Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship Available

 The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship seeks to attract talented, committed individuals with backgrounds in the STEM fields- science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—into teaching in high-need secondary schools in Georgia, Indiana, and New Jersey. Eligible applicants include current undergraduates, recent college graduates, midcareer professionals, and retirees who have majored in, or had careers in, STEM fields.

The Fellowship also works to change the way top teachers and prepared, partnering with colleges and universities that have agreed to provide Fellows with innovative, year-long classroom experiences, rigorous academic work and ongoing mentoring.

The Fellowship

The teaching Fellowship includes:

·       Admission to a master’s degree program at a partner university

·       Preparation for teacher certification in science, mathematics or technology education

·       Extensive preparation for teaching in a high-need urban or rural secondary school for one full year prior to becoming the teacher-of-record in a science or math classroom

·       A $30,000 stipend, with tuition arrangements varying by campus in Georgia, Indiana, and New Jersey. (Once Fellows are certified teachers at the end of the first year they obtain salaried employment in high-need schools.)

·       Support and mentoring throughout the three-year teaching commitment

·       Support of a cohort of WW Fellows passionate about science and math education

·       Lifelong membership in a national network of Wood Wilson Fellows who are intellectual leaders

The Commitment

As part of their commitment to ensuring the success of students in high-need secondary schools, Fellows teach for at least three years in an urban or rural school district. Continuation as a teacher of record is contingent on the Fellow’s completing the master’s degree and obtaining appropriate teaching licensure.
