Middle and high school teachers for United States are invited to apply for the APS Frontiers in Physiology Summer Research Teacher Fellowship. This is a paid fellowship that will start in April 2012 and conclude in April 2013 with a trip to the Experimental Biology Meeting in Boston, MA. In this year-long professional development fellowship, teachers
- immerse themselves in cutting-edge biomedical research for 7-8 weeks;
- enhance their teaching skills in Six Star Science principles (student-centered instruction, diversity/equity, technology, assessment, current scientific content, and reflecting on teaching and learning); and
- build networks with scientists locally and nationally by attending a scientific conference.
Program information and the application are available at www.frontiersinphys.org. Look for the “HOW TO APPLY” guide document at the Research Teacher Fellows program website. The application deadline is January 23, 2012.
