individuals with backgrounds in the STEM fields—science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics—into teaching in high-need secondary schools
in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and New Jersey. Eligible applicants include

school for one full year prior to becoming the teacher-of-record in a science

end of the first year, they obtain salaried employment in high-need schools.)

-support of a cohort of WW Fellows passionate about science and math
education
-lifelong membership in a national network of Woodrow Wilson Fellows who are
