[lg policy] Scholarship Funds for Bilingual Educators in Science

[Harold Schiffman]

Forwarded From:  edling at lists.sis.utsa.edu


Dear Colleagues,

Please distribute this widely through your university and professional
networks. It is a wonderful opportunity for bilingual students, who
have completed their B.A. and are interested in teaching science.
Adelphi University received funding through Race to the Top to develop
a residency program for bilingual (Spanish or Haitian Creole) students
with an an M.A. and a strong science background.  Candidates will
engage in a clinically based, hands-on training in support of the
national shortage of bilingual science educators.

Project BEST offers a wealth of benefits, including the opportunity to
earn a master's degree, mentorship from esteemed professionals and a
substantial stipend
and living allowance.  See the additional information below and
attached flyer.  For more information, students can go to:
http://education.adelphi.edu/departments-programs/curriculum-and-instruction/grant-funded-programs/
.  Interested students are welcome to contact me at
dgordon at adelphi.edu or my colleague Dr. Tracy Hogan at
hogan at adelphi.edu.

All best,

Daryl Gordon
Adelphi University

Project BEST: Bilingual Educators in Science Technology

A joint partnership with Adelphi University, and the Westbury and
Roosevelt School Districts, Project BEST is a New York State Race to
the Top funded grant program that prepares qualified bilingual
candidates for a fulfilling career in science education through
clinically rich study and practice.

The U.S. Department of Education Awards Race to the Top money to
programs that are leading the way with ambitious yet achievable plans
for implementing coherent, compelling, and comprehensive education
reform.

Project BEST is a residency program that provides intensive and
in-depth teacher education. Other benefits include:

$10,000 tuition stipend and $30,000 living allowance while earning an
M.A. in Science Education, with initial New York State certification
(grades 7-12) in a science discipline (biology, earth science,
physics, or chemistry) and a bilingual extension
Mentorship by highly qualified teachers and university faculty through
a one-year full-time teaching residency
Involvement with the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS)

Students must be bilingual in Spanish or Haitian Creole, hold a
bachelor's degree with a strong science background, and commit to
teaching in a high-needs district after program completion.
