Below are some opportunities for further learning from across the country that I found in a couple of quick web searches. This collection of fellowships and certifications are not necessarily degrees in STEM teaching. If you know of any more programs, please share them in the comments!
Who: Classroom teachers; no out-of-school time focus specified. STEM content webinars would be helpful for out-of-school time providers as well.
What: online resource with webinars, blog, and other resources for educators who want to bring STEM into their programs. Also hosts two in-person summer institutes focusing on 1) increasing knowledge of STEM content and teaching techniques and 2) participating in STEM education research at Discovery's world headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Where: Online with summer institutes in Washington, D.C.
Who: Early Career Fellows, college graduates who have completed coursework in mathematics and who are new to teaching; and Master Teachers, who have at least four years of math teaching experience and who spend at least 75% of their teaching time focused on math
