Noyce Math and Science Education Internship
Are you a Bryn Mawr or Haverford undergraduate who would like to explore the possibility of becoming a secondary math or science teacher? Are you interested in the connections between teaching and youth development, social justice, or social change? Do you want to experience school again, from a new vantage point as a professional?
If so, apply for the Noyce Math and Science Education Internship Program! Successful applicants will spend the week of spring break learning about math and science education by shadowing a math or science teacher in the Greater Philadelphia region or with an alum in another part of the country. If you find this a positive experience, consider applying for the Noyce Teacher Scholarships during your junior or senior year or as an alum.
The specifics of the student – host teacher match will be worked out based on interests and availability.
Applications are due February 1, 2012.
The necessary Child Abuse Clearance Form will be submitted in person to:
Betsy Cancelliere, Mathematics Department, Bryn Mawr College, Park Science Building 357, noyce@brynmawr.edu, 610-526-5348.
The Noyce Internship is open to all students regardless of nationality.
As part of the Internship experience, participants will create a (short) portfolio of reflections on their experience. This portfolio will contribute to an understanding of math/science education, approaches to teaching, and the development of the Noyce Program. The intern’s particular interests will inform the design of the portfolio.
Noyce Spring Interns will receive a stipend of $400 and the transportation costs will be paid for by the Noyce program.
As part of the requirements of the Noyce Internship Program, participants must attend a pre-break orientation session and a post-spring break debriefing session and a group reflection session during Spring Break. The Reflective Portfolio will be discussed at the orientation.
If you find this a positive experience, consider applying for the Noyce Teach Scholarships, either the two-year or 5th year option.
