Summer, 6 month or one year opportunities exist in Hong Kong and Singapore for undergraduates.

FCA is looking for students who are passionate about software engineering, have experience in tutoring pre-teens or teens (in any subject), and have an entrepreneurial and startup mindset. AppJamming Extensive is FCA’s flagship program, first launched in 2013 with the sponsorship of Google Hong Kong. FCA has been featured on CNN, in The Huffington Post, and many others.

All Corps members receive professional-caliber training to help them implement Jumpstart’s outcome-based program, promote children’s school success, and build family involvement. 

Corps members complete an intensive commitment and make a substantial impact in the life of a young child. During the school year, Corps members participate in the following activities: 


Serve part-time, 8-12 hours per week, during the school year, including: 
  • Jumpstart sessions with team and small groups of children, 4 hours per week (two sessions per week for two hours each)

Pre-Teaching Office is Relocating

Posted by Admin On 1:56:00 PM 0 comments

The Pre-Teaching program is moving into the Center for Career Discovery and Development on the 1st floor of the Bill Moore Student Success Center. The transition will be complete by August 7.

Contact information:
Susan Belmonte, Pre-Teaching Advisor 
Center for Career Discovery and Development
1st Floor Lobby
Bill Moore Student Success Center
Atlanta, GA 30332-0105


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!

PRE-TEACHING SUMMER UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH EXPERIENCE APPLICATIONS NOW AVAILABLE!


Deadline: May 13 2015 by 11:59 PM

The Pre-Teaching Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (PT-SURE) is a paid research experience in a Georgia Tech laboratory for undergraduate students interested in pursuing a career in secondary (grades 6-12) education. Participants will also have the opportunity to broaden their understanding of laboratory research and research methods. The program is in conjunction with the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) and the Georgia Intern Fellowships for Teachers (GIFT) program that brings middle and high school Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) teachers together with researchers and graduate students in Georgia Tech laboratories. The goal of the GIFT program is to provide teachers summer STEM internships in university research laboratories and industry workplaces so that they can develop curriculum and lesson plans for the school year that integrate real world applications. PT-SURE students become an integral part of this development process over the course of the summer. Participants may also have the opportunity to work with high school students participating in the Research, Experiment, Analyze, and Learn (R.E.A.L.) component of the GIFT program in the same lab.*
*PT-SURE participants will not be teaching or learning to teach high school or middle school students but will instead be actively engaged in working with teachers and possible student teams to develop curriculum and lesson plans based upon the research carried out over the summer.
