Subject: $150 Scholarship to Try Teaching Description: Here's a chance to try teaching and earn a $150 scholarship for completing the course with a "B" grade or higher. The course will focus on inquiry-based teaching in an elementary school science or math classroom. TLPL 101 (1 credit) and TLPL 102 (2 credits) combined (3 credits) fulfill the scholarship in practice general education requirement. The course requires that you observe a local elementary school teacher twice and then teach two science or math lessons. Yes, that's correct. You are required to be in the elementary school ONLY a total of four times during normal public school hours (7:30 am - 3:00 pm). When doing a lesson, we suggest that you allow a 3-hour window when you are available to include travel time, set-up, and wrap-up. All of the schools are on the UM shuttle line. Fingerprinting is required. The cost of fingerprinting will be incurred by Terrapin Teachers. TLPL 101 will meet for one-hour and twenty minutes once a week. You do not have to be a science or math major to enroll. Try it, you may like it.
