2006 Teaching Fellowships

 

The Knowles Science Teaching Foundation (KSTF) is seeking applicants for
its fifth cohort of KSTF Science Teaching Fellows and its second cohort
of KSTF Mathematics Teaching Fellows. Teaching Fellows are individuals
who have at least a bachelor's degree in a physical science, engineering
or mathematics and now want to teach science or mathematics in U.S. high
schools. KSTF was established in 1999 to strengthen the quality of
science and mathematics teaching in the United States. KSTF Teaching
Fellowships support individuals professionally and financially for up to
five years through a teacher preparation program to eligibility for
tenure.

 

Eligibility Requirements:

Applicants must have earned at least a bachelor's degree in a physical
science, engineering or mathematics within the past five years and be
committed to teaching secondary mathematics or science in U.S. schools.
Fellowships are intended for individuals enrolling in a recognized
teacher education program leading to certification.

 

Award information:

Fellowships will be awarded to up to 15 individuals in the math program
and up to 15 in the science program.  The fellowship is renewable for up
to five years. While individuals are enrolled in a recognized teacher
credentialing program, fellowship support includes tuition assistance
and a monthly stipend as well as room, board, travel expenses and fees
for summer professional development activities.  Once fellows have begun
teaching full time, they are eligible to apply for instructional
materials mini-grants and school-site mentor support.  Additionally, the
