Science Teacher and Research Scientist Workshop

9911107 IretonScience教师在K-12学校是由于多种原因，往往无法追求科学研究的兴趣，可能已经在他们的大学学习期间引发。 这可能不利于吸引理科学生从事教学工作。 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。 该计划将把科学教师和研究科学家作为合作伙伴聚集在一起，以解决这个问题。 该计划，科学教师和研究科学家（StaRS），将在暑假期间为科学教师提供机会，与AGU成员一起在研究环境中工作六到八周，然后与学校的同事和学生以及专业会议分享他们的经验。 这个奖项是一个研讨会，汇集了选定的教师，科学家，教师教育工作者和资助者制定一个实施计划。 研讨会将在华盛顿，华盛顿特区的AGU总部举行，以设计一个有社区投入的项目。 研讨会将包括一项实施教师科学研究方案的行动计划，以及与会者关于教师研究经验的优点和学生受益的报告。

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.
