Summer Teacher-in-residence Positions

July 5 - August 5

Looking for a new way to stay connected during your vacation? Spend this summer at the Museum of Science as a Teacher-in-Residence. Get a behind-the-scenes perspective of the Museum, learn from our staff as you share your knowledge of formal learning environments with us, and serve as a liaison between the Museum and your school / district.

Each Teacher-in-Residence works on a relevant Museum project, participates in a weekly teacher learner seminar, and works on an independent project of his or her choice.

Choose to work five 6-hour days or four 7 1/2-hour days each week. During the school year, you are also expected to work an additional 24 hours to research and develop a product determined by you and your Museum partner. All participants must also attend a call-back meeting scheduled for Saturday, December 3. Although we are not able to offer housing, we do offer stipends of $3,000.

> Current Science & Technology: Seeking one high school science teacher interested in learning how to turn current science research into presentations for the general public and students. This teacher works with our Current Science & Technology team to develop a story for presentation to our general public and adapt it for use back in school.

> What is Technology? Exhibit: Seeking one middle or high school teacher who is interested in the process of exhibit development and can provide insight on what might appeal to middle and high school age learners. This teacher helps develop a plan through which the What is Technology? exhibit team can partner with several teachers and classrooms for the creation of actual exhibit components. Exhibit funding

> Genzyme Sabbatical Follow-up: Seeking two Genzyme Teacher Sabbatical alumni who are interested in investing significant time towards development of an action plan inspired by their sabbatical experience. In addition to preparing to carry out their action plan back at school, these teachers contribute to development of related content for our networking website.

Teachers work to create math lessons that integrate with the engineering, science, and technology topics highlighted in the curriculum.

Teachers prepare and co-facilitate a week-long summer course that integrates mathematics and engineering topics with Museum exhibits and activities for students, grades 3 - 5. Participants also create related chaperone guides and focusing activity sheets. Liberty Mutual funding

> Overnight Curriculum: Seeking one elementary or middle school teacher interested in helping the Overnight Program update an extensive curriculum guide to include easy references for teachers by helping link what students do during an overnight to classroom topics. The work includes helping to develop a method of collecting data from teachers about why they attend overnights and what they find most valuable to their students as part of our efforts to improve the ways we reach out to meet the needs and wants of teachers and their districts.

> Planetarium Educator Resources: Seeking one middle or high school science teacher to develop classroom-related pre / post visit activities to support the new Charles Hayden Planetarium shows.
