As part of a larger proposal, would careers in high school teaching be considered within the SMP guidelines of “careers in… nonprofit organizations, and government agencies”?
The Science Master’s program is geared toward students who wish to go to industry, business, the non-profit sector or government. The NSF already has a program – The Robert Noyce Teacher scholarship program – that is directed toward careers in teaching and producing master’s level teachers. However, preparation for STEM education -related, non-teaching careers in industry, business, etc. would be allowable.
