This prestigious Woodrow Wilson Ohio Teaching Fellowship provides a $30,000 stipend and admission to an innovative, clinically-based masters of education degree program that results in licensure for grades 7-12 mathematics or science in 1 year. We are offering licensure in: mathematics, chemistry, life science, physics or dual licensure in life science & chemistry or physical science (chemistry & physics).
The curriculum is being developed by a talented team of JCU faculty from the departments of education & allied studies, biology, chemistry, mathematics & computer science, and physics, as well as Cleveland Metropolitan School District teachers and administrators. The program involves a full summer of coursework followed by a full academic year embedded in a CMSD classroom with a mentor teacher, while taking additional integrated coursework. Fellows will complete the masters degree requirements the following summer, taking their last 4 credits.
