For the 2013-2014 school year, the U.S. Department of Education identified statewide shortages of Mathematics and Science teachers in Oklahoma, continuing the pattern of shortages in at least one of these disciplines that has recurred annually for the past two decades. This Noyce Scholarship program at Oral Roberts University, Math and Science Scholarships for Teaching (MASST), will produce 26 highly qualified secondary math or science teachers from STEM disciplines who commit to teaching in a secondary high-need school. The project will partner with two of the largest school districts in the state of Oklahoma, Tulsa Public Schools, and Broken Arrow Public Schools, as well as the Tulsa Dream Center (a non-profit community center). MASST Scholars will receive research-based, specialized training in high-need pedagogy that will be in practice throughout matriculation as the Scholars participate in multiple early experiences in high-need educational settings. The program will also support internships for 32 STEM students recruited from both ORU and Tulsa Community College (TCC) who will closely work with high-need students at the Tulsa Dream Center. A community of teacher learners will serve as a support system for the Scholars once they graduate from ORU, providing curriculum and pedagogical support for the new teachers during their induction years. The MASST Program proposes to advance knowledge and understanding within STEM education by applying Hollins' research methodology to the secondary areas of science and mathematics to determine if the specialized training in structured dialogue with contextualized practice in high-need schools increases the length of time that graduates teach in high-need schools. Scholars from underrepresented populations will be recruited from current ORU STEM majors and from students at TCC, thereby broadening participation of underrepresented groups.

在2013-2014学年中，美国教育部确定了俄克拉荷马州的数学和科学教师的全州短缺，在过去二十年中，至少每年都在这些学科中，至少有一个在这些学科中的短缺模式。这项在罗伯茨大学（Roberts University），数学和科学教学奖学金（MASST）的NOYCE奖学金计划（MASST）将从STEM学科中生产26名高素质的中学数学或科学教师，他们致力于在中学高需求的学校中教学。该项目将与俄克拉荷马州，塔尔萨公立学校的两个最大的学区以及破碎的箭公立学校以及塔尔萨梦中心（非营利性社区中心）合作。 MASST学者将接受基于研究的高需求教学法的专业培训，这些培训将在整个入学过程中实践，因为学者们参与了高必要的教育环境的多种早期经验。该计划还将支持来自Oru和Tulsa社区学院（TCC）招募的32名STEM学生的实习，他们将与塔尔萨梦中心（Tulsa Dream Center）紧密合作。一旦教师学习者从Oru毕业后，他们将成为学者的支持系统，为新教师在入职时提供课程和教学支持。 MASST计划提议通过将Hollins的研究方法应用于科学和数学的次要领域来促进STEM教育中的知识和理解，以确定在结构化对话中的专门培训是否在高需求的学校中具有情境化实践的专业培训增加了毕业生在高需求学校中教授的时间长度。来自当前人口不足的人群的学者将从现任的Oru STEM专业和TCC的学生中招募，从而扩大了代表性不足的群体的参与。
