The QUEST Summer Fellowship Program
The Program in Teacher Preparation has three
$2500 fellowships available (plus $960 for
housing) during the 2008 QUEST Summer
Institute.

June 23 - July 3: "Pre-QUEST" Fellows Program - Work with
other Princeton University students, master teachers from local
schools and specialists on campus to learn the many facets of
inquiry science and math instruction, literacy, special education
and teaching strategies, assessment, and classroom
management. A master in-service teacher will facilitate the "PreQUEST” and “Post QUEST" program. (We will not meet on July
4th.)

July 7 – July 18: QUEST Teachers’ Institute - QUEST is a
science and math institute for elementary, middle and high school
teachers taught by Princeton University faculty and staff, and
scientists from neighboring institutions. It is designed to enhance
teachers’ knowledge of science and math through hands-on
experiments and field experiences, and to acquaint them with
ideas and activities to use in their classrooms. During the
institute, the QUEST fellows will work with a professor and
a master teacher as part of the instructional team. QUEST will
include modules in Mathematics, Science & Children’s Literature,
Oceans, Cosmology/Astronomy, Global Climate Change &
Alternative Energy. You do not need expertise in these content
areas to be a QUEST Fellow.
July 21 – August 1: Post-QUEST Fellows Program- Work with a
master teacher and the other Fellows to develop lessons and/or
assessments that you can use during student teaching or in the
future.
