With funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program, Noyce@FGCU is recruiting undergraduate STEM majors in Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Engineering and preparing them to become grades 6-12 Science or Math teachers. The project will fund 19 Scholars over 5-years. In this project, the Colleges of Education and Arts and Sciences of Florida Gulf Coast University are collaborating with the districts of Lee, Hendry, Glades, Charlotte, and Collier counties in southwest Florida. Primary objectives of Noyce@FGCU include 1) Increase the number of STEM classroom teachers for grades 6-12, 2) Increase the success of Noyce@FGCU classroom teachers, and 3) Support teacher certification of Noyce@FGCU scholars. Elements of the program include: --A) A robust, two-tier recruitment strategy that recruits under-represented urban and rural minority and first generation college students and area high school students. Areas of recruitment include: a) a Learning Assistant program, b) TRIO programming for STEM majors, c) under-served population recruitment in high schools, d) service-learning opportunities in 6-12 classrooms, e) visits to introductory STEM classrooms, and f) advisement seminars and brochures,--B) Pre-service enrichment in the form of workshops, conferences, and summer STEM experiences bridging the junior to senior year; --C) Pre-service mentoring, courses, and state test preparation; --D) A first-year in-service COE FGCU coaching program; and --E) Specific efforts to prepare the Scholars for teaching in high needs schools.Assessment activities will include efforts to assess specific components of their project , success of recruitment efforts in terms of: the strength of the partnerships they develop with recruiting targets such as high needs schools within the area and key departments and offices within the university; the numbers, diversity, scholarship and devotion to service among the applicants they attract, the Scholars reaction to enrichment activities and mentoring services offered; and the quality of the Scholars efforts during their first years of teaching as concerns the use of effective teaching practices and sensitivity to measures to engage the diverse set of students they will work with. Mixed methods including surveys, interviews and focus groups as well as observation of the Scholars in action will be used as assessment/evaluation tools at both the formative and summative stages of the project.

在国家科学基金会的罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划的资助下，noyce@fgcu正在招募生物学，化学，数学和工程学的本科生专业，并准备成为6至12年级的科学或数学老师。该项目将在5年内为19名学者提供资金。在这个项目中，佛罗里达墨西哥湾海岸大学的教育与艺术与科学学院正在与佛罗里达州西南部的李，亨德里，格拉德斯，夏洛特和科利尔县合作。 Noyce@fgcu的主要目标包括1）增加6 - 12年级的STEM课堂老师的数量，2）增加Noyce@fgcu课堂老师的成功，3）支持Noyce@fgcu学者的教师认证。该计划的要素包括： - a）强大的两层招聘策略，招募了代表性不足的城市和农村少数民族以及第一代大学生以及地区高中生。 Areas of recruitment include: a) a Learning Assistant program, b) TRIO programming for STEM majors, c) under-served population recruitment in high schools, d) service-learning opportunities in 6-12 classrooms, e) visits to introductory STEM classrooms, and f) advisement seminars and brochures,--B) Pre-service enrichment in the form of workshops, conferences, and summer STEM experiences bridging the junior to senior year; -C）职前指导，课程和州测试准备； - -D）第一年的COE FGCU教练计划；和 - e）为学者准备高需求的学者的具体努力。评估活动将包括评估其项目的特定组成部分的努力，招聘成功的成功，以：他们与招聘目标（如诸如大学内部地区，主要部门和大学内部的主要部门）建立的合作伙伴关系的实力；在他们吸引的申请人中为服务的人数，多样性，奖学金和奉献精神，学者对丰富活动和指导服务的反应；以及学者在教学的第一年中努力的质量涉及使用有效的教学实践和对措施的敏感性，以吸引与他们一起工作的各种学生。 在项目的形成性和总结阶段，包括调查，访谈和焦点小组以及对行动学者的观察的混合方法以及对行动中的学者的观察将被用作评估/评估工具。
