Teacher Fellows from 2023 Class collaborate
Our STEM Teacher Fellowship offers educators an unique opportunity to gain real-world IT experience
The AF STEM Teacher Fellowship offers educators an opportunity to work in our software department, data, IT security or technical infrastructure areas and gain real-world, hands-on experience to help students prepare for these types of careers. The STEM fellows also build a valuable network with other STEM instructors participating in the program and those working in corporate IT roles.
“With the demand for IT professionals continually on the rise, helping teachers understand the trends impacting businesses helps lay the groundwork for our next generation workforce to have another career path,” said Diana Bittle, senior vice president, assistant chief operating officer at American Fidelity. “Having our STEM educators work with our IT team during the summer is one of the most rewarding things we do here at American Fidelity. We look forward to meeting the STEM Fellowship class of 2024.”
Applications for this year’s program are open to third through 12th-grade STEM teachers and are due by Feb. 23. Prospective candidates must be able to attend an interview March 22, either in person or virtually.
The selected candidates will earn $30 per hour and each receive a $2,000 stipend for their classrooms upon completion of the program. The program aims to have onsite collaboration as often as possible at American Fidelity headquarters in Oklahoma City as well as built-in flexibility for virtual participation.
“American Fidelity is willing to invest in us and give us the freedom to learn new things that will help us train future IT employees,” said Idabel Public Schools teacher and 2022 STEM Fellow Brian Wall.
The 2024 class begins June 3 and will welcome 15 teachers, among the largest program classes to date. Interested teachers can find more information and apply here.
