SMTC TSS Application Writing Sample

In the space provided below, describe in detail your responses to the following questions. Your responses to the three questions will be viewed as a writing sample and will play an important role in the evaluation of your application. Clarity in the presentation of ideas and your ability to write at a graduate student level will be considered. Responses should be thoughtful, clear, well-written, and reflect who you are as a teacher and a colleague (approximately 3-5 paragraphs).
 
1) Describe in detail why you wish to pursue a Master of Science in Natural Science Option 2 degree, including why you want to do so at this time and how you are planning to use the degree in the future.
 
2) As someone who has completed, or is currently involved in, the Teton Science Schools Professional Residency Program, describe a situation that you were particularly proud of where you were involved in teaching science to a group. Describe the situation, the group that was taught, the science content taught, your responsibility for the instruction (e.g., individual instructor, working in a team), your instructional approach, how the class was assessed, what you felt went well, and what you would change and why.
 
3) What strengths will you bring to our program and your classes that may demonstrate your ability to be a successful degree candidate and may contribute to the learning environment?
