SDSU's Noyce Programs
|
SDSU is committed to recruiting, selecting, and training a highly qualified and diverse
group of mathematics and science teachers in the region who support the learning of
every student who walks through their doors.
To that end, SDSU has been funded by the National Science Foundation to
(a) support experienced and effective teachers of mathematics and science to become
Noyce Master Teaching Fellows, and
(b) recruit and support strong undergraduate STEM majors to become effective mathematics
and science teachers. Learn more about Noyce Scholarships for Mathematics Teachers . Learn more about becoming a science teacher.
ATLUSAdvancing Teacher Leadership in Urban Schools Principal Investigators: Lisa Lamb, Susan Nickerson, Randolph Philipp, David Pullman, Donna Ross, Meredith Vaughn We are delighted to work with 21 extraordinary master teaching fellows from schools in SDSU’s geographic service region! They have been working hard with Dr. Joseph Johnson and Dr. Rupinder Boyd at the National Center for Urban School Transformation and with teacher leaders and previous Noyce Master Teaching Fellows Lenelle Wylie and Will Stuart. Get to know the Noyce Master Teaching Fellows! Get to know our Noyce Leadership Team! Learn more about some of our work by watching the video below.

What is the current state of science teaching? Science teachers…
TE 462 provides you the opportunity to explore a career in science teaching by (a) visiting classrooms of exemplary science teachers, (b) learning from an award-winning science teacher, and (c) experiencing the rewards of cultivating a passion for learning science. No commitment to becoming a teacher required. This course allows you to “dip your toe in the water” of teaching to see whether this career might be a good option for you. Chemistry and Physics Majors: Enroll in TE 462 and earn elective units in your major!
SDSU’s Noyce Scholar Navid Rakei shares what he’s been learning about teaching in this video: The course instructor for TE 462, Field Experience in Science Teaching, is Jeremiah Potter, an award-winning middle-school science teacher. See his invitation and brief description of the course: Apply for a science tutoring position in grades 6-12 classrooms today! Learn more about the SDSU Mathematics/Science Teacher Initiative, at https://education.sdsu.edu/stemed/msti For details/to apply, contact Fiona Lidell at [email protected] For more information about applying to SDSU’s teacher credential program, visit We seek prospective science teachers who are committed to learning how to teach science
to every child who comes into their classrooms, who are genuinely curious about teaching
and how children learn, and who understand that the credential program is but the
beginning of their journey as a teacher and that they as long as they continue to
teach, they will strive to continue to learn how to improve their practice of teaching.
Noyce Project LEARN at SDSEAThe science teachers in our Noyce Project Learn group presented at San Diego Science Educators Association (SDSEA) on March 1, 2014. Go to our Project LEARN at SDSEA page to find out more. 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. |

Many thanks to the National Science Foundation (#1240127) 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. Project DescriptionThe 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 and Qualcomm. Finding inquiry-oriented mathematics and science teachers and helping them become even more effective is the goal of a new San Diego State University program that was recently funded by the National Science Foundation and Qualcomm, Inc. Over the next five years, 32 San Diego teachers are participating 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.
