Goals

•Develop an understanding of the ways that a teacher preparation program is addressing preparation of STEM Teachers for rural assignments•Generate ideas for preparing pre-service teachers and supporting early career teachers for rural placements•Construct a “why” statement for a thriving and teaching in a rural community

Evidence

Over the years that FHSU has granted Noyce scholarships to STEM students thirty-nine teachers have been placed in mostly rural districts. Of these thirty-seven are still teaching for a 95% retention rate.

Proposal

Fort Hays State University offers a Noyce scholarship program to help science and mathematics teacher candidates transition from student to teacher in a rural setting. In this session, we will describe the program and focus on the needs of teaching science and mathematics in a rural setting as we help candidates develop an understanding of the unique challenges and benefits of living and teaching in a rural community. Participants will have opportunities to discuss questions and engage in interactive problem solving to consider solutions for the rural teacher workforce as they consider their “why?” teaching in rural places is an amazing opportunity.
