MISSION STATEMENT & SCHOLAR COMMITMENT
COMMITTED PASSIONATE
COMMUNITY BUILDING
Noyce Scholars will benefit from a professional learning community of university professors, K-12 teachers, mathematicians, scientists, professional educators and mentors who can provide training, support and boost confidence both academically and professionally. They will collaborate with other pre-service teachers who aspire to become the most highly qualified STEM educators in California.
Scholar commitment to teaching will be amplified and motivated through enhanced professional development. Meetings and workshops will allow them to encourage each other in their teaching aspirations and share ideas and concerns.
Scholars will blossom with the common desire to bring to life the wonder of science & math to future students in a safe and exciting learning environment where a love for knowledge and respect for others will be role-modeled.
