STEM Teaching
Fellowships
STEM Fellowships empower science educators to become experts in both scientific practice and pedagogy. Bridging the gap between classroom and professional science connects STEM teachers and students to the industries where science is applied in the real world. These fellowships equip teachers with advanced instructional strategies.
Fellows engage in meaningful professional development that deepens content knowledge, builds leadership capacity, and fosters innovation in STEM education. The program creates a scalable model for preparing K–12 teachers to cultivate STEM-ready students, effectively improving STEM teaching methods, and ensuring the next generation of students are informed, and equipped to thrive in a rapidly evolving scientific world.
As advances in technology fuel job growth in STEM fields, STEM Teaching Fellowships provides teachers with crucial professional science experience needed to improve science education and to inspire and prepare students for college and careers in the STEM workforce.
Teachers as Force-Multipliers
Cumulative Growth in Students Reached by Each Teacher Cohort
Our trained fellows, equipped with real-world STEM experience, are deployed across cities and towns to provide children with a higher level of STEM education.
Our Impact
The disconnect between academic science & professional science
is the greatest obstacle to STEM workforce development.
“Science teachers are uniquely positioned to drive STEM workforce development. However, most science teachers in the US have no professional science experience, and know little about the skills young people need to enter the STEM workforce.”
Lawrence Perretto, former biologist & current middle school science teacher of 29 years
