The CSUSM Noyce Teacher Scholars Program Description

The CSUSM Noyce Teacher Scholars program has four main objectives.

1. To support a total of 38 Noyce Scholars over a 5-year period. These Scholars
   will be CSUSM Mathematics or Science majors, and single subject mathematics
   or science credential candidates.
2. To develop and implement a STEM summer credential pathway that places
   students in paid internships during their credential year. As in the current
   credential program, this program will educate teacher candidates to use
   research-based effective practices to meet the needs of diverse learners
   and to develop deep understanding of the content.
3. To provide early teaching experiences in Learn-by-Doing educational
   laboratories in order to attract greater interest in teaching as a viable
   and intriguing career path for undergraduate mathematics and science
   students. CSUSM Noyce Teacher Scholars will take a lead role in directing
   these activities.
4. To retain CSUSM Noyce Teacher Scholars in underserved schools
   by providing early career teachers with support through a CSUSM Noyce
   Alumni networkand ongoing interactions with the Learn-by-Doing and CSUSM
   Learning Assistants centerpieces for this project.
