STEM Education Institute Tuesday Seminar
"An Einstein Fellow's Miraculous Year" will be presented by Kathleen Gorski, Wilbraham & Monson Academy.
There have been Einstein Fellows since 1990 and The Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program Act was passed by Congress in 1994. But just what is an Einstein Fellow? And what do they do for their Fellowship? This program for K-12 STEM educators will be outlined and some of the many the opportunities afforded by the program will be presented. Writing legislation, writing and reviewing curricula, sitting on grant proposal panels, meeting with international educational leaders, representing federal agencies, and serving on focus groups for STEM initiatives are just some of the reasons an Einstein (Fellowship) year is miraculous.
