 About GK-12

The National Science Foundation's Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) Program supports teaching fellowships for graduate students in the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The GK-12 Program is a collaboration of three school districts: the Boston Public Schools, the Milton Public Schools, and the Dedham Public Schools.

The Neponset River watershed, which encompasses the participating school districts and UMass Boston, provides a common theme for content classes and field/laboratory modules covering both fundamental concepts in biological diversity and in physical sciences. In addition, modules contain mathematics skills that complement the curriculum requirements. School district curriculum coordinators will participate to adapt lessons and modules into the schools' long-term plans.
