UM Noyce Scholars Program to Prepare Next Generation of Talented Mathematics Teachers
A new grant from the National Science Foundation will support the formation of the UM Noyce Scholars Program, a comprehensive teacher preparation and recruitment effort aimed at attracting and preparing a talented, diverse cohort of UM students to effectively teach mathematics in high needs middle and high schools.
Dr. Lawrence Clark, Principal Investigator stated, “We want to create opportunities to generate excitement around teaching mathematics…The Noyce Scholars Program will foster a new generation of teachers who are well prepared, energetic, and committed.”
The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program seeks to encourage talented science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors and professionals to become K-12 mathematics and science teachers. The University of Maryland was awarded a $1.2 million grant to create the scholarship program for the College Park campus (see more).
