——————–

PolarTREC (Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating) is

currently accepting applications from teachers for the seventh year of

teacher research experiences. Teachers are invited to submit an

application to participate in field research learning experiences during

the 2013 (usually arctic) or 2013-2014 (usually Antarctic) field

seasons.

ABOUT PolarTREC

PolarTREC–a program of the Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S.

(ARCUS)–is a professional development program for educators, which

pairs teachers with researchers to improve science education through

authentic polar research experiences. The program integrates research

and education to produce a legacy of long-term teacher-researcher

collaborations, improved teacher content knowledge and instructional

practices, and broad public interest and engagement in polar science.

 

PolarTREC teachers will spend two to eight weeks in the Arctic or

Antarctic, working closely with researchers in the field as an integral

part of the science team. PolarTREC teachers and researchers will be

matched based on similar goals and interests, and teachers will be

trained to meet the program requirements prior to the field season.

While in the field, teachers and researchers will communicate

extensively with their colleagues, communities, and students of all ages

across the globe, using a variety of tools including online journals,

photos, 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 and program partners, including transportation to and from the

field site, food, lodging, and substitute teacher costs.

 

PolarTREC is funded by the National Science Foundation Office of Polar

Programs.

 

Application deadline: Monday, 3 September 2012, 5:00 p.m. AKDT.

 

An archive of the informational webinar (web seminar) held for

teachers and researchers interested in the PolarTREC program is
