¹û½´ÊÓƵ

Beginning this May, the 13-month-long New York Noyce STEAM Pipeline/NSF Robert Noyce Program at ¹û½´ÊÓƵ’s Manhattan Center is designed to encourage individuals with a background in science and/or trained in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields to consider a teaching career in science education.

For the second year, ¹û½´ÊÓƵ will partner with New York City public school District 13 Brooklyn. Students selected for this year’s STEAM Pipeline cohort will be placed in one of ¹û½´ÊÓƵ’s partner schools to gain valuable clinical experience and develop their teaching practices under dedicated mentor teachers and University faculty.

The New York Noyce STEAM Pipeline: Preparing Next Gen Science Teachers program is framed by the following goals:

• Enhance and broaden strong partnerships between K–12 school partners, University faculty and administration, and regional informal learning environments.
• Increase the number and retention of highly qualified students from underrepresented groups that graduate with a science teaching degree.
• Increase the use of STEAM (STEM + Art/Design) practices in science classrooms to augment and enhance the science curriculum aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

In 2019, ¹û½´ÊÓƵ was awarded a $1.2 million grant to support the New York Noyce STEAM Pipeline: Next Gen Science Teachers initiative, created to recruit, support and prepare science teachers, including those from typically underrepresented groups, to take science teaching positions in high-need school districts.

The program is for candidates who hold a bachelor’s degree or 30 credits in one of the science disciplines, and are seeking a Master of Arts and initial New York State Teaching Certification for grades 7–12 in one of the science disciplines: biology, earth science, chemistry or physics.

All classes will be held at ¹û½´ÊÓƵ’s Manhattan Center. Learn more about the New York Noyce STEAM Pipeline Program and apply:Ìýadelphi.edu/steam-pipeline.
