This project aims to serve the national need for growing and diversifying the STEM teaching workforce. Specifically, this project will work with local community colleges to promote the entry and success of community college students in CalTeach, the University’s STEM teaching credential program. Within two years after transfer, the community college students will earn a Bachelor of Science degree and single subject teaching credential in mathematics or science. Supporting these students as Noyce Scholars will accelerate the pathway from community college to credentialed STEM teaching. The project will offer cross-enrollment opportunities in lower division CalTeach courses for community college students. It will also provide Noyce scholarships to transfer students in the CalTeach Program and support incoming transfer students through a week-long Summer STEM Research Institute for Future Teachers.This project at the University of California-Irvine is a collaboration between the Schools of Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Education, working in partnership with four local community colleges: Cerritos, Santa Ana, Mt. San Antonio, and Santiago Canyon. The Santa Ana Unified School District and the Unity Middle College High School and other area districts also serve as partner districts. Despite its diverse population, Southern California has some of the most inequitable and segregated school districts in the nation. The project’s main goals are to enable transfer students to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree and teaching credential in four years and to prepare and deploy K-12 teachers who reflect and understand the communities in which they teach. This program will support at least 24 pre-service teachers over five years. It has the potential to improve equity and access in Southern California’s school districts, to increase interest of students in STEM students, and place more highly effective teachers into in high-need schools. The project’s broader impacts include scholarships and an accelerated program to support undergraduate transfer students' pursuit of a teaching credential. In addition, it will place highly trained student teachers in high-need districts and increase the number of high-quality, credentialed teachers from underrepresented backgrounds. Project evaluation by external evaluators will determine whether the project meets its goals and whether the program can serve as a model for other institutions. This Track 1: Scholarships and Stipends project is supported through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce). The Noyce program supports talented STEM undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K-12 STEM teachers and experienced, exemplary K-12 STEM teachers to become STEM master teachers in high-need school districts. It also supports research on the persistence, retention, and effectiveness of K-12 STEM 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.

该项目旨在满足国家的发展和多样化STEM教学劳动力的需求。具体来说，该项目将与当地社区大学合作，以促进大学的STEM教学证书计划Calteach的社区大学生的进入和成功。转学后的两年内，社区大学生将获得数学或科学学士学位和单一学科教学学士学位。支持这些学生作为Noyce学者将加速从社区学院到凭证STEM教学的道路。该项目将为社区大学生的下级Calteach课程提供跨销售机会。它还将提供Noyce奖学金，以通过为期一周的夏季STEM研究所为未来教师提供教学学生，并支持传入的转学学生。加州大学 - 艾尔文分校的项目是与四个当地社区Colleges合作的生物科学，物理科学和教育学校之间的合作：Cerritos：Cerritos，Santa anaa and。圣安娜统一学区和Unity中学高中和其他地区地区也是合作伙伴区。尽管有潜水员的人口，但南加州还是美国一些最不平衡，最隔离的学区。该项目的主要目标是使转学学生能够在四年内毕业，并在四年内教授证书，并准备和部署K-12教师，他们反映和理解他们教授的社区。该计划将在五年内至少支持至少24名职前教师。它有可能提高南加州学区的股权和获得，以增加学生对STEM学生的兴趣，并将更有效的教师放入高需求的学校。该项目的更广泛的影响包括学校和一项加速计划，以支持本科教学学生追求教学证书的计划。此外，它将在高需求的地区培养训练有素的学生教师，并增加来自代表性不足的背景不足的高质量，有资格的教师的数量。外部评估者的项目评估将确定该项目是否符合其目标，以及该计划是否可以作为其他机构的模型。这首歌1：奖学金和津贴项目得到了罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划（NOYCE）的支持。 NOYCE计划支持才华横溢的STEM本科专业和专业人士成为有效的K-12 STEM老师，并经验丰富的K-12 STEM老师成为高需求学区的STEM大师教师。它还支持有关K-12 STEM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，并使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，认为通过评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
