The Phase I Robert Noyce Teacher Education Scholarship Program at Vassar College is recruiting, preparing, and certifying 14 high-achieving STEM majors to become K-12 science and mathematics teachers in high-need schools. The program builds on Vassar's rigorous undergraduate STEM programs, a teacher education program that emphasizes leadership, and well-established STEM outreach programs with local high-need schools. The Vassar Program includes four critical elements: scholarships for 14 high-achieving Vassar STEM majors during their junior and senior years and for completion of student teaching the fall following graduation; summer science education and research internships; pre-professional activities in partnership with high-need districts in the City of Poughkeepsie and Hyde Park, NY; and, support for early career professional development in collaboration with the Consortium for Excellence in Teacher Education. Vassar STEM faculty members and local K-12 STEM educators are mentoring the Noyce Scholars. This program is increasing the number of Vassar STEM majors entering K-12 STEM education in high-need districts, improving the quality of STEM education in those districts, and producing leaders in K-12 STEM education. These new teachers also motivate students from under-served groups to raise their educational aspirations, including the college-level study of mathematics and science. The program is designed as a model that can be replicated at predominantly undergraduate institutions with strong STEM programs and high-ability students with an interest in K-12 education in under-served communities, who typically leave the immediate area after graduation to teach in schools in large metropolitan areas.

瓦萨学院第一阶段罗伯特·诺伊斯教师教育奖学金计划正在招募、准备和认证 14 名成绩优异的 STEM 专业学生，以成为高需求学校的 K-12 科学和数学教师。该项目建立在瓦萨严格的本科 STEM 项目、强调领导力的教师教育项目以及与当地高需求学校合作的完善的 STEM 推广项目的基础上。瓦萨计划包括四个关键要素：为 14 名瓦萨 STEM 专业的高年级学生提供奖学金，并为毕业后秋季完成教学工作的学生提供奖学金；暑期科学教育和研究实习；与纽约州波基普西市和海德公园的高需求地区合作开展职业预科活动；与卓越教师教育联盟合作，支持早期职业专业发展。 瓦萨 STEM 教职人员和当地 K-12 STEM 教育工作者正在为诺伊斯学者提供指导。 该计划正在增加高需求地区进入 K-12 STEM 教育的瓦萨 STEM 专业学生的数量，提高这些地区 STEM 教育的质量，并培养 K-12 STEM 教育的领导者。这些新教师还激励来自服务不足群体的学生提高他们的教育愿望，包括大学水平的数学和科学学习。该项目被设计为一个模型，可以在拥有强大 STEM 项目的本科院校和对服务欠缺社区的 K-12 教育感兴趣的高能力学生复制，这些学生通常在毕业后离开附近地区到学校任教在大都市区。
