Teacher Fellows serve as the pedagogical bridge between high school student learning and university faculty teaching. They directly participate in all classroom, laboratory and field work and serve as a liaison between the residential and academic programs. Teacher Fellows also are trained to teach the COSMOS Science Communication Course curriculum, which provides students with oral and written presentation skills; review and interpretation of scientific research; and final group project preparation.
Teacher Fellows may also be called upon to consult with faculty on course design, provide supplemental instruction, mentor students and supervise course projects. COSMOS provides the opportunity for Teacher Fellows to work with gifted and talented high school students from all over the state, form relationships with university researchers and scientists, exposure to the distinguished guest speakers as they share cutting-edge research in our weekly lecture series, gain access to university resources and learn the latest information regarding UC admission and financial aid criteria.
