Professional Development
& Grant Opportunities
for Educators
The ASM Materials Education Foundation annually awards 20 grants of $500 each to help K-12 teachers bring the real world of materials science into their classrooms. “Living in a Material World” grants recognize creativity and enhance awareness of materials science and the role that materials play in society. The ASM Foundation is committed to working with and supporting teachers through “Living in a Material World” K-12 teacher grants. Application Process Describe a hands-on, curriculum-based K-12 project that involves student observation, teamwork, mathematics, and science skills that enhance student awareness of the everyday materials around them. We encourage you to contact local ASM International chapter members for assistance in creating imaginative, original projects that other teachers will want to emulate. The ASM Materials Education Foundation has been delighted to receive many more proposals than can be funded. To speed the selection process, ONLY those proposals directly addressing materials science will be considered. Proposals will be reviewed by a subcommittee of the Action in Education Committee. Please Note: A one-page summary report is required for each of the winning proposals upon completion of the project. Application Deadline: May 25 Any applications received after the deadline will be considered in next year’s cycle. Results will be communicated to the applicants in early August.

After our recent experiences in Hong Kong, I've got the travel bug and have been searching for other opportunities to travel, to observe/experience education abroad, and to build connections between my students and global partners. In my searching, I came across two different opportunities through Fulbright that seem promising. I was already familiar with Fulbright's distinguished programs for college graduates (Teaching Assistantships, English Teaching Positions and Research Assistantships) and for teacher exchange. While these well-known programs provide amazing opportunities to travel, study and teach abroad, the assistantships are restricted to recent grads...and I'd been under the impression that the teacher exchange required a commitment for an extended stay abroad with housing exchange, which can be challenging for many educators (including this one that still rents her abode). In fact, Fulbright also offers short-term global opportunities through the Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Short-Term Program and the Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms Program.

As one of the top engineering schools in the nation, MIT provides top-notch professional development for teachers through a competitive Summer experience for teachers. Although there is a cost for this program, many states have alumni groups who provide scholarships to cover the cost of tuition and/or travel. The application deadline is quickly approaching, so if you're interested in participating in the 2018 session, make sure you get started soon! |
Every time I hear about an amazing professional development experience that peers or colleagues have participated in, I think I should start a list so that I can take advantage of the opportunity in the future...but I always forget...until now! Here's my compilation of awesome opportunities for educators. If you have any ideas to share, please comment or send a message--sharing is caring!
