Rockefeller U's Precollege
Science Education Program for K-12 Teachers
Science teachers in public, private,
or parochial schools in the tri-state area are encouraged
to apply to be a Rockefeller University Outreach Teacher
Fellow. About five new teachers are matched each summer with
a scientist to gain mentored laboratory research experience
on campus. Teachers earn a $5,000
stipend per 7-8 week summer for each of two summers. Teachers
may also receive up to $2,000 for Action Plans to implement
active learning in their classrooms based on their research
experiences. Our non-residential professional development program
exceeds the NSES. Your individualized, mentored laboratory
research experience will be supported by our weekly 1) ScienTific
Reading and Writing Course (STRAW) in science communication
skills and 2) Teacher Breakfast Seminars in developing Action
Plans. You may be working alongside high school Outreach Students
or helping scientists teach STRAW which includes learning how
to write a Research Report and give a Poster Session. Some
$2,000 stipends are also available for Outreach Students and
underrepresented minorities and girls are encouraged to apply.
