In 2010, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology called for the education of at least 100,000 new STEM middle and high school teachers with majors in STEM fields and strong content-specific pedagogical preparation. This project is responsive to that call, and will support the education of 16 teachers with majors in the disciplines of biology, chemistry, or physics, and education minors. Randolph Macon College will leverage an existing successful teacher-preparation program in which all of the pre-service teachers passed their STEM-related PRAXIS II examination and achieved employment. The Noyce program will attract students to careers in STEM education through targeted recruitment, with special emphasis placed upon recruiting underrepresented students. The local area encompasses multiple high-needs school districts, including the city of Richmond, Caroline County, and Petersburg, VA; these districts struggle to find qualified, certified STEM instructors.The Noyce scholars will gain experience working with youth from high-need school districts through field placements in local school districts, participation in a summer program designed to bring STEM education to students with high need, and seminar programs intended to give participants strategies to overcome challenges of working in a high-need school district. Program participants will receive dedicated induction support during their first years as STEM educators teaching in high-needs school districts; this support will include site visits, a stipend to fund classroom technology, monetary support for professional development, funds to travel back to the College to participate in a mentoring program for Noyce students still in residence, and the establishment of a social media group for Noyce participants to share their experiences and advice. The program will add to the broader base of knowledge on recruiting, training, and providing induction support to STEM educators by exploring the following topics: the effectiveness of targeted recruitment of STEM students, the effectiveness of financial incentive in attracting students to a Noyce program, how consistent field work effects teaching effectiveness, and the effect of endeavoring to create cohesive group dynamics on retention of Noyce Scholars. The project personnel will disseminate results of the Noyce program at various discipline-specific venues, allowing other institutions to adopt and adapt successful program strategies. The Noyce scholars will disseminate the results of their original scientific and educational research in the form of poster and oral presentations at professional conferences in the students' areas of discipline.

2010年，总统科学技术顾问委员会呼吁教育至少有100,000名新的STEM中学和高中教师在STEM领域和特定于内容特定的教学准备工作。该项目对该呼吁有反应，并将在生物学，化学或物理学和教育未成年人的学科中为16名教师提供教育。兰道夫·梅肯学院（Randolph Macon College）将利用现有的成功教师准备计划，其中所有职前教师通过了与STEM相关的Praxis II考试并获得了就业。 NOYCE计划将通过有针对性的招聘吸引学生从事STEM教育的职业，特别强调招募代表性不足的学生。当地包括多个高需求的学区，包括里士满市，卡罗琳县和弗吉尼亚州的彼得斯堡；这些地区很难找到合格的，经过认证的STEM讲师。Noyce学者将通过当地学区的实地安置，参与一项夏季计划，旨在将STEM教育带给有高需求的学生，并旨在为参与者提供参与者的策略，以使在高需求的学区中挑战挑战。计划参与者将在最初几年获得专门的入职支持，因为STEM教育者在高需求学区的教学；这种支持将包括现场访问，资助课堂技术资金的津贴，对专业发展的货币支持，回到大学的资金，参加居住在居住的Noyce学生的指导计划，以及为Noyce参与者建立社交媒体团体，以分享他们的经验和建议。该计划将通过探索以下主题来增加有关招聘，培训和为STEM教育者提供归纳支持的更广泛知识基础：有针对性的STEM学生的有效性，财务动机在吸引学生进入Noyce计划的有效性，吸引学生进入一项现场工作的一致性效果以及如何创造凝聚力的组合动力学的效果，而无需进行凝聚力的动力学努力。项目人员将在各个学科的特定地点传播NOYCE计划的结果，从而使其他机构能够采用并改编成功的计划策略。 Noyce学者将以海报和口头陈述的形式在学生学科领域的专业会议上以海报和口头介绍的形式传播其原始的科学和教育研究结果。
