Museum Teaching Fellowship, June-July 2008
At the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science and the Albuquerque BioPark
 
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS FRIDAY, APRIL 18!
 
Are you an elementary school teacher who would like to learn more about programs, materials, and other resources at either the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (NMMNHS) or the Albuquerque BioPark to enhance learning and teaching in your classroom? Would you like to work on your own self-directed natural history or conservation science learning project?  Then don’t miss this great opportunity to become deeply immersed in the NMMNHS, or the Albuquerque BioPark, as part of this summer’s Museum Teaching Fellowship, co-sponsored by the Science Education Institute of the Southwest (SEIS) and the Albert I. Pierce Foundation.
Up to seven elementary teachers will be chosen to participate in this 80-hour program that offers valuable learning and resource opportunities, as well as a $1,000 stipend.   Those teachers who choose the Albuquerque BioPark session (includes Rio Grande Zoo, Albuquerque Aquarium, Rio Grande Botanic Garden and Tingley Beach) will meet from June 16 – June 19.  Teachers choosing the NMMNHS session will meet from June 23 – June 26.  An additional 48 hours of self-directed study is required for all teachers participating in the program, to be completed by July 11. You will be asked to give a final presentation at the conclusion of the Museum Teaching Fellowship.
