The Master of Arts in Teaching Earth Science Residency Program is looking for graduates with Earth and space science backgrounds (geology, mineralogy, paleontology, oceanography, astronomy, environmental geology, and more) who want to make a difference in the world of STEM education. This teaching fellowship combines coursework, mentoring, and real-world experience to prepare Earth and space science graduates for rewarding careers as culturally responsive middle and high school teachers.
All degree candidates will receive free tuition, Apple laptop, books, and a $40,000 living stipend. In return, candidates commit to teaching in a public high-needs school for three years.
With a sole focus on preparing new Earth science teachers, the program is a full-time, 15-month Master's degree program that takes place at the Museum and in urban partner schools. We seek a student body with a passion for social justice and diverse life and career experiences.
We are currently accepting applicants for the class that will begin in June 2024 and are hoping that you will be able to share information about the program and the attached digital flyer broadly. We encourage anyone interested to come to one of our information sessions, or to reach out to us via email or phone.
