Need

There is a need to train, place and retain qualified STEM teachers in high need school districts. This Noyce Track 4 effort studies various aspects of STEM teacher development in university programs to determine the impact of the Noyce scholarship programs.

Goals

The multi stage project is studying the varying levels of success in identifying and preparing Noyce Scholars for high need school districts and the change in demographics of the candidate pool during the process.

Approach

The overall mixed method approach includes inventory, survey and interviews. This poster presents preliminary findings from a literature review of evaluation reports and the programmatic inventory.

Outcomes

Findings show the importance of several aspects of the program to include, opportunities for reflection, mentoring, time spent in high need settings and professional development. Trends in demographics revealed higher attrition rate among minorities.

Broader Impacts

Our research project will provide information on various aspects during the development of Noyce Scholars in participating universities and the impact on placing and retaining STEM teachers in high need school districts.
