Faculty at the College of William & Mary have received $1.2 million from the National Science Foundation to recruit and place 33 STEM teachers in high-need school districts.
The funding is an extension of the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program at William & Mary. The Noyce Program is an NSF initiative to meet the need for K-12 STEM teachers in U.S. schools by encouraging science and math majors in colleges and universities to consider a career in grades 6-12 education.
The NSF funding will prepare and place teachers in Newport News, Hampton, Gloucester, New Kent, York and Williamsburg-James City school districts.
William & Mary’s NSF Noyce Program is a partnership between William & Mary’s School of Education, STEM departments and Office of Community Engagement.
