SF State Noyce Fellowship

Fellowship Requirements

For each year of the grant, all 10 SFSU Noyce Fellows will engage in activities that are designed to support their pathway into full time secondary science or math teaching.  The program for the fellows is structured around collaboration, leadership, and inquiry into the practice of teaching and learning science and math.

All Noyce Fellows will participate in a shared core program: a special Noyce Seminar and full membership in the CSME Fellow Program. The undergraduate Noyce Fellows will take the recommended coursework for pre-service STEM teachers and serve in special internships. Credential year Noyce Fellows will take the normal credential coursework with additional assignments and with special school placements.

Scholarship recipients are required to teach two-years at ANY school in a high need school district for each year of scholarship accepted. The directors of the program will assist scholarship recipients in finding jobs in these districts and will help prepare recipients for their jobs in high need school districts. The term "high need" means a local educational agency that serves an elementary or secondary school located in an area in which there is:

• a high percentage of individuals from families with incomes below the poverty line;
• a high percentage of secondary school teachers not teaching in the content area in which the teachers were trained to teach; OR
• a high teacher turnover rate.
