Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree program in Secondary Education American Universityıs School of Education, Teaching and Health (SETH) and the Departments of Mathematics & Statistics and Environment Science in partnership with The Carnegie Institution of Washington's Carnegie Academy of Science Education (CASE) have launched From the Laboratory to the Classroom (Lab2Class) in Washington, DC. The goal of Lab2Class is to ensure excellence in science and mathematics teaching in DC public and public charter middle and high schools by recruiting, training, and retaining talented science and mathematics teachers who commit to teaching in DC schools for a four-year period. The first cohort of Lab2Class Fellows will start in the Summer of 2013. These cohorts are generously funded through a grant from the National Science Foundation's Teaching Fellowships track of the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program and the Toyota USA Foundation. Lab2Class recruits fellows who demonstrate both science or mathematical talent and a strong commitment to the teaching profession and service in DC. Fellows participate in SETH's Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree program in Secondary Education: Science or Mathematics. After completion of the MAT program, fellows teach math or science in DC schools for at least four years. For information go to http://www.american.edu/cas/seth/grants/lab2class.cfm
