9911107IretonScience teachers in K-12 schools are for a number of reasons often unable to pursue scientific research interests that may have been sparked during their university studies. This can be a detriment to attracting science-oriented students into the teaching profession. The lack of opportunity to follow research also means that the science teacher is not able keep abreast of developments in the Earth Sciences. This program will bring science teachers and research scientists together as partners to address this issue. The program, Science Teacher and Research Scientist (StaRS), will provide the opportunity during summer break for science teachers to work in a research setting for six to eight weeks with AGU members and then to share their experiences with colleagues and students in their schools and at professional meetings. This award is for a workshop to bring together selected teachers, scientists, teacher educators, and funders to develop an implementation plan. The workshop will be held at AGU headquarters in Washington, D.C. to design a program with community input. The workshop will include a plan of action for implementing a scientific research program for teachers and a report from the participants on the merits of research experiences for teachers and benefits for their students.

[9911107]由于种种原因，K-12学校的科学教师往往无法追求他们在大学学习期间可能激发的科学研究兴趣。这可能不利于吸引理科学生进入教学行业。缺乏跟踪研究的机会也意味着科学教师无法跟上地球科学的发展。这个项目将把科学教师和研究科学家作为合作伙伴聚集在一起，共同解决这个问题。这个名为科学教师和研究科学家（StaRS）的项目将在暑假期间为科学教师提供与AGU成员一起在研究环境中工作6至8周的机会，然后在学校和专业会议上与同事和学生分享他们的经验。这个奖项是为了举办一个研讨会，将选定的教师、科学家、教师教育工作者和资助者聚集在一起，制定一项实施计划。研讨会将在华盛顿特区的AGU总部举行，目的是设计一个有社区参与的项目。研讨会将包括一份教师科研项目实施行动计划和一份与会者关于研究经验对教师的好处和对学生的好处的报告。
