GK-12: Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education

ESI’s GK-12 program represents an extension of the National Science Foundation GK-12 program at the University of Texas at Austin (2001-2011). This program pairs graduate student scientists and teachers from STEM disciplines in local school districts. Throughout its history, the GK-12 program has consistently improved communication and teaching skills for graduate fellows, enriched learning by K-12 students, created innovative professional development opportunities for K-12 teachers, and strengthened partnerships between institutions of higher education and local schools. In Spring 2013, GK-12 will begin to provide prestigious fellowships and innovative training opportunities to graduate researchers interested in public outreach and environmental education.
