In partnership with the San Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE) and their San Mateo Environmental Learning Collaborative (SMELC), Flows To Bay is supporting the Sustainable Watersheds teacher fellowship.
(SMELC) is a series of paid teacher fellowships that build teacher capacity for designing and delivering learning experiences that are student centered, problem-project-based, solutions-oriented, and integrate real-world environmental justice issues.
The Sustainable Watersheds fellowship (just one of 6 topics being offered) starts with a 4-day Summer Institute from August 3 – 6, 2020. This professional learning intensive centers around building knowledge and skills, and designing Solutionary Units of Study through hands-on activities and workshops.
After the Summer Institute, teachers are provided ongoing support for planning and implementation through coaching, content knowledge development, and collaboration throughout the fall school semester. The fellowship culminates with a capstone event where fellows share their piloted unit of study and findings with one another.
San Mateo County teachers who complete the 6-month fellowship program are awarded a $500 stipend funded by Flows To Bay. Teachers from any grade level from K-12 in all subject areas are invited to apply today.
SMELC 2020-21 Cohorts run from Summer 2020 to February 2021 and applications are due by June 1, 2020. Click here to apply today or learn more about this program and other available topics on the SMELC website.
