Opportunities for High School Teachers

The COSMOS Teacher Fellows program provides opportunities for outstanding math or science high school teachers to participate in one of the four COSMOS summer programs. Each Fellow works with a team of university faculty to implement the academic portion of COSMOS. Teacher Fellows serve as the pedagogical bridge between high school student learning and university faculty teaching. They directly participate in all classroom and laboratory work as well as field trips, typically a Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. commitment. Our Teacher Fellows serve a valuable role as liaisons between the residential and academic programs. Teacher Fellows are also called upon to consult with faculty on course design, provide supplemental instruction, mentor students, and supervise course projects. As an added bonus, we have graciously been giving funds to provide our Teacher Fellows with grants to purchase materials and equipment to help enhance teaching in their own personal classrooms.
