Army STEM Teacher Fellowships (formerly RESET) is a multi-tiered professional development program for middle and high school STEM teachers. Every fellow gets direct engagement with Army scientists and engineers and their research, gaining content knowledge in emerging, trans-disciplinary fields like cybersecurity, nanotechnology, and robotics, and learning how to build that knowledge into inquiry-based, hands-on classroom curriculum.
Level 1 and Level 2 teachers complete virtual professional development January through May. Level 2 fellows go further, spending four weeks conducting research in person at an Army Research Center under the direct supervision of a scientist or engineer mentor.
Every fellow does the online professional development and writes a lesson plan. Level 2 adds a summer research placement in an Army lab and a more involved application.
Entirely online, on your own schedule alongside teaching. The straightforward way in.
Application is short — a set of essay questions, no resume, lesson plan, or references needed.
[See what the professional development involves]Four weeks embedded with a research team at an Army laboratory, paired with a Level 1 fellow to build the lesson plan together.
More involved application, including your resume, lesson plan, and references.
[See the summer research experience]“I had been teaching chemistry for eleven years and had never run an experiment where nobody knew the answer. That changed how I write every lab now.”
Judge, coach, or mentor an Army STEM program — a few hours to a full season.
