Launching the Teacher Research and Mentoring ARMADA

这是一个为期5年的综合性国家项目，旨在建立一个系统，促进海洋科学研究人员、教师和专业科学教育工作者之间的可持续伙伴关系。 合作伙伴包括：罗得岛大学海洋学研究生院、联合海洋学研究所、海洋学研究和教育联合会以及杰森基金会。 目标：1）通过教学法和内容培训，研究经验和指导活动促进SMT教师的保留和更新，以及2）推进和维持海洋科学研究企业与K-12教育的整合将通过以下方式实现：1）培训和研究; 2）指导新教师; 3）阿尔马达框架和资源传播。 每年将有12名硕士教师（MT）加入阿尔马达。 每个MT随后将指导两名新教师两年。 共有216人参加。 为期一周的准备讲习班将在船基夏季研究经验之前举行。 随后将积极参与为期10-20天的夏季海洋科学研究体验。 阿尔马达的教师在诸如国家海洋科学技术协会等专业会议上有组织地参加会议，这将加强对海洋学研究和教育感兴趣的教师的专业学习社区。

This is a comprehensive, national, 5-year project to develop a system for fostering sustainable partnerships between ocean science researchers, teachers and professional scientist-educators. Partners in the collaboration include: The University of Rhode Island Graduate school of Oceanography, the Joint Oceanographic Institutions, the Consortium for Oceanographic Research and Education and the Jason Foundation. The goals of: 1) fostering SMT teacher retention and renewal through pedagogy and content training, research experiences and mentoring activities, and 2) to advance and sustain the integration of the ocean science research enterprise with the K-12 education will be achieved through: 1) Training and Research; 2) Mentoring New Teachers; 3) An ARMADA Framework and Resource Dissemination. Each year twelve Master Teachers (MT) will join the ARMADA. Each MT will subsequently mentor two new teachers for two years. There are a total of 216 participants. A one-week preparation workshop will precede the ship-based summer research experience. This will be followed by active participation in a 10-20-day summer ocean science research experience. Structured sessions for ARMADA teachers at professional meetings, such as NSTA, will strengthen the professional learning community of teachers interested in oceanographic research and education.
