The project aims to serve the national need of preparing high-quality mathematics and science teachers committed to teaching in high-need school districts across North Carolina to improve student outcomes. Districts across the state are experiencing critical teacher shortages, particularly in mathematics and science. Additionally, the demographics of teachers do not match the diversity of students. Research shows that students perform better when they are taught by a teacher who matches the demographic characteristics of students.This project at North Carolina State University (NC State) partners with the Wake County Public School System, North Carolina Central University, Wake Technical Community College, and the College of Sciences at NC State to recruit a diverse pool of scholars interested in becoming mathematics and science teachers. The program will select 21 scholars and provide them with learning experiences to deepen their understanding of the content they are teaching, as well as pedagogical strategies to engage students from diverse populations. Evaluation activities will provide insights into how the project prepares and retains beginning teachers. The project will also examine the institutional impacts of the project on the degree programs at NC State. By the time these 21 scholars have met their teaching service requirement, approximately 9,000 students in high-need districts will have the opportunity to receive mathematics and science instruction from these highly qualified teachers. Findings from evaluation efforts will be disseminated broadly through conference presentations and publications. 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 teachers to become STEM master teachers in high-need school districts. It also supports research on the effectiveness and retention 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培养高素质数学和科学教师的需求，致力于在北卡罗来纳州高需求学区进行教学，以提高学生的成绩。全州各地区都面临着教师严重短缺的问题，尤其是数学和科学领域。此外，教师的人口统计数据与学生的多样性不匹配。研究表明，当由符合学生人口特征的老师授课时，学生的表现会更好。北卡罗莱纳州立大学（北卡罗来纳州）的这个项目与韦克县公立学校系统、北卡罗莱纳中央大学、韦克技术社区学院合作和北卡罗来纳州立大学科学学院招募了一批有兴趣成为数学和科学教师的多元化学者。该计划将选择 21 名学者，为他们提供学习经验，以加深他们对所教内容的理解，并提供教学策略，以吸引来自不同人群的学生。评估活动将深入了解该项目如何准备和留住新教师。该项目还将研究该项目对北卡罗来纳州立大学学位课程的机构影响。当这21名学者满足他们的教学服务要求时，高需求地区的大约9,000名学生将有机会接受这些高素质教师的数学和科学指导。评估工作的结果将通过会议演讲和出版物广泛传播。此轨道 1：奖学金和津贴项目由罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划 (Noyce) 支持。诺伊斯计划支持有才华的 STEM 本科专业和专业人士成为高效的 K-12 STEM 教师，并支持经验丰富、堪称典范的 K-12 教师成为高需求学区的 STEM 大师级教师。它还支持有关高需求学区 K-12 STEM 教师的有效性和保留的研究。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
