help us evaluate the program and report to Congress
504 awards (S&S, TF/MTF, PL/CB) since 2002
More than 500 colleges and universities and over 1000 school districts in 50 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and DC.
Expected to produce about 12,054 new STEM teachers and 510 Master teachers who will be teaching in high need school districts throughout the country.

is in progresswill continue to be aligned with the legislation
Related efforts (e.g., PCASE K-12 report 2010, CCSS-M, NGSS, NSF Strategic Plan) provide us an opportunity to consider the features of the current structure that work very well and those that could be improved. Please let me know if you have opinions, but I make no promises!

Prepare and Inspire: K-12 Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) for America’s Future
PCAST Recommendation: “Recruit and train 100,000 great STEM teachers over the next decade who are able to prepare and inspire students.”
NSF 14-508 “100,000 new STEM middle and high school teachers who have strong majors in STEM fields and strong content-specific pedagogical preparation, by providing vigorous support for programs designed to produce such teachers.”
To prepare 100,000 science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) teachers with strong teaching skills and deep content knowledge (President Obama, 2011 State of the Union).

Noyce teacher preparation/certification programs are diverse but all include some specific preparation for teaching in high need schools
A majority of STEM faculty believe that STEM majors going into education are similar in ability to other STEM majors
Approximately 90% of the grantees reported that the Noyce funding had increased their ability to recruit students with STEM content degrees that are committed to working in high-need schools
School districts perceive that more high quality and diverse job candidates are being provided through the Noyce program

The proportion of Noyce scholars of color (33%) is higher than the proportion of teachers of color in the existing STEM teaching force (9-14% depending on subject and grade range)
Noyce scholars perceive that the most beneficial aspects of teacher preparation/certification programs include experiences in high need settings and ongoing support
Job satisfaction affects whether or not scholars stay in high need settings. Job satisfaction is influenced by the school’s administration, availability of supportive colleagues and the existence of a stimulating environment including leadership opportunities
Funding is important to all scholars for completing their preparation/certification and becoming teachersFunding is viewed as most influential by scholars who had not intended to teach until they heard about the scholarship;
Funding appears to be more influential in encouraging scholars to teach in high need schools than encouraging them to be teachers
Noyce funding at the program level has a positive influence on scholars’ perceptions of becoming teachers and teaching in high need schools

Current evaluation by Abt Associates:
Relationship among program characteristics, financial incentives, and teacher plans to enter or stay in teaching and to take on teacher leadership roles
Impact of the receipt of a Noyce grant on a higher education institution’s production of STEM certified teachers (teachers with degrees in STEM) who teach in high‐need districts
Pilot study to examine the impact of the program on student achievement.

Noyce ScholarUniversity of Arkansas
“Every morning that I walk into a classroom, I have the opportunity to teach young people how to be successful learners, thinkers, and members of the community. With every student I teach, I have the opportunity to broaden their view of the world and to instill in them a thirst for knowledge and understanding. This responsibility is both exciting and humbling.”
President Barack Obama 2011 State of the Union Address
“If you want to make a difference in the life of our nation; if you want to make a difference in the life of a child – become a teacher. Your country needs you.”

“If America is going to compete for the jobs and industries of tomorrow, we need to make sure our children are getting the best education possible. Teachers matter, and great teachers deserve our support.”
