CMB Major Doug Peterson Receives Woodrow Wilson Fellowship
Date: May 29, 2011
Cell and Molecular Biology major, Doug Peterson was one of the students to receive in the Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship.
The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship program seeks to:
Increase both the number of STEM teachers and the quality of secondary-level STEM instruction, which will likely boost high school graduation and college attendance and completion rates.
The Woodrow Wilson Foundation works to redesign curricula to improve teacher preparation and create clinical experiences in schools to help teacher candidates succeed with diverse populations.
The Fellowship helps retain high-quality teachers by ensuring that their preparation is aligned with the skills teachers need to succeed in high-need schools, including significant teaching experience. Upon receiving their master’s degree, Fellows are assisted in securing teaching placements within districts that have strong leaders, experienced teacher-mentors, and pre-existing relationships with participating teacher education programs. Every Fellow receives ongoing, intensive mentoring and assessment focused on the first three years of teaching, as well as opportunities for continuing education.
Grand Valley State University is one of six Michigan universities chosen to participate in this innovative program to prepare science and mathematics secondary teachers.
