Planning to take a graduate course this summer to continue your professional development or to get one step closer to earning your master’s degree? Registration is now open for summer courses at UNL through the Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes (NMSSI), which offer graduate mathematics and pedagogy courses using a teacher-friendly delivery model.
To enroll in UNL graduate courses, follow the four steps outlined on the Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes website, http://scimath.unl.edu/nmssi. This year we are offering 30 courses across the state and online to meet your professional development needs. Check out our course catalog, which supplies the needed class numbers for either Teach Nebraska registration or MyRED.
The following three NMSSI courses for K-12 teachers are coming to Central Nebraska this Summer (June & July): MATH 804T for 6-10 teachers will be held in Hastings from June 13-17; and MATH 804P for grades K-5 teachers and MATH 800T for grades 3-7 teachers will be held in Grand Island from July 11-15. Each course is from approximately 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and includes free lunch. Most courses will meet at an ESU office or a district administration office, rooms TBA. See course descriptions in the accompanying stories in this email.
For all on-site NMSSI courses, current Nebraska teachers automatically qualify for a tuition fellowship from UNL equal to 20 percent of in-state, graduate tuition. Additionally, Nebraska K-12 teachers can apply for supplemental NMSSI Fellowships to further defray tuition costs for NMSSI courses. The NMSSI Fellowship Application is also now open at http://go.unl.edu/scimathapply.
