Abstract

The goal of the NSF Robert Noyce Scholarship Program is to address the shortage of qualified math and science teachers in high need schools by supporting scholarship and mentorship directed at the recruitment, retention, and education of our nation’s preservice and in-service teachers. This multiple case study research focuses on the experiences of Noyce scholars enrolled in an MAT program at a northeastern university with a focus on the question: How effective are Noyce scholars in utilizing student performance data to adapt and modify instruction? Each of the cases provides evidence that the students taught by Noyce scholars during their internship learned science and math content and practices in significant ways.
