Need

SDSU’s Noyce Science Scholars participate in a 2-day trip to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles during their credential program. The experience is designed to support future educators to advance anti-bias education and promote the creation of inclusive and equitable schools.
The project supports both Interns and Scholars. Interns take part in a guided, paid internship in SDSU’s science camp for grades 2-8 students. Scholars are secondary science-credential candidates who receive $10,000 stipends and engage in a newly designed cohort for STEM-Credential students in SDSU’s strong, effective teacher-preparation program. Scholars are placed in classrooms of SDSU’s extraordinary Noyce Master Teaching Fellows, who serve as guide teachers and mentors. Thus, Scholars are enculturated into the teaching community with San Diego’s most effective teachers. They continue to receive strong support and mentoring from the Noyce Master Teaching Fellows during their first 3 years of teaching.

Goals

SDSU’s Noyce Science Scholars participate in a 2-day trip to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles during their credential program. The experience is designed to support future educators to advance anti-bias education and promote the creation of inclusive and equitable schools.
This Track 1 project has a goal to recruit a select group of high-achieving and diverse science majors into science teaching and provide support, through research-based learning experiences, to develop the recipients? science content knowledge and teaching practices, and to nurture their enthusiasm for teaching by developing caring perspectives toward students.

Approach

Project leaders will investigate the processes of recruiting and supporting science majors to become teachers (Interns and Scholars), and will investigate the support for the Scholars’ first years of teaching. This Track 1 Noyce program will provide great synergy with SDSU’s recently funded Track 2 Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship program; the Noyce Master Teaching Fellows will support the Noyce Scholars? learning, and the opportunities for the Fellows to support the Noyce Scholars will provide sites for Fellows to emerge into teacher leaders. Each program will thus enhance and be enhanced by the other.

Outcomes

The project outcomes are to recruit a select group of high-achieving and diverse science majors into science teaching and provide support, through research-based learning experiences, to develop the recipients’ science content knowledge and teaching practices, and to nurture their enthusiasm for teaching by developing caring perspectives toward students.

Broader Impacts

The project will support the recruitment and development of strong, effective science teachers. Noyce Interns and Scholars will be recruited from SDSU?s highly diverse student population (a Hispanic-serving Institution) with the goal of broadening participation of high-achieving and underrepresented students into science-teaching careers. Noyce Interns will work at SDSU’s science camp for grades 2?8 students. Interns will receive extensive training and formal reflective experiences to supplement their engagement with science, and children. SDSU’s teacher-credential programs provide opportunities to develop not only strong teachers in general, but strong STEM teachers in particular. Noyce Scholars will learn in a STEM-focused teaching cohort with all coursework specifically designed for STEM teachers. This new infrastructure within SDSU’s educational offerings will have long-lasting benefits for SDSU?s science teacher-credential candidates, who will in turn reach thousands of students.
