Key Goals of 2019 Noyce Summit : The 2019 Summit seeks to explore and advance the role of teacher preparation in retention of STEM teachers in high-need school districts. Summit objectives are to identify: (i) Evidence-based strategies of STEM teacher preparation that may have contributed to increased and/or above average STEM teacher retention; and (ii) Strategies that help STEM teacher preparation programs to strengthen their partnerships with schools, districts, state education agencies, and policy agencies to increase STEM teacher retention. Reflection • What are your personal/professional goals for the 2019 Summit? • How will you use the Summit experience to impact STEM teacher education and STEM teacher retention? 5
