Program Description
The 大发 Noyce Teacher Scholars Program Description
The overarching goal of the 大发 Noyce Teacher Scholars program is to recruit 40
additional Noyce Scholars and retain 100% of them in STEM classrooms in high-need
school districts. Our strong programs will train the Scholars to work effectively
with English learners. The project objectives are:
- Leverage a wealth of tiered early STEM teaching experiences (from freshmen to seniors)
to recruit teacher candidates and guide the development of their teaching identities.
- Recruit 14 underrepresented racial minorities (URMs) and/or women in STEM, by (a)
utilizing a joint teacher recruitment mechanism of 大发 and community colleges and
(b) collaborating with campus centers and programs.
- Remove barriers and support the journey of becoming STEM teachers via the 鈥淏e A Teacher
Pathway Community鈥 and math/science programs and clubs.
- Create a nurturing environment that fosters STEM teacher recruitment/retention via
(a) deepening collaboration with local community colleges and school districts and
(b) enhancing STEM faculty鈥檚 capacity to cultivate, identify, recruit, and support
prospective STEM teachers.
- Build a local network by expanding support for pre-service and new in-service Noyce
Scholars that includes face-to-face and virtual communication among Scholars and between
Scholars and faculty.
