With support from the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce), the Southeastern Regional Noyce Conference aims to serve the national need of strengthening the network of STEM preservice teachers, early career teachers, and STEM teacher educators. The project has the potential to advance teachers' STEM content knowledge, as well as their knowledge of effective teaching practices. This professional development can help the teachers better meet the needs of their students. The conference can also contribute to the efficacy of Noyce projects and the ability of the awardees to sustain the activities beyond the award period. The conference will include activities that address vital concerns of early career educators in mathematics and science, including infusing STEM concepts into the curriculum and understanding of diverse needs and cultural competency. The conference will engage participants in professional development specific to the needs of their content area. Additionally, the conference will provide opportunities for community development and mentorship, and thus have the potential to promote teaching improvement and psychosocial wellbeing among early career educators. The Southeastern Regional Noyce Conference, hosted by the University of South Alabama, aims to provide participants with a deeper understanding of the content and pedagogy that supports STEM learning for students from low-resourced and high poverty areas, resulting in empowering participants to meet the needs of all students. Each year of the three-year project, the conference will serve approximately 300 members of the Noyce community. Ongoing project activities that will supplement conference efforts include research experiences for regional Noyce scholars and in-service teachers, formation of a community of Noyce regional PIs and scholars/fellows through the Noyce buddy program, and cultural competence and awareness professional development. The Southeast region includes 10 states: Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee. Potential benefits to society include equipping Noyce scholars with knowledge and experiences, as they develop into teachers, so that they can improve the educational experiences of thousands of children. The Noyce program supports talented STEM undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K-12 STEM teachers in high-need school districts and experienced, exemplary K-12 STEM teachers to become STEM master teachers. It also supports research on the persistence, retention, and effectiveness of K-12 teachers 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.

在罗伯特·诺伊斯（Robert Noyce）教师奖学金计划（NOYCE）的支持下，东南地区NOYCE会议旨在满足国家需求，以加强STEM前职教师，早期职业教师和STEM教师教育工作者的网络。该项目有潜力推进教师的STEM内容知识，以及他们对有效教学实践的知识。 这种专业发展可以帮助老师更好地满足学生的需求。 会议还可以促进Noyce项目的功效以及获奖者维持颁奖典礼以后的活动的能力。会议将包括解决早期职业教育者在数学和科学方面的重要关注的活动，包括将STEM概念注入课程以及对各种需求和文化能力的理解中。该会议将与参与者参与其内容领域需求的专业发展。此外，会议将为社区发展和指导提供机会，因此有潜力促进早期职业教育者的教学改善和社会心理健康。由南阿拉巴马大学主持的东南地区NOYCE会议旨在为参与者提供对内容和教学法的更深入的了解，这些内容和教学法支持来自低资源和高贫困地区的学生的STEM学习，从而赋予参与者能够满足所有学生的需求。每年为期三年的项目，会议将为Noyce社区的大约300名成员提供服务。正在进行的将补充会议努力的项目活动包括为区域Noyce学者和服务教师提供的研究经验，通过Noyce Buddy计划组成了Noyce地区PIS和学者/研究员的社区，以及文化能力和意识专业发展。东南地区包括10个州：阿拉巴马州，密西西比州，路易斯安那州，乔治亚州，佛罗里达州，南卡罗来纳州，北卡罗来纳州，弗吉尼亚州和田纳西州。社会的潜在好处包括将Noyce学者带入知识和经验，以便他们发展成为教师，以便他们可以改善成千上万儿童的教育经验。 NOYCE计划支持有才华的STEM本科专业和专业人士成为高需求学区的有效K-12 STEM老师，并经验丰富的K-12 STEM老师成为STEM大师教师。它还支持有关K-12教师在高需求学区的持久性，保留和有效性的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
