Dr. Andr茅 Green, associate vice president of academic affairs at the University of South Alabama, has worked with the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program for 13 years. The program provides funding to recruit and train STEM majors to become K-12 grade teachers.

Dr. Andr茅 Green, associate vice president of academic affairs at the 猫咪社区APP, was a keynote speaker at a May 3 National Science Foundation meeting celebrating 20 years of the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program.

The Noyce program provides funding for universities to recruit and train STEM majors to become kindergarten through 12th-grade science teachers.

鈥淥ne thing we鈥檙e proud of here is our selection program,鈥� said Green. 鈥淲e give people a chance to try out teaching to make sure it鈥檚 the right fit. And we mentor our students after they graduate. We support our scholars.鈥�

At South, Green has worked with the Noyce program for 13 years. It offers practices and strategies for preparing and retaining teachers in high-need schools and school districts.

In recent years, the Covid pandemic and a wave of teacher retirements have only increased the importance of recruiting instructors in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

鈥淭he need for teachers is just as great as it was 2009,鈥� Green said. 鈥淚t might be greater. Artificial Intelligence is big now. Gaming is big now. All of these things are STEM.鈥�
