| AP Fellows GK-12 Program Announcement and Description |
|
We are pleased to announce that The National Science Foundation has awarded a grant to the CUNY Graduate Center to support a project called The AP Fellows GK-12 Program, which provides an exceptional teaching opportunity for CUNY's doctoral computer science, science, and mathematics students. The project is under the direction of Professor Theodore Brown, Principal Investigator and Executive Officer of the Computer Science Doctoral Program, and Dr. Victor Strozak, Co-Principal Investigator and Science Education Associate in the Center for Advanced Study in Education.

|
|
|
Designed to expand and enhance advanced placement science and mathematics courses in the Bronx High School District, the AP Fellows GK-12 Program seeks candidates who have an interest in teaching and in improving the quality of science education in New York City. In addition to a $30,000 stipend (for the period 7/1/04 to 6/30/05) and a cost of education allowance that covers tuition costs, the project offers fellows a chance to join and work with a team of educators and scientists on a unique, groundbreaking program that may well become a national model for the delivery of Advanced Placement science and mathematics courses.
|
|
The project will select and train 10 fellows who will work with and assist 20 new or novice AP Fellows GK-12 Teachers (two for each Fellow) in some of the following subject areas: biology, calculus, chemistry, computer science, environmental science, geography, physics, and statistics. Both the Fellows and Teachers will receive intensive summer and academic-year training and support from CUNY personnel, staff from the Bronx High School District, and The College Board. The training is comprised of summer professional development workshops (10 days), monthly, half-day seminars during the academic year, and semi-annual project achievement conferences.
|
|
The fellows will work closely with their cooperating teachers to plan their day-to-day activities based on both teacher and student needs. During the academic year, fellows are required to spend 10 hours per week on in-class instructional activities at their assigned high school and an additional 5 hours per week on out-of-class preparation activities.
|
|
The NSF requires that fellows be full time graduate students who are U.S. citizens, nationals or permanent residents at the time of application. To be considered for a fellowship position, email a completed application, cover letter, and a resume, to Dr. Victor Strozak. Applicants may contact Dr. Strozak for more information.
|
|
Review of applications will begin on February 16th and will continue until 10 fellows have been selected.
