The University of Houston is awarding twelve $10,000 scholarships each year to STEM majors and professionals seeking secondary teacher certification in Science and Mathematics, resulting in 60 new teachers for Houston area school districts. Undergraduate Noyce Scholars are enrolled in the teachHouston program while mid-career STEM professionals receiving Noyce stipends are enrolled in the ten-month Transition to Teaching certification program. A rigorous and innovative process is used to select scholars who demonstrate a passion for teaching, possess sufficient content knowledge and skill, and represent the diversity of University of Houston campus and the city of Houston. The objective is to recruit, prepare, and retain individuals with in depth STEM content knowledge as STEM teachers in underserved areas. By combining the evaluation of the Noyce candidates with the larger base provided by their teachHOUSTON and Transition to Teaching (TtT) cohorts, this program utilizes a mixed methods evaluation approach including both qualitative and sophisticated statistical techniques.The scholarships awarded through this project have the potential to benefit as many as 23 school districts in the Houston area as participants are assigned their field experiences in high need school districts. The project is providing additional opportunities for University of Houston researchers to design and evaluate instructional strategies for use in maintaining qualified teachers in STEM disciplines, conduct research on the effectiveness of these strategies, and disseminate research-based instructional products and findings to a national audience of educators, school administrators, service centers, business partners and political leaders. The instructional strategies allow STEM teachers to conduct research on the effectiveness of the instructional strategies that will be used for all levels of learners in urban, suburban, and rural schools.

休斯顿大学每年为STEM专业的专业人士和寻求辅助科学和数学教师认证的专业人士授予十二美元的奖学金，从而为休斯顿地区学区提供了60名新教师。本科生Noyce学者参加了Teachhouston计划，而接受Noyce津贴的中级STEM专业人员则参加了为期十个月的教学认证计划过渡。 一个严格而创新的过程用于选择对教学充满热情，拥有足够的内容知识和技能的热情的学者，并代表了休斯顿大学校园和休斯顿市的多样性。目的是招募，准备和保留具有深度STEM内容知识的个人，作为服务不足地区的STEM教师。通过将候选Noyce候选者的评估与他们的教学和教学过渡（TTT）同伙提供的较大基础相结合，该计划采用了一种混合方法评估方法，包括定性和精致的统计技术。通过该项目授予的奖学金。该项目授予该项目的奖学金有可能受益于在休斯顿领域的23个学区，他们的领域有很多领域的领域，他们的领域是他们的领域经验。 该项目为休斯顿大学研究人员提供了更多的机会，以设计和评估在STEM学科中维持合格教师的使用教学策略，对这些策略的有效性进行研究，并将基于研究的教学产品和发现传播给全国教育工作者，学校管理员，服务中心，商业中心，商业伙伴和政治伙伴的受众。教学策略使STEM教师能够对教学策略的有效性进行研究，这些策略将用于城市，郊区和农村学校的所有学习者。
