K-16 Fellowships Summary
K-16 Tutor/Coach
Program Description:
Undergraduate and/or Graduate Students will be placed in a variety of locations in Baltimore City and surrounding counties in Elementary, Middle, and High Schools to help promote inquiry-based learning and tutor/coach students in a range of subject areas such as Reading, Math, and Sciences. The goal of this fellowship will be to enhance K-12 students’ knowledge, as well as performance on the Maryland School Assessment, the standardized test used in Maryland to gauge student achievement. Opportunities are available during and after school hours.

Research Fellows Program

K-16 Research Fellows will visit their placement school to present research done at UMBC. Typical presentations have included the beginning stages of research (i.e. developing a question and hypothesis), the findings and conclusion of the research, and overall strategies and techniques on how to perform research. Our hope is that your research and the process you take to complete it will inspire K-12 students to engage in their own research.
