STEM Research Paper Presented at the American Educational Research Association April 29, 20175/8/2017 Using STEM Internships to Recruit and Retain Noyce Scholars in Elementary Educationby Saman Aryana, Jacqueline Leonard, Monica Mitchell, & Marina Lazic Paper Presented at the American Educational Research Association in San Antonio Texas, April 29, 2017 Abstract: In this paper, second-year results of a five-year National Science Foundation (NSF), Noyce Scholars project are presented. In Year 1, we recruited six interns to work in STEM summer programs as a recruitment tool to attract and retain STEM undergraduates to dual major in elementary education. They worked in a variety of STEM-related educational settings, and three became Noyce scholars. We were able to recruit 10 additional interns in Year 2; three chose to become Noyce scholars. This paper examines the supports and mentoring the scholars received, how the program and internship influenced the scholars’ self-efficacy in science and mathematics, and best practices to build supportive learning communities to retain STEM teacher candidates. Calling all STEM majors! Want to make a difference? Come and learn about our Noyce Scholarship programs (WITS & SWARMS)! These scholarships are geared towards junior, senior, and post-baccalaureate STEM majors interested in teaching elementary or secondary school. These scholarships will support tuition, fees, and other expenses. Free food and a chance to win a Chromebook! STEM Majors include SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, MATH When? WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2016 from 5-6 PM Where? UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING GEOLOGY MUSEUM See you there! P.S. Feel free to download and distribute this flyer: The WITS team will attend the Mathematics Education and Society conference in Portland, Oregon June 21-26, 2015.
