Teaching Partner Program
To help support our piloting teachers with planning and implementation, we’ve created the Teaching Partner role. This position is typically filled by undergraduate STEM education students, graduate MST students, and STEM faculty/staff members. Teaching Partners are matched one-to-one with a piloting teacher and will support that individual teacher on a weekly basis throughout the semester or year. Teaching Partners are expected to spend 6 hours per week on their assignment, with at least 3 of those hours in person with the teacher and/or in the classroom. The responsibilities of a Teaching Partner include helping a teacher with lesson preparation and planning, assisting with set-up and clean-up of classroom activities, facilitating small group discussions in class, helping with differentiated instruction, providing content support if requested, and offering general consultation on the new instructional resources.
