PolarTREC research experience application deadline: October 1, 2010
PolarTREC - Teachers and Researchers Exploring and
Collaborating is currently accepting applications from teachers and researchers
for the fifth year of teacher research experiences during the 2011
(usually Arctic) or 2011-2012 (usually Antarctic) field seasons.
ABOUT PolarTREC:
PolarTREC, a program of the Arctic Research Consortium of the
U.S. (ARCUS) and funded by the National Science Foundation, pairs
K-12 teachers with researchers for professional development through
teacher research experiences in the polar regions. The program
integrates research and education to produce a legacy of long-term teacher-researcher collaborations, improved teacher content
knowledge, and broad public interest and engagement in polar science.
Through PolarTREC, teachers spend two to six weeks in the
Arctic or Antarctic, working closely with researchers in the field as an
integral part of the science team. While in the field, teachers and
researchers will communicate extensively to communities and students of
all ages across the globe, using a variety of tools including online
journals, photos and other multimedia, and web-based seminars.
Teachers and research projects will be selected and matched to
fill the approximately 12 openings available. All major expenses
associated with teacher participation in PolarTREC field experiences are
covered by the program, including transportation to and from the field site,
food, lodging, and substitute teacher costs.
