About S2TLC
S2TLC is a five-year NSF-funded partnership of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Greenfield, Holyoke, and Springfield public schools, the Mahar Regional school district and the Hitchcock Center for the Environment. The project will build and support a community and pipeline of STEM educators that explore deep content knowledge, inquiry-based and culturally responsive practices, and the integration of technology in grades 6-12 mathematics and science classrooms. Face-to-face and virtual communities of practice are hallmarks of the project that will connect teachers in western Massachusetts during and beyond the project.
Master Teaching Fellows have been selected on the basis of their potential to assume leadership in the direction of highly successful collaborations among mathematics and science educators and have begun involvement in the project.
Currently, in April 2012, rolling admissions are underway for Teaching Fellowships, and will continue until positions are filled. During the summer of 2012, Teaching Fellows will enter an accelerated program for their Master’s degree and licensure for teaching in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) field.
