This planning proposal recognizes the constraints imposed on Alaskan schools by geography and small school populations while at the same time recognizing Alaskan opportunities for learning in context. The Renewal component will consider the constraints on -- and solutions to -- problems associated with having a distributed cohort of experienced teachers participate in a brief but intense field experience using those ubiquitous Alaskan commodities, SNOW and ICE. The Retention portion will consider the constraints and procedures necessary to involve small populations of novice teachers from Alaskan Districts in 137 hours of close mentoring using the snow- and ice-field work along with appropriate curricular materials (NSF supported GLACIER) to provide learning in context. The final planning activities involve determining through pilot work the adequacy of follow-up work in short 1-2 day workshops during spring breaks, etc. as times when teachers from distributed districts can come together.

该规划提案认识到地理和学校人口较少对阿拉斯加学校造成的限制，同时也认识到阿拉斯加在环境中学习的机会。 更新部分将考虑与让一群分散的经验丰富的教师使用无处不在的阿拉斯加商品、SNOW 和 ICE 参与简短但密集的现场体验相关的问题的限制和解决方案。 保留部分将考虑必要的限制和程序，让来自阿拉斯加地区的小部分新手教师参与 137 小时的密切指导，利用冰雪场工作以及适当的课程材料（NSF 支持的 GLACIER）来提供情境学习。 最终的规划活动包括通过试点工作确定在春假等来自分散地区的教师可以聚集在一起的短暂的 1-2 天研讨会中后续工作的充分性。
