For those with degrees in science or math, teaching might be a next step. Through the WW Teaching Fellowship, you can receive a $32,000 stipend, discounted tuition, and mentoring.
A few spots are still open at West Chester University, one of WW's universities, where WW Teaching Fellows complete a clinically based preparation program for STEM teachers that leads to a master’s degree. The program focuses on preparing teachers for success in high-need middle or high schools in the School District of Philadelphia.
All interested candidates should complete their applications by April 24. For questions about the application process or eligibility, candidates can reach out to Neema Ndiba at ndiba@woodrow.org. A digital brochure can be accessed here to learn more about the WW Teaching Fellowship program.
The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) has very exciting summer employment opportunities for students interested in teaching physics, astronomy, and engineering.

With the normal pace of life so thoroughly disrupted, we believe that Southern Teachers can serve your physics students more meaningfully than ever before. Though you may not have physics students on campus, the ones about to graduate will still be seeking jobs soon. The hiring market, however, looks radically different than it did two months ago.
Southern Teachers helps candidates find K-12 science teaching jobs at private/independent schools around the South. Our team is in bi-weekly contact with 650 schools to ascertain their job openings. While vacancies one might see online could well be out of date, we work constantly to keep ours current.
Our process is a boon to candidates seeking teaching jobs. After a candidate applies, one of our counselors interviews the candidate to understand his/her strengths and search inclinations. For instance, we work with all different types of schools—day and boarding, single-gender and coed, secular and religious, urban and rural—and our referrals to schools are based on the interests of the candidates.
Southern Teachers is also leading the way in providing K-12 schools the best advice on how to interview and hire virtually while their normal hiring processes are disrupted.
In sum, schools are counting on the expertise we’ve honed since Southern Teachers was founded in 1902. We believe that now, more than ever before, the trust placed in us by hundreds of school employers makes us a tremendous resource for teaching candidates seeking jobs.
If you are advising graduating math students on how to pursue teaching jobs, please consider forwarding this message. Please note: this is a free service for candidates! And many jobs in private/independent schools do not require teacher certification.
If you would like to learn more about Southern Teachers, we can readily conduct virtual information sessions or virtual interviews with your students.
