We <3 our STEM Campers!
This morning campers were placed into colonies as they continue to explore ways to inhabit Mars through 3 lenses:
BIOTECHNOLOGY
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
ENGINEERING/ROBOTICS

It's SO exciting to see these young minds inquiring, collaborating, and growing through STEM!

More images have been added to the Padlet for you to enjoy:

Our metro Atlanta area Fellows had the opportunity to apply for Goizueta Foundation micro-grants to support STEM teaching and learning in their classrooms. 

Woodrow Wilson Foundation staff, along with faculty from Georgia Teaching Fellowship Programs are working with Fellows throughout the grant process that will culminate in a Micro-grant Symposium later this spring.  Piedmont's own Dr. Teresa Secules is providing support for Fellows to assess the impact of their grant-funded projects!

Images below highlight Fellows' (Derikson Rivera, Leslie Dunham, Tyler Kinner, and Tareha Hopkins) cross-institution work as well as work in their classrooms with grant-funded equipment.  More to come!!!

Preparing to become professional STEM educators through Mock Interviews

2/2/2017

In mid-January, nine administrators from partner districts and beyond engaged in a Mock Interview session with our Piedmont College Woodrow Wilson Georgia Teaching Fellows.  In a process much like speed dating, Fellows spent approximately six minutes with each interviewer.  This mutually beneficial opportunity gave Fellows experience with interview skills and attending administrators a chance to meet/ recruit these talented secondary math and science teachers-to-be!

Our second cohort of Fellows will complete the program in July and receive certification in either 6-12 Mathematics or 6-12 Broadfield Science.  See their profiles HERE.

PC Fellows visit RCA and prepare for the job search with a session at PAGE

The Ron Clark Academy is a non-profit 5th-8th school founded by Disney Teachers of the Year Ron Clark and Kim Bearden, the latter a former Cobb County educator. In addition to receiving national acclaim for their success using unconventional teaching methods with high needs students, RCA serves as a demonstration school for public school teachers in Georgia and beyond. Check out the site for additional details.

The Piedmont College Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship program provides opportunities throughout the year for our Fellows to visit exemplar schools, career academies, and non-traditional educational facilities across the region as part of our periodic Traveling Tuesday experiences.
​Following our visit to RCA - and a stormy lunch at Mellow Mushroom - the Fellows met with Dr. Diane Ray at the PAGE offices for a pre-employment session rife with tips on preparing to interview and for the job of being a Georgia public school educator. All Fellows are required to be student members of either PAGE or GAE.

Fellows will be participating in mock interviews with administrators and human resources personnel from several regional districts on our Demorest campus in early January.

The first showcases Daron Martin, a teacher at Lanier High School in Gwinnett County, and includes images of other Cohort 1 Fellows, Daron's Host Teacher, Dr. Margaret Rohrbaugh, and the Fellows working with Piedmont School of Education faculty member, Dr. Candice Southall.
The second features commentary from Curriculum Director, Lynn Rambo and Project Director, Julie Palmour along with clips of our Cohort 1 Fellows, including Leslie Dunham and Tyler Kinner, both teachers at Meadowcreek High School, also in Gwinnett County (note that the featured Fellow in this second video is from Indiana).
