Apply now for the Spring 2016 Undergraduate Pre-Teaching Math/Science Internship at Centennial Academy!

All majors are welcome!


Detailed description of the internship and all application material may also be found at www.preteaching.gatech.edu/internships.

Complete application packet is due by 11:59 PM October 26, 2015.


Application deadlines for two Pre-Teaching internship opportunities have been extended to May 13, 2015 for the following programs:

Did you know that some unpaid internships can be done for academic credit, while paid internships such as the Pre-Teaching internships can be done for audit credit? Audit credit serves as a place holder during the semester but does not count towards the total hours needed to graduate. For example, if you have an internship for six audit credit hours, you only need six more for full-time student status. You do not receive academic credit for the internship, but you also do not pay tuition or fees on the internship hours. Audit credit also assures that your internship goes on your transcript as part of your permanent academic record. Apply for a Pre-Teaching internship!

The Algebra Project​ is seeking six student assistants for May 2015 - June 2016. Please see the attached information. The Algebra Project (AP) was founded in 1982 by a Harlem-born and Harvard-educated Civil Rights’ leader, Dr. Robert P. Moses through the use of his MacArthur Fellowship​ award. Over the past two decades, AP grew from teaching math in one school in Cambridge, MA, to more than 200 middle schools across the country by the late 1990s, developing successful models of whole-school and community change.

AP’s unique approach to school reform intentionally develops sustainable, student-centered models by building coalitions of stakeholders within the local communities, particularly the historically underserved population. Since 2000, we have continued to provide the context in which students, schools, parents and communities maximize local resources and take ownership of their own community building and mathematics education reform efforts, which now include high school as well as middle grade initiatives.

The civil rights work in the 1960s culminated in the national response to protect a fundamental right: the right to vote. Our current work seeks a national response to establish a fundamental right: the right of every child to a quality public school education.​
The Algebra Project is recruiting students from Atlanta area universities for its Atlanta-based program.

The application is due April 22 and the application link is here. Weekly hours are between 18-20 and are paid at $15/hour.

Centennial Academy Internship Details
Deadline: October 24, 2014 by 11:59 P.M.
The Pre-Teaching 2015 spring term intern at Centennial Academy (former Centennial Place Elementary), a K-8 problem-based inquiry learning charter school in Atlanta Public Schools, will support a teacher in the implementation of the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards for Mathematics or the Georgia Performance Standards for Science (earth, life or physical). The specific discipline focus of the internship will be dependent upon the applicant. The emphasis of the experience will be on meeting the needs of a wide spectrum of learners including those with learning and behavioral challenges. 
The internship qualifies for six audit credit hours free of tuition and fees. Interns are paid $10/hour and must work 20 hours per week during spring semester. 


Career Opportunities for Education, Arts & Sciences Majors:
Southern Teachers Agency has helped great schools hire great teachers since 1902. We recruit top talent from college schools of education, teacher-training programs, and—what many folks may not realize—from wide-ranging academic departments. We seek top scholars and student-athletes who are called to lead, to connect with teenagers, to help children.


At K-12 private/independent schools, elementary teachers must hold degrees and licensure in elementary education. Requirements for middle and high school teachers are frequently more flexible at private schools. For example, science majors (and even science minors!) may teach science. Spanish majors teach Spanish. Simply put, completing a teacher certification program or earning a degree in secondary education is not a hiring prerequisite.  

Teaching at private/independent schools means building close relationships in small classes, innovating and collaborating, inspiring discovery, focusing on learning—not on test taking. School communities include dedicated faculty, supportive alumni, and devoted parents who invest time and tuition to prepare children for college and for lives of leadership and service to others.

  • STA’s reach is expansive. While we are a regional company, we receive thousands of job listings from nearly 600 schools in 16 states, from the Middle Atlantic south to Florida and west to Texas.
  • STA’s staff is excellent. Placement counselors provide personal attention in assembling credentials files, preparing for interviews, and discerning job opportunities. 
  • STA’s Recruitment Fairs let candidates advocate for themselves to a host of prospective school employers. 
  • STA’s services are free to candidates. Schools pay for our services—because they want the best.

Deadline EXTENSION! October 20, 2014 by 11:59 p.m.
