Need
The Noyce Teacher Scholarship Phase I program (NEST) will increase the number of highly qualified STEM teachers in high need school districts in Brooklyn and the New York metropolitan area. This will help students learn more about Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Goals
The goal for this project is to increase the number of highly qualified STEM teachers in high need school districts in Brooklyn and the New York metropolitan area. Key activities will include NOYCE scholarships where students will become licensed STEM teachers.
Approach
The goal is to increase the number of highly qualified STEM teachers in high need school districts in Brooklyn and the New York metropolitan area. NOYCE scholarships will help teachers become licensed STEM teachers. Details will be explained in the poster.
Outcomes
The five year program will produce a total of 20 new STEM teachers and create a new STEM teacher preparation pathway for the critically underpowered STEM teaching force in New York City.
Broader Impacts
Students in Brooklyn and the NYC area will be taught by teachers who have a strong STEM background. The NOYCE Project also maximizes support for STEM students who wish to enter the teaching profession in STEM disciplines and serve their communities.
