Professional DevelopmentProfessional development opportunities offered through the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute, the Yale Peabody Museum Fellows, and the Program in International Education Resources have served to strengthen teaching and learning in all of the local schools. Each year through these programs Yale faculty members and New Haven's teachers work together using the University's world-class resources to study subjects in-depth and develop new curricular materials for the public schools.
Center for Research on Interface Structures and Phenomena (CRISP) Fellowships The CRISP Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) fellowship program offers New Haven area teachers a six-week summer research experience. Fellows become part of an interdisciplinary research team at Southern Connecticut State (SCSU) and Yale University, working together with University faculty and graduate students. Each interdisciplinary team consists of a network of researchers with diverse backgrounds in engineering, physics, applied physics, chemistry, and industry, researching a topic of common interest in Materials Science. Participants will meet other research groups at SCSU and Yale University and learn about research being performed in CRISP laboratories at Yale University. Fellows either receive a stipend or course credit in SCSU’s M.S. in Science Education Program. Info: www.crisp.yale.edu/education_teachers.html
