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. Content: Research in Neuroscience,
Medical Sciences and Human Genetics, Immunology and Microbiology,
Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology, Biochemistry and
