Project ExSEL
Cohort Participation in Project ExSEL
Project ExSEL is designed to provide ongoing support through the undergraduate years while students work to complete their undergraduate degree program and the teaching licensure program. Project ExSEL also supports teachers during their first two years as novice teachers.
In its fullest application, Project ExSEL scholars are involved in an instructional experience throughout their undergraduate degree program. They get to experience the joys and rewards of teaching by serving as laboratory assistants, peer leaders, and instructional assistants. As they progress, their instructional responsibility increases through both their discipline-based activities and their licensure program. By their senior year, these experiences merge in their student teaching semester.
Opportunities are provided for them to participate in programs such as cohort building activities, appreciation events, and field experiences and to share academic and instructional experiences. These experiences will be available during the regular academic year and the summer. Each Project ExSEL scholar will be expected to contribute to the group and take advantage of the professional growth opportunities that will help transform them into not only successful high school science teachers, but also into professionals who will be major contributors to and leaders in society as their careers advance; the Project ExSEL scholars will be our next teacher leaders.
