Science Immersion Program

New York City schools have an especially high need for qualified science teachers. To address this need, the Fellowship will begin offering Science Immersion an option for Fellows who are interested in teaching science. This program will help individuals who have an academic background in science but who did not major in a science to gain certification in that area.

Eligibility for the Science Immersion program is determined on a case-by-case basis; to meet minimum criteria, you must have successfully completed at least eighteen credits in science (e.g., biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, etc.). Each Science Immersion Fellow will be required to pass the Content Specialty Test (CST) in the specific science s/he is assigned to teach.
