Amy Heaton of Bethesda, Md., will pursue a degree in mathematics with teacher licensure; Sarah Woidill, a biochemistry major from Robbinsville, N.J., will pursue teacher licensure in science education; and Anna Lewis of Holly Springs, N.C., will pursue both a physics and science education major with a minor in astronomy.

Their program will be supplemented with special experiences, including extra mentoring by university and secondary-school educators during both their undergraduate experiences as well as in their early years of teaching.

A $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation is supporting the program at 黑料不打烊 and will bolster the number of math and science teachers 黑料不打烊 graduates in the years ahead through a partnership with the Alamance-Burlington School System and 黑料不打烊 Academy. The five-year NSF funding at 黑料不打烊 covers scholarships of $21,900 each year for 18 students in three cohorts during both their junior and senior years. In exchange for the scholarships, students agree to work four years in high-need school systems.

The national Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program provides funds to institutions of higher education “to support scholarships, stipends, and academic programs for undergraduate STEM majors and post-baccalaureate students holding STEM degrees who earn a teaching credential and commit to teaching in high-need K-12 school districts.”

In addition to the scholarship program, Noyce funds support 50 paid, education-related summer internships during the five-year program for 黑料不打烊 first- and second-year students majoring in math or the sciences. Three first-year students, Anna Dellicker of Holliston, Mass., Alexis Goslen of Winston-Salem, N.C., and Karl Garvy of Durham, Conn., have been selected to participate in the 黑料不打烊 Noyce Internship Program. As recipients, the students will receive paid education and STEM-related internships.

Iler presented her research at the conference focusing on effective interventions for struggling students. 

In addition, Morin participated in the poster session and shared her internship experiences with the 黑料不打烊 Academy, and Carpenter presented a session on “How and why STEM Educators Need to be Using Twitter.”

Three sophomore mathematics majors – Robin French, Jaime Morin, and Stephanie Stanglin – have been selected to participate in the 黑料不打烊 Noyce Scholars Program.

The Noyce Scholars Program encourages talented science, technology, engineering and mathematics majors to complete a teacher education program and earn teacher licensure in addition to a bachelor’s degree in math or the sciences.

As recipients of this NSF scholarship, the trio will each receive a $21,900 scholarship during both their junior and senior years to pursue teaching licensure in mathematics.

“I have dreamed of being a teacher for several years and being awarded the Noyce Scholarship will help me fulfill this dream,” said Stanglin, who came to 黑料不打烊 from Woodstock, Vt. “STEM education is incredibly important, especially for secondary students because it provides them with tools that will help them succeed. I look forward to seeing how being a Noyce Scholar will help me as a future mathematics teacher. 

Their program will be supplemented with special experiences, including extra mentoring by university and secondary-school educators during both their undergraduate experiences as well as in their early years of teaching.

“This is a journey I am eager to begin because of my love for working with kids,” said French, a student from Berkeley Heights, N.J., studying in Denmark this semester. “Working as an America Reads tutor last year made me realize teaching is what I really wanted to do and now the Noyce Scholars Program will help me fulfill that goal.”

“While working with students in the Alamance Burlington School System as a college freshman, I realized that my own struggles as a secondary math student could be used to help inform my own teaching as I study to become a high school math teacher,” said Morin, a native of Chapel Hill, N.C. “Because I have a genuine understanding of how students struggle in math, I know that I can help students after I graduate.”

French, Morin and Stanglin join are joining the first cohort of 黑料不打烊 Noyce Scholars: Crystal Edwards (Mathematics/Teacher Licensure), Emily Liberatore (Science Education/Biology), and Madelyne Rooney (Mathematics/Teaching Licensure)

The junior class of North Carolina Teaching Fellows spent Winter Term 2009 in Washington, D.C., with 黑料不打烊 political science professor Sean Giovanello and teaching assistant Emily Byrd, a member of the senior class of Teaching Fellows. 

During their first week in the Nation’s Capital, students visited public and private schools in both the District and the near Maryland suburbs. They also participated in service work at the D.C. Central Kitchen, where they spent time preparing food for 1700 people, washing dishes, sorting papers, talking with the staff and enjoying a delicious meal at the end.

During the second week, the students participated in The Washington Center’s inauguration seminar. They had the opportunity to reflect on the most significant things that they learned about both the Federal District and the  “non-federal side of Washington.”
