Launching the Teacher Research and Mentoring ARMADA

这是一个综合性的国家五年期项目，旨在建立一个促进海洋科学研究人员、教师和专业科学家-教育工作者之间可持续伙伴关系的系统。合作伙伴包括：罗德岛大学海洋学研究生院、联合海洋学机构、海洋研究和教育联盟以及杰森基金会。目标是：1)通过教学和教学培训、研究经验和指导活动，促进SMT教师的留用和更新；2)促进和维持海洋科学研究事业与K-12教育的结合，将通过以下方式实现：1)培训和研究；2)指导新教师；3)ARMADA框架和资源传播。每年将有12名硕士教师(MT)加入无敌舰队。每名MT随后将指导两名新教师，为期两年。共有216人参加。在舰载夏季研究体验之前，将举行为期一周的准备研讨会。随后将积极参加为期10-20天的夏季海洋科学研究体验。在NSTA等专业会议上为ARMADA教师举办的有组织的课程将加强对海洋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.
