Abstract: The NSF Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) requires evaluation and technical services for the Noyce program. Noyce has a 20-year history of responding to the critical need for highly effective K-12 STEM teachers in high-need school districts by recruiting and preparing talented undergraduate STEM majors and STEM professionals to pursue teaching careers in elementary and secondary schools. Since its inception, the program has commissioned three program evaluations, the most recent in 2017.
