Abstract

The Carthage Noyce Scholarship Program (CNS) is intended to: (1) Triple the number of science majors who successfully complete secondary level teacher certification in the five years of the project compared to the five years prior. (2) Improve the quality of science teacher preparation by incorporating earlier clinical experience in science classrooms and in high need schools. (3) Increase partnerships with local schools and develop mutually beneficial collaborations.
To attract top STEM majors into teaching, the CNS hosts a fall colloquium series wherein secondary school science educators from local high need schools share their passion for teaching. A January Term Science Teaching Immersion and the Carthage Noyce Seminar provide STEM majors science teaching experiences in high need schools. Noyce scholars are required to perform undergraduate research in their STEM disciplines to equip them for modeling inquiry in their future classrooms. CNS has established a STEM Teaching Community of Practice that brings scholars, master teachers, and CNS team members together to address teaching challenges and to develop integrated STEM curricula.
