Last chance for $300 fellowships for math course
Fellowships worth $300 are available until May 20 to help cover tuition for courses for teachers through the Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes (NMSSI) from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln this summer. We have already awarded more than 150 fellowships to Nebraska teachers and have around 50 more to give out.
Join your colleagues today in applying for an NMSSI Fellowship before May 20: https://cse.unl.edu/scimath/apps/apply.php. All current Nebraska mathematics teachers also automatically qualify for a 20 percent reduction in the cost of tuition.
We would like to bring your attention to a course being offered June 10-14 in Ainsworth for grades 5-10 teachers. MATH 802T: Functions, Algebra and Geometry (Class # 2957, Sec # 952) will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at ESU 17. This course is designed to help teachers gain a deep understanding of the concept of function and the algebra and geometry concepts taught in the middle-level (through early high school) curriculum. Studying this content at a deeper level will help teachers better prepare their students for the NeSA-M. Participants also will study measurement with an emphasis on length, area and volume.
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 as a non-degree-seeking graduate student 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.
Visit our website http://scimath.unl.edu/nmssi for the NMSSI course catalog, and email Lindsay Augustyn at laugustyn2@unl.edu with any questions.
