American Association for the Advancement of Science
The American Association for the Advancement of Science needs scientists, engineers, mathematicians and physicians to assist K-12 STEM teachers in the Washington DC Metro Area, during the 2016-17 school year.
Details of the collaboration are worked out between the teacher and the volunteer, and may involve giving demonstrations, assisting in lab experiments, lecturing on special topics, assisting with homework, etc. The hours are flexible, and volunteers attend a one-day training in September before being assigned to schools. To see how volunteers are assisting their teachers, view the video clips at www.seniorscientist.org.
A brief presentation about the program can be found here.
If you care about K-12 STEM education and have time to share your knowledge with students and teachers, please contact bcalinge@aaas.org.

Because of a small mistake in a U.S. Department of Labor fact sheet, our recent report about how the new overtime rule applies to postdocs may have given readers an incorrect impression that teaching can affect postdocs' eligibility. (In case you've forgotten, the rule states that employees — with some exceptions — must be paid at least $47,476 a year or else receive time-and-a-half overtime pay for every hour they work above 40 per week.)

Julia McAnallen writes: "Most Ph.D.s develop a resume as the first step in their expanded, or nonacademic, job search. Once they create a resume, they apply for jobs, perhaps tweaking the resume slightly for different applications. But I argue that this order should be reversed."

Given the difficult-to-digest subject matter in many STEM classrooms, educators have customarily relied on traditional lecture-based educational methods where they spend class time walking through content and then assign homework problems to supplement that learning.
