Teacher-in-Residence Program, Museum of Science, Boston MA

Posted March 5, 2014

School Librarians: Want to spend your summer at the Museum of Science, Boston?

The Teacher-in-Residence program is a unique professional development model in which teachers spend five weeks immersed in an authentic museum project. During the program, teachers collaborate on a relevant museum project, participate in a weekly seminar, and work on an independent investigation of their choice.

 

This summer, the museum is seeking a school librarian interested in developing resources to improve the usability of the Museum’s borrowing library for teachers. This professional will use their experience in upper elementary and/or middle school library settings to help staff members assess how the library collection is used, and develop resources to assist teachers in locating materials within the collection. In addition, this teacher will work with staff to develop and co-facilitate one to two teacher working groups during the 2014 – 15 school year to further advise the Museum on topics related to the library collection.

 

This program will run Monday, July 7 – Thursday, August 7, 2014. Participants will receive a $3,000 stipend and Professional Development Points upon completion of program requirements. This position will be filled by a competitive application which will end on April 7, 2014. For more details, and to apply, please visit:http://www.mos.org/teacher-in-residence
