This Track 1 Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship project aims to recruit and prepare 21 undergraduate physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics majors to become secondary science and mathematics teachers. Led by Alabama A&M University (AAMU), a historically Black College and University, the project is well-positioned to prepare students from under-represented groups to teach in high-need learning environments in northern Alabama. Achieving this goal will also help meet a national need to diversify the teaching workforce. The goals of the Those Who Can Teach project are to: (1) increase the pool of highly-qualified science and mathematics teachers working in high-need schools, including high-need rural schools in northern Alabama; (2) improve recruitment and retention efforts of STEM majors as secondary teachers; (3) implement a challenging curriculum to ensure Noyce Scholars are competent in content, pedagogy, and cultural diversity; and (4) support project participants to ensure their success during their pre-service and induction periods. Selected first- and second year students will participate in a week-long teaching-focused internship, with the goal of increasing their interest in teaching and in the Noyce Scholars program. Noyce Scholars will receive scholarship support in their junior and senior years, and induction support once they are teaching. Scholars will be required to teach for two years in high-needs school districts for each year of scholarship support. The Those Who Can Teach project will focus on placing Noyce Scholars in partnering school districts, to teach in schools where critical teacher shortages in science and mathematics have been identified.Three Alabama community college partners, Calhoun Community College, Lawson State Community College, and Drake State Community College will collaborate with AAMU to recruit and place 21 undergraduate STEM Scholars in secondary science and mathematics classrooms. Working closely with the Admissions Office, Freshman Academy, and the Registrar's Office at AAMU and the community college partners, the project will identify enrolled first-year, second-year, and transfer students who are majoring in STEM disciplines. Targeted robust recruitment strategies, including social media, will be used to attract STEM majors into teaching careers. The project intends to award 50% of the scholarships to community college transfer students. For Scholars who complete the teacher preparation program and certification requirements, the project will help them obtain employment in high-need schools in partnering school districts (Huntsville City, Madison County, and Limestone County). The Those Who Can Teach project expects that its program evaluation efforts will provide a deeper understanding of how STEM students can be placed on a path to teaching. By working with community college partners and school districts, the project may be able to establish a pathway for STEM majors to become secondary teachers and to learn how project supports contributed to the retention and success of the 21 certified teacher Scholars. After successful project implementation, other communities experiencing a shortage of science and mathematics teachers may benefit from the strategies and approaches used to recruit, prepare, place, and support STEM majors on the pathway to teaching in secondary science and mathematics classrooms in high-need school districts.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这首歌1罗伯特·诺伊斯（Robert Noyce）教师奖学金项目旨在招募和准备21种本科物理学，化学，生物学和数学专业，以成为二级科学和数学教师。 该项目由历史悠久的黑人学院和大学的阿拉巴马州A＆M大学（AAMU）领导，旨在为来自代表性不足的团体的学生做好准备，以在阿拉巴马州北部的高需求学习环境中任教。实现这一目标还将有助于满足使教学劳动力多样化的国家需求。 那些可以教授项目的人的目标是：（1）增加在高需求学校（包括阿拉巴马州北部的高需求农村学校）工作的高度合格的科学和数学教师的库； （2）改善STEM专业作为中学教师的招聘和保留工作； （3）实施具有挑战性的课程，以确保Noyce学者在内容，教育学和文化多样性方面都有能力； （4）支持项目参与者，以确保他们在职前和入职期内的成功。 选定的一年级和二年级学生将参加为期一周的教学实习，目的是增加他们对教学和Noyce学者计划的兴趣。 Noyce学者将在大三和高年级中获得奖学金支持，并在教学后获得归纳支持。 学者将被要求在高需求学区任教两年，以获得奖学金支持。 The Those Who Can Teach project will focus on placing Noyce Scholars in partnering school districts, to teach in schools where critical teacher shortages in science and mathematics have been identified.Three Alabama community college partners, Calhoun Community College, Lawson State Community College, and Drake State Community College will collaborate with AAMU to recruit and place 21 undergraduate STEM Scholars in secondary science and mathematics classrooms. 该项目与招生办公室，新生学院和注册办公室和社区学院合作伙伴紧密合作，该项目将确定已入学的第一年，二年级和转学学生，并专业从事STEM学科的专业。 包括社交媒体在内的有针对性的强大招聘策略将用于吸引STEM专业的教学职业。 该项目打算将50％的奖学金授予社区大学转学学生。 对于完成教师准备计划和认证要求的学者，该项目将帮助他们在合作学区（Huntsville City，Madison County和Limestone County）的高需求学校获得工作。 那些可以教授项目的人期望其计划评估工作将对如何将STEM学生置于教学途径方面有更深入的了解。 通过与社区大学合作伙伴和学区合作，该项目可能能够为STEM专业的辅助教师建立途径，并了解如何为21名认证教师学者的保留和成功做出贡献的项目支持。 成功实施项目后，其他经历科学和数学老师短缺的社区可能会受益于招募，准备，位置，位置和支持STEM专业的策略和方法在中学科学和数学教室的高级教学途径上，这是NSF的法定任务和审查范围的范围。
