Frontiers in Physiology Programs Research Teacher Fellows

Research Teacher Fellows

The Research Teacher Fellowship program is at the core of Frontiers in Physiology. Research Teachers (RTs) participate in three program components:

• Experiencing scientific research.
• Exploring effective pedagogy.
• Developing new materials.

Throughout the year of the fellowship, RTs participate in: 7-8 weeks of biomedical research in the laboratory of an APS member physiologist during the summer; online activities throughout the year; and a summer Science Teaching Forum to explore effective online and in-class pedagogies. In addition, RTs develop new curricular materials for use in their own classrooms and to share with teachers worldwide.

All program activities and curriculum development components are guided by the Six Star Science framework for exemplary science education.
