with mentor teachers and are required to spend a minimum of 30 hours per
quarter teaching and observing in the classroom. 

The following students were honored: Mayra de La O, Mary Camacho, Rosalba
Esparza, Chuong Vu, Miguel Saucedo, John Nguyen, Chiara Hodgkinson, Angelica
Ruiz and Fallyn Thompson. 

The following staff and faculty are involved with the program: Pamela Clute,
Noyce principal investigator; Maria Simani, Noyce co-principal investigator
and director; Brad Hyman, Noyce co-principal investigator and faculty
advisor; Leslie Bushong, Science and Math Initiative coordinator; Anne
Jones, director of teacher education; David Livingston, supervisor of
teacher education; and Reba Page, a professor and Noyce program evaluator. 

Program organizers are recruiting students for future classes. For more
