Teacher Leadership Opportunities

The Baxter Center for Science Education works to provide a variety of leadership opportunities for local educators. From bringing teachers to Northwestern to conduct research and develop lessons through our Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program to providing tools for teachers to develop their own workshops, we want to partner with educators in finding joy as leaders within their schools, districts, and communities. We also welcome ideas from teachers that link to the BCSE’s mission and priorities. You can read more about the BCSE’s mission on the About Us page.

Here are some examples of what Teacher Leadership with the BCSE can look like:

• Apply to be a part of our Research Experience for Teachers program
• Lead a session at the Baxter Center Symposium
• Work with the BCSE to develop an evening or weekend workshop
• Co-facilitate a workshop with one of our existing teacher leaders
• Organize a subject-specific meet-up with support from the BCSE
• Host a BCSE workshop in your space
• Try out labs or develop supporting materials for the Box Program
