Montshire STEM Alliance's Professional Development Program for Teacher Leaders

The Montshire STEM Teacher-Leader Certificate Program (M-STEM Teacher-Leader Program) is designed to develop and support a network of classroom teachers who have the tools, knowledge, and passion to become the teacher-leaders for STEM education in their schools. Over the course of 12 months, teachers participating in this certificate program will receive extensive professional development in STEM education, work side-by-side with fellow educators who also have a goal of improving their practice, be coached and mentored by experts in K-8 STEM education, and develop the skills and theoretical science understanding to support the science education in their own classroom to infuse a culture of science in their school.  Each educator will also have the opportunity to develop a professional development for their peers with the support of the group.

Applications due September 25 and require your principal's support.  Notification of acceptance by October 4.
