Summer 2016 is a great time to join with other Nebraska teachers and take a math or pedagogy course offered by the Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes. It is possible to receive a $300 NMSSI Fellowship that is applied directly to the cost of tuition, but the funding is limited. Find a course, register and apply for a fellowship now: http://go.unl.edu/scimathapply. All current Nebraska mathematics and science teachers also automatically qualify for a 20 percent reduction in the cost of tuition for courses not online.
Visit our website http://scimath.unl.edu/nmssi/2016 for the NMSSI course catalog. Brand-new courses this year are:
*TEAC 880P: Instructional Technology in K-8 Math Classrooms
*MATH 896: Linear Algebra for Teachers
*TEAC 808E: Improvement of Instruction in Mathematics
*BIOS 897: Ecology and Evolution of Arachnids for K-12 Educators
*TEAC 924A: Enriching Elementary Science Practices
To register for this class or other NMSSI courses, if you have not taken a graduate course at UNL in the past year, you need to enroll via Teach Nebraska through a very quick, simple application: http:///www.unl.edu/gradstudies/teachneb . Completing this application and the NMSSI Fellowship application are all you have to do to take advantage of this opportunity. If you have taken a course recently at UNL, you can enroll in MyRED.
The Benefits of the NMSSI:
* Nebraska teachers automatically qualify for a 20 percent discount on in-state tuition at UNL for courses not online
