Valerie Zumbo, a chemistry teacher at New Rochelle High School, was recently selected as one of 10 science teachers for the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Teaching Fellowship for 2015 through 2016.
This is a competitive program enabling outstanding science teachers certified by New York State to be involved in a 16-month professional development experience.
Zumbo has been teaching Regents and Honors Chemistry for eight years and is now also teaching Advanced Placement Chemistry. She has been an advisor at the high school to the Science Honor Society for the past nine years.
The educator has also worked at IBM and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals and carried out research as part of the Columbia University Science Research Program. With this new fellowship, she might want to have premium Business Cards printed so she can add this to her list of credentials, highlighted that she has been recognized by the state.
According to Columbia University official Felicia Moore Mensah, PhD., this fellowship program enables teachers and education leaders in the fields of STEM to collaborate, thus helping to integrate STEM content and pedagogy.
The fellowship is made possible thanks to a grant of $75,000 from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and a partnership with the NASA Endeavor Science Teaching Certificate Project and the Teachers College of Columbia University in New York City.Get a Free Quote for Business Cards
