Project Description

Full Project Title: The SDSU Noyce Mathematics & Science Master Teaching Fellowship Program: SDSU Noyce Fellows

Principal Investigators: Lisa Lamb, Randolph Philipp, Susan Nickerson, Donna Ross, Meredith Houle Vaughn, and Kathy Williams.   Funded by: National Science Foundation Grant 1240127 and Qualcomm, Inc. 

Finding inquiry-oriented mathematics and science teachers and helping them become even more effective was the goal of a San Diego State University program that was funded by the National Science Foundation and Qualcomm, Inc. in 2012. Over the next five years, 32 San Diego teachers participated in the SDSU Noyce Mathematics and Science Master-Teaching Fellowship Program, thanks to a unique collaboration between the public sector and the private sector, with $3 million awarded from the NSF and an additional $500,000 from Qualcomm.

Many thanks to the National Science Foundation for their support of this project. Thank you also to Qualcomm, Inc. for their generous gift to support this effort. These public-private commitments strengthen our work and allow us to support more teachers in productive ways.

Noyce Project LEARN at SDSEA

The science teachers in our Noyce Project Learn group presented at San Diego Science Educators Association (SDSEA) on March 1, 2014.  

On March 10, 2014, the SDSU Noyce Project Leaders hosted a reception and poster session for the Noyce Master Teaching Fellows, their school and district administrators, and the Deans of the College of Education and College of Sciences.  We were pleased to welcome 75 attendees. In preparation for the event, the Fellows shared some thoughts about the project, and we captured some of those sentiments on video. Watch the video below, and download the slides as a PDF that were shared at the reception.
