GSkyTeach (Contact Dr. Barkley for more information)

Download file

Western Kentucky University has recently been awarded a $5.4 million
dollar grant over five years to prepare physics, chemistry, and
mathematics teachers for high schools in Louisville, Kentucky. The
program called “GSkyTeach” is recruiting graduating seniors or recent graduates with majors in the above three disciplines, but no teacher preparation. The program will pay trainees $30,000 plus benefits during the year of preparation and all tuition costs to earn a Master of Arts in Teaching degree. At the end of one year of preparation, the graduates will be employed by the Jefferson County Public Schools at a starting salary of $42,000.

GSkyTeach is an exciting new program very different from traditional teacher preparation. If you know of seniors or recent graduates for whom this program might work, it is a tremendous career opportunity.

Attached is a copy of our brochure you can download.

Also, there is a website: with more
information about the program and an online application form.

Contact Dr. Barkley if you are interested in being nominated: mdb4@case.edu

Noyce Scholarship

Application Deadline: March 18, 2009
Location: Cleveland "high needs" schools
Website: http://www.case.edu/artsci/noyce/

Full Text:
Dear Chairs and Faculty,
As you know, we are recruiting students for the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program whose goal it is to attract highly-qualified STEM majors into teaching careers.

The NSF program awards $15,000 scholarships to students for each of their junior and senior year. In return, students commit to teaching two years in a high need school for each of the years of scholarship support they accept. Students continue with their major and enroll in the CWRU/JCU licensure program.

We have extended the application deadline to March 18. Would you be willing to forward this message and the attached flyer to those of your faculty who advise undergraduates and to your majors? [Flyer is presumably on their website. - Ed.]

The Noyce team would be very appreciative. You can find more information about the program at:
http://www.case.edu/artsci/noyce/ Program contact is edward.bernetich@case.edu.

Thanks very much,
Molly Berger
