Are you ready to experience a summer of innovation,
collaboration, renewed energy and professional growth? Apply for an IISME Summer
Fellowship! The IISME Summer Fellowship Program places
eligible K-16 teachers from all disciplines into high-performance
industry and research environments for the summer. Teachers work full-time for
eight weeks, complete a project for their Host organization, and are
paid $8,200 for their work. Teachers devote 10% of their paid time to focus on
how they will transfer their Summer Fellowship experience back to their students
and colleagues.
By working at one of IISME’s Host organizations, such as
Genentech, Stanford University, Dow Chemical Company, Lockheed Martin, Google
or Cisco Systems just to name a few, teachers are able to experience, first
hand, the practical applications of the science, math and technology they
teach. The Summer Fellowship experience becomes a springboard for infusing
curriculum with “real world” connections that further engage students in
learning. Many IISME Fellows report that their Summer Fellowship
experiences reenergize their enthusiasm and commitment to teaching as they come
away with exciting ideas for how to better prepare their students for 21st
Century careers.

Program and to apply, please visit http://iisme.org/teachers.
Educators are encouraged to apply by February 15, 2015 to increase their
chances of being selected in this competitive process.
