Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks high school science and mathematics teachers from Milwaukee-area schools, with particular consideration given to teachers working in districts that serve a significantly diverse socioeconomic and demographic population. Teachers in such districts typically face strong challenges concerning motivation and skill level in students’ learning main concepts in science and mathematics. Teachers in the areas of Chemistry, Physics, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, and Generalized Physical Science are eligible to apply.
Teachers will receive a stipend of $7,500 for successful participation in the program for one year. This includes the summer sessions, the year-long professional development sessions, and the poster competition. Up to $2,500 will be available for each participant to purchase classroom supplies and teaching materials. Payments will be made in installments.
Application Deadline: April 30, 2023
