluated to determine the effectiveness of the recruitment and retention strategies and to determine the impact of the program on Robert Noyce Scholarship and Stipend recipients' content knowledge, instructional practices, and skills for integrating engineering design in science instruction. Overall, this project will contribute to the number of certified secondary science teachers in high-need schools in Virginia, and stands to increase student achievement in science.
