What kinds of experiences, knowledge and skills will I gain at 小黄片视频?

All of our graduate students can:

  • Update your knowledge of and skills related to best practices in science teaching and learning
  • Develop your science education leadership skills
  • Join science education and curriculum & instruction professional organizations
  • Present research at state, national and international conferences
  • Work with successful science professional development programs
  • Write and submit manuscripts to journals (for master鈥檚 students, practitioner journals such as Science Scope and Science Teacher; for doctoral students, research journals)

We also encourage doctoral students, specifically, to:

  • Partner with science education faculty in an early research experience or in grant-writing
  • Conduct pre-dissertation research
  • Review conference proposals and manuscripts for science education associations
  • Teach science education courses at the undergraduate level
  • Supervise student teachers

What kinds of support can I expect?

Graduate Assistantships for graduate students (primarily at the doctoral level) are available on a competitive basis. Most Assistantships require 20 hours of work per week during the academic year. Work includes teaching undergraduate courses, supervising student teachers and other undergraduate students in field experiences, assisting in the administration and work of various centers and programs in C&I, and working with individual faculty. During the academic year, Graduate Assistants receive a nine-month stipend and waiver of all tuition and out-of-state course fees.

Please note that the School of TLC receives applications from many more qualified applicants than we are able to support with our limited resources. Because of this, you might not receive an assistantship even if you have been fully admitted to the graduate program and submit your assistantship application correctly and on time.

Other financial aid is available to qualified graduate students through the University Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
