Teachers
Welcome
COSMOS engages local math and science high school teachers in many ways. Please read below to find out how you can be involved.
Participating as a Teacher Fellow
The COSMOS Teacher Fellows program provides opportunities for outstanding high school teachers to participate in the UC Santa Cruz
COSMOS summer program. Each Fellow works with a team of university faculty to implement the academic portion of COSMOS. Teacher
Fellows serve as the pedagogical bridge between high school student learning and university faculty teaching. They directly
participate in all classroom and laboratory work as well as field trips (Monday - Friday 8:30-4:30). They serve a valuable role as
liaison between the residential and academic programs. Teacher Fellows may also be called upon to consult with faculty on course
design, provide supplemental instruction, mentor students, and supervise course projects.

Sharing Resources
COSMOS currently oversees the Educational Partnership Center’s ScienceShare Lending Library. This program is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, this program makes scientific equipment and materials available to teachers in the Monterey Bay region. These resources are owned by the University of California, Santa Cruz. Ultimately, this program aims to be an easy-to-use central clearinghouse of information through which the many departments and programs within UCSC can connect with members of the K-12 community, and through which science teachers can access university resources.
