This study seeks to understand a more nuanced story of Texas’s unique context by exploring the employment and retention patterns of Noyce Scholars at the school level. In particular, this study uses a descriptive analytical strategy to explore the first-year employment and retention patterns of Noyce program graduates from four Texas institutions. When the placement and retention of STEM teachers at highest-need schools were examined, researchers found that Noyce recipients were employed at highest-need schools at a modestly lower rate than their non-Noyce recipient peers (34% to 38%) and were retained into their second year of teaching at those schools at a lower rate than their non-Noyce peers (64% to 73%). Though Noyce participation had no observable association with placement or retention at highest-need schools, as indicated by a lack of statistical difference, more work could be done to ensure that those teachers are going to and staying in classrooms with the highest
