This Capacity Building proposal for Noyce Scholarships develops strategies for attracting majors in science and mathematics to the teacher licensure programs at Montana State University Billings (MSUB). The goal of this project is to recruit current STEM majors and help them become successful licensed teachers in Montana's high-need school districts, especially those located on or near reservation schools and suffering from high teacher turnover and sub-standard student achievement. The Capacity Building phase examines the feasibility of redesigning specific courses to make them more appropriate for teaching students in high-needs schools. The use of blended learning will be analyzed as a delivery strategy, both to facilitate learning by teacher candidates and to model innovative instructional strategies for high-needs districts. Implementation of this proposal lays the groundwork for recruiting STEM teachers to serve in high-needs school districts as indicated by high teacher turnover and sub-standard student achievement. Because retention of teachers in high-needs schools is a continuing problem, this phase also creates a network of mentor teachers to assist Noyce scholars in their induction years as teachers.This Capacity Building proposal is leading to the development of a Phase I proposal to recruit about 15 prospective teacher candidates as Noyce scholars. The projected long-term effect of this proposal is to increase the number of qualified STEM teachers for high-needs school districts in Montana and, through induction support, improve teacher retention rates in these school districts.

该Noyce奖学金的该能力建设建议制定了吸引科学和数学专业的策略，以进入蒙大拿州立大学Billings（MSUB）的教师许可计划。该项目的目的是招募当前的STEM专业，并帮助他们成为蒙大拿州高需求学区的成功执照教师，尤其是位于预订学校或附近的那些学区，并遭受了高教师的离职和不合格的学生成就。 能力建设阶段检查了重新设计特定课程的可行性，以使其更适合教高需求学校的学生。 混合学习的使用将被分析为一种交付策略，既可以促进教师候选人的学习，又要为高需求地区的创新教学策略建模。该提案的实施为招募STEM教师在高需求学区服务的基础是基础，如高教师流动和不合格的学生成就所表明的那样。由于在高需求学校中的教师保留是一个持续的问题，因此此阶段还建立了一个导师教师网络，以帮助Noyce学者作为教师的入职年份。这项能力建设的建议导致I阶段的提案发展，以招募约15名前瞻性教师候选人作为Noyce Scholars。该提案的长期影响是增加蒙大拿州高需求学区的合格STEM教师的数量，并通过归纳支持，提高这些学区的教师保留率。
