PARTICIPATION REQUEST
You are receiving this participation request because we are interested in your perspectives on the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (Noyce Program), even if you have not been directly involved with the Noyce Program in the past. Projects funded by the Noyce Program may be called different names at different schools or institutions. Noyce Program projects focus on supporting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) teacher education/leadership and often pair STEM education students with local K-12 schools.
To support the National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) ongoing efforts, WhitworthKee Consulting (https://whitworthkee.com/) is conducting an evaluation of the Noyce Program with the following goals: (a) to understand overall perceptions of the Noyce Program and (b) to identify what is working well and opportunities for growth. This information will help support the overall goal of increasing diversity within the STEM teacher education field. In addition, NSF may use the information from this evaluation to inform other NSF or government agency efforts.
If you agree to participate, we will ask you to complete this questionnaire, which will take about 20 minutes, and may also invite you to participate in either an individual interview or a focus group at a later time. Note that even if you agree to complete this questionnaire, you can later choose to decline if you are invited to participate in an interview or focus group.
Would you be willing to participate in the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program evaluation?
Yes, I would like to complete this questionnaire and understand that I might receive an invitation to participate in an interview or focus group
No, not at this time

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for agreeing to complete the Noyce Program evaluation questionnaire.
