SEA CIRTL Fellows Program Ͼ

This opportunity is for all current graduate students at UMBC that are interested in being a SEA CIRTL Fellow for the Summer Enrichment Academy (SEA) at UMBC and the CIRTL program at UMBC. 

SEA CIRLT provides one-week camps for middle and high school students to stay engaged, have fun learning new skills, and get excited about higher education at UMBC. These SEA CIRTL fellows will develop and implement a SEA one (1) week course in a topic of their choice (appropriate to middle schoolers/high schoolers) with guided mentorship in Fall 2024 and Spring 2025, and implement the course with SEA in Summer of 2025. 

Fellows will be required to attend a variety of sessions that help them solidify their course ideas, learn about teaching approaches that are accessible and engaging for high school and middle school students, and plan their course. This will all count toward a CIRTL certificate, which is a nationally recognized teaching certificate! Upon teaching the course in Summer 2025 and completing all the professional development activities, Fellows will be paid a $1000/week for 1 week if the course runs. 

Note: Courses are run as half day camps for a week (5 days), and Fellows will be able to choose two choices of weeks of these five options: June 23-27, July 7-11, July 14-18, July 21-25, July 28 - Aug 1.  Please complete this form by September 18, 2024.

Shortlisted participants after the first round will be asked to submit a 1 min video pitch. Details will be communicated after the first round.
