NanoTeach project seeks high school teachers for nanotechnology curricula pilot |
|
(Nanowerk News) The NanoTeach project announces a NSF-funded opportunity for high school science teachers to participate in professional development to support the integration of nanoscience and technology into their existing curricula.
|
|
NanoTeach is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded professional development project that utilizes the Designing Effective Science Instruction (DESI) framework to integrate nanoscience and technology content into existing science curricula. It is a collaboration between Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL), the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF), the Georgia Institute of Technology, the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN), and ASPEN Associates.
|
|
The project is seeking 30 public high school science teachers to participate in our year-long, nationwide pilot test of NanoTeach beginning summer 2010. Teachers who complete all requirements will receive a stipend of $3,000 (15 days at $200/day) for the out-of-classroom time required for participation.
|
|
The application deadline is January 8, 2010. A special NanoTeach Question-and-Answer webinar is scheduled for November 17 at 5 p.m. EST. For more information, go to: http://www.mcrel.org/NanoTeach/Recruiting
