Leadership

KSTF leads the way in recruiting, preparing and retaining outstanding high school mathematics and science teachers who are leaders in their communities and the teaching profession. Over 140 Fellows strong, the KSTF teaching and research network today extends coast to coast across 32 states. The KSTF Teaching Fellows, who teach the highly complex disciplines of mathematics and physical and biological sciences, will impact nearly 14,000 students in the 2009-2010 academic year alone. The KSTF Research Fellows, engaged in critical research in education, prepare teachers at some of the nation’s top universities including University of California, Pennsylvania State University and Michigan State University.

Widespread professional network

KSTF’s programs and practice are supported by a widespread network of prominent scientists, mathematicians and educators. This distinguished group includes KSTF’s advisory committee, reviewers, interviewers, resource teachers and KSTF’s evaluation team. From the initial, rigorous selection process to leadership grants for senior Fellows who are making an impact beyond their own classrooms to interactions between Teaching and Research Fellows, KSTF’s comprehensive approach ensures that KSTF Fellows become teacher leaders in science and mathematics.
