I have received increasing inquiry about the opportunities for advanced educational degree after graduation. Here are some opportunities you might want to consider:
1. Woodruff Wilson Teaching Fellowship:
- Some of you could be the perfect fit for the Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship, a pioneering program that prepares outstanding teachers for the schools that need them most.
The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship, now offered in Georgia, Indiana and New Jersey, recruits current seniors, recent grads, and alumni with backgrounds in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) to teach in high-need secondary schools. Fellows receive a generous stipend ($30,000-32,000) to complete a master's degree program that includes a full school year of experience in local high-need classrooms. In turn, you commit to teach for three years in high-need secondary urban or rural schools. You also get mentoring and support from both your universities and your schools throughout their three-year commitment.
I will encourage you to apply early—it’s a very competitive process. The 2015 Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship program offers three application deadlines: October 16, 2015 (Round 1); November 30, 2015 (Round 2); and January 31, 2016 (Round 3). They also offer webinars throughout the year for those interested in learning more about the program. You can learn more at woodrow.org/STEM.
- The benefits:
1. Earn a Master's in Curriculum & Instruction plus a teaching license in 15 months.
2. A highly competitive living stipend during the residency year ($22,100); for four years, earn $10,000 teaching stipend ON TOP OF your salary while fulfilling program commitment.
3. Receive four years of coaching support and professional development.
