This science initiative, led by Professional Resources in Science and Mathematics (PRISM) at Montclair, is an exciting teacher-leadership program available to experienced, licensed middle school (grades 6, 7 and 8) science teachers.

  • Applicants for AY 2022/2023 must be working in a NJ public school with at least 75% of their classes taught during the fellowship year as science content for grades 6, 7 and/or 8.
  • Teachers participating in the science fellowship will apply to work as part of a 3-teacher team from their school/district.
  • Educators accepted to the fellowship will receive a $5,000 stipend and join a supportive learning community where they will learn about an innovative, research-based science teaching practice alongside talented science educators from other New Jersey districts and schools.
  • This year’s fellows will engage in Ambitious Science Teaching (AST), an innovative approach to science teaching grounded in eliciting students’ ideas and supporting student sense-making with NGSS three-dimensional science.

Educators interested in participating in the NJ STEM Fellowship in science, can apply now! All applications must be completed by April 22, 2022.
