Administrators from the Developing, Recruiting and Empowering Alabama Mathematics Teachers, or DREAM, are hosting an online informational session via Zoom at 6:30 p.m. CT on Thursday, April 7, to provide details for anyone interested in becoming a mathematics teacher.

The DREAM-Math project is designed to help those who are not currently a teacher but who have a mathematics or other STEM degree that includes at least 15 hours of mathematics (at or above Calculus I) become a mathematics teacher. DREAM-Math will provide substantial funding for 12 teaching fellows to complete a full-time, four-semester master’s-level teacher certification program beginning in May. It will also support them in launching their careers, including a $10,000 annual stipend for the first four years of their careers if they teach in a high-need school.

The session is available via this Zoom link, and the program is designed for anyone who is interested in becoming a mathematics teacher and make a positive difference in students’ lives throughout Alabama communities.
