Philadelphia Regional Noyce Partnership Scholarship Program

费城地区诺伊斯奖学金计划是圣约瑟夫大学的诺伊斯第一轨道奖学金和津贴项目。该项目将解决国家需要培养高效率的中学数学和科学教师，以便在高需求的城市环境中成功地从事教学工作的需要。费城地区的六所学院和大学将合作增加：(I)在费城地区高需求学校成为教师并坚持担任教师的STEM专业的人数；(Ii)Noyce学者对文化响应式教学实践的理解；以及(Iii)Noyce学者对可持续发展教育内容和教学实践的知识。该项目将培养新的STEM教师，这些教师来自生物、化学、数学和物理专业以及合作机构的学士学位后毕业生。诺伊斯学者将参加为期三年的学习社区工作，从他们服务前准备的最后一年开始，一直持续到他们的头两年教学。通过学者参与这些学习社区，他们将学习如何建立社交网络，以积极支持适应教师职业。学者们将使用基于可持续发展教育核心标准的教与学策略。此外，来自当地社区大学的24名学生将参加暑期实习计划，目的是增加他们在其中一所合作机构从事STEM教学工作的兴趣。该项目将向55名STEM专业本科生和STEM学士后毕业生颁发为期一年的诺伊斯奖学金。合作伙伴关系中授予奖学金的机构是阿卡迪亚大学、布林·莫尔学院、拉萨尔大学、圣约瑟夫大学和坦普尔大学。他们还加入了另外两个伙伴关系：费城社区学院和费城学区。通过将来自多个机构的学者聚集在一起，该项目将创建一个区域实践社区，能够吸引足够多的参与者，有助于形成一个强大的专业社会网络，并促进与文化相关和可持续发展的教育做法。该项目将调查这些支持在多大程度上有助于留住新的STEM教师，从而解决吸引准备充分的STEM教师到费城地区的迫切需求。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Philadelphia Regional Noyce Scholarship Program is a Noyce Track 1 Scholarships and Stipends project at Saint Joseph's University. The project will address the national need for preparing highly effective secondary mathematics and science teachers for successful teaching careers in high-need urban environments. Six colleges and universities in the Philadelphia region will collaborate to increase: (i) the number of STEM majors that become teachers in high-need schools in the Philadelphia region and who persist as teachers; (ii) Noyce scholars' understanding of Culturally Responsive Teaching practices; and (iii) Noyce scholars' knowledge of Education for Sustainability content and pedagogical practices. The project will produce new STEM teachers drawn from biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics majors and post-baccalaureates at the partnering institutions. Noyce scholars will participate in three years of learning community work, starting in their final year of pre-service preparation and continuing for their first two years of teaching. Through the scholars' participation in these learning communities, they will learn how to build social networks that will positively support acclimation to the teaching profession. Scholars will use teaching and learning strategies based on education for sustainability core standards. Additionally, twenty-four students from a local community college will take part in a summer internship program with the goal of increasing their interest in pursuing careers in STEM teaching at one of the partnering institutions. The project will award one-year Noyce scholarships to 55 undergraduate STEM majors and STEM post-baccalaureates. The scholarship granting institutions in the partnership are Arcadia University, Bryn Mawr College, La Salle University, Saint Joseph's University, and Temple University. They are joined in the project by two additional partnerships: the Community College of Philadelphia and the School District of Philadelphia. By bringing scholars from multiple institutions together, the project will create a regional community of practice that can engage a critical mass of participants, contribute to the formation of a robust professional social network, and foster culturally relevant and sustainability education practices. The project will investigate the degree to which these supports help retain new STEM teachers in the profession, resulting in addressing the critical need to attract well-prepared STEM teachers to the Philadelphia region.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
