Interested in earning a master's degree in teaching—with a paid internship? Graduate enrollment is now open for ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ's New York Noyce STEAM Pipeline Program. Seven scholarships are available for candidates applying for the 2021–2022 school year.
Beginning this May, the 13-month-long New York Noyce STEAM Pipeline/NSF Robert Noyce Program at ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ’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, ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ 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 ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ’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, ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ 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 ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ’s Manhattan Center. Learn more about the New York Noyce STEAM Pipeline Program and apply:Ìýadelphi.edu/steam-pipeline.
