2013 Teaching
Fellows
Program of Study
The CSUN NSF Teaching Fellowship Program supports college
graduates with degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) and strong math backgrounds
as they prepare for secondary math teaching careers. Through this program,
Teaching Fellows will earn single
subject mathematics teaching credentials and
master's degrees in
Computers
and Educational Technology
and participate in
professional
development activities while teaching in high-need school
districts.
Four-year commitments will be made by TFs.
During this
period, they will earn up to $55,000 in
stipends
and/or
salary supplements and work
closely with a developing community of CSUN faculty, local
teacher
leaders, and preservice teachers. This program is funded by a
National Science Foundation Noyce grant.
Program Goals and Highlights
CSUN's NSF Teaching Fellows must begin
the program with
strong math backgrounds and dispositions suitable for
teaching. Through this program, they will become expert
secondary teachers inclined to remain in the profession
beyond
the four year commitment they make as Fellows. The goal
is for
Fellows to become teacher leaders in their schools and
districts (and beyond).
