The Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes (NMSSI) offers convenient and affordable graduate courses in mathematics for middle-level and secondary teachers over one or two weeks to help you take advantage of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's professional development opportunities. We want to bring your attention to two mathematics classes and one STEM course in Omaha (rooms TBD at the Teacher Administrative Center, 3215 Cuming Street):
Math 811T: Functions for High School Teachers (Class # 13774), June 5-9 and 12-16, 8 a.m. – noon
CSCE 890: Robotics for Teachers (Class # 3249, permission code needed), June 5-9 and 12-16, 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Math 805T: Discrete Mathematics for Teachers (Class # 3229), July 17-21, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Course descriptions can be read in the accompanying stories in this email.
To enroll in UNL graduate courses in the NMSSI, follow the four steps outlined on the website, http://scimath.unl.edu/nmssi/. This year we are offering 30 math and science courses across the state and online to meet your professional development needs. Check out our course catalog to read about them all.
For all on-site NMSSI courses, current Nebraska teachers automatically qualify for a tuition reduction 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 (note that the CSCE course has higher tuition, but more fellowships are available). Read more about the costs at: http://scimath.unl.edu/nmssi/2017/costs/. The NMSSI Fellowship Application is also now open at http://go.unl.edu/scimathapply
