At the beginning of 2009 the Society launched their Teaching Fellow Scheme. For 2010 this has been renamed as the Teaching Internship scheme and the invitation for applications is now open. A promotional flyer can be downloaded from HERE.
The Royal Meteorological Society is looking to appoint 2 Teacher Fellows to work with the Society in the summer of 2010 to develop teaching resources in weather and climate and to enhance the provision of material on their new educational website www.metlink.org
What is it?
The key tasks of the Fellows over the summer period would be to:
- Identify which of the ideas (from the list attached) best suits their interests and produce resources which are linked to this area of the curriculum specifically. These resources are usually teaching notes and explanations with at least two lessons worth of material. It is envisaged 4 days would be needed to produce these resources.
- Spend a day with a relevant subject specialist, identified by the Society to enhance the production of these materials
The benefits
Fellows will be awarded £500, 6 months membership of the Society + expenses. All materials developed will be made freely available via the Royal Meteorological Society educational website MetLink www.metlink.org
How do you apply?
For more information please see the attachment with ideas for resources and the homepage of the MetLink website. Interested teachers with at least one year’s classroom experience should send their application to Rachael Fordham at education@rmets.org by the end of April 2010. This should include:
- a chosen topic area, with clear curriculum links, that they would like to focus on, demonstrating awareness of what resources already exist in the area (if any)
- a brief CV including details of qualifications, experience and current position
Any questions please let me know,
Thanks and kind regards
