The National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Scholarship Program awarded a $1.2 million grant to a collaborative team at SIUE representing the School of Education Health and Human Behavior, College of Arts and Sciences, and the Center for STEM Research, Education, and Outreach. Built around a self efficacy framework, our specialized curriculum includes mentoring meetings where scholars network with highly qualified STEM educators exploring topics such as student motivation and time management. Scholars gain research experience in their STEM disciplines and participate in intensive teaching experiences that place them in high-needs schools prior to student teaching. An internship component provides informal teaching experience, serving as a recruiting tool for the scholarship program.
