How to Apply
K-12 Teachers
Are you interested in hosting a scientist in your classroom? The CASE GK-12 program brings science graduate students into K-12 classrooms for ~10 hours per week (5 if two teachers share a fellow) over the course of the school year. Graduate fellows teach scientific methods and concepts in many climate-science related areas, such as plant and animal adaptations, genetics, invasive species, global change, and others. We encourage teachers with a range of science expertise to apply, from novice to expert. A stipend is provided.
Information sessions will be held in March. We will be accepting teacher applications for the 2014-2015 school year on March 3, 2014. Click here to download an application. Completed applications should be submitted to Tiffany DeRuyter (tlderuyter@alaska.edu) no later than 5 PM, Monday, March 31, 2014.
UAF Science graduate students

Fellows receive training in teaching methods and science communication, then go on to work in K-12 classrooms. Fellows are eligible for tuition waivers and a competitive 12-month stipend.
