On September 16, first graders at Hattie Cotton Elementar

On August 24, Nashville's WSMV Channel 4 highlighted the Scientist in the Classroom Partnership's (SCP) first foray into Metropolitan Nashville Public School's (MNPS) elementary schools with a story about Leah Potter, a Vanderbilt doctoral student in molecular physiology and biophysics working with Hattie Cotton Elementary School's second grade classes.

Hattie Cotton Elementary School is the new science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) magnet in Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS). Teachers are spending their summer in professional development sessions focusing on STEM subjects and incorporating STEM into all other areas of the curriculum.

Science Teaching Fellows (STFs) and partner teachers from the Scientist in the Classroom Partnership gathered at the Martin Professional Development Center on May 10 to celebrate the end of a successful school year. Teachers and scientists reflected upon the day they met almost a year ago and compared it to their close relationship after a year of commadarie in the science classroom. Each team developed and maintained a productive partnership to enhance the classroom and the science instruction.

Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at Vanderbilt University, Tennessee State University, Meharry Medical College, and Fisk University interested in teaching science in local public schools one day per week are encouraged to apply to for a Scientist in the Classroom Partnership.
