Program Highlights:

*         Join a research project in your area of interest at a top-rate laboratory on or near the UC Berkeley campus.

*         Experience hands-on, inquiry based science and math lessons at weekly seminars.(option to earn 3 units through UC Berkeley Summer Sessions.)

*         Learn to bring research skills acquired during your internship into a K-12 setting.

*         Create and present a poster demonstrating your research accomplishments, identify a lesson plan that aligns with your research, and assemble a digital portfolio that reflects on your summer research experience and future plans to teach.

*         Meet and connect with aspiring teachers from campuses across the UC system.

*         Receive a housing allowance and stipend totaling $5,000.



Spend the summer doing research in a paid internship on the UC Berkeley campus, and learn more about bringing experimental and problem-solving skills into the K-12 math and science classroom!



The Cal Teach Berkeley Summer Institute is a full-time nine-week program from June 18th to August 17th that combines a research lab placement and a weekly seminar course. Students will engage in cutting edge research in science, math, engineering or education in a lab on or near the UC Berkeley campus for 36 hours each week. In addition, students will participate in Integrating Research Methods into K-12 Teaching in Mathematics & Science, a weekly seminar class. Through this course, students will learn effective teaching strategies for K-12 science and math education and conduct demonstrations of K-12 science and math lessons. Using their research placement as a starting point, Summer Institute students will also develop their own lesson plan for a K-12 classroom.



The Summer Institute is open to UC system undergraduate science, math or engineering majors interested in a career in teaching. Preference is given to students finishing their junior year. Interns will receive a housing allowance and stipend totaling $5000.

"I have always wondered what it is like to analyze the data, since I am interested in the math used in analysis...I never thought that it was possible to be both a teacher and researcher. After this experience, many more windows of opportunity are open."
