ARMADA Project- Research and Mentoring Experiences for Teachers

The University of Rhode Island's Office of Marine Programs is now accepting applications for the ARMADA Project- Research and Mentoring Experiences for Teachers.  The ARMADA Project provides K-12 teachers an opportunity to actively participate in ocean, polar, and environmental science research and peer mentoring.

Selected Master Teachers (with five or more years teaching experience) are paired with leading scientists and participate in shipboard, field, or laboratory research with all expenses paid.  Research experiences will take place during the summer, although there may be opportunities during the school year.  Upon completion of their research experience, Master Teachers develop ways to bring the fruits of their research experiences, including scientific data, methodologies, and technology into their classrooms.  They share their experiences by mentoring new teachers in their school district and by presenting their results at the National Science Teachers Association National Conventions.

Applications must be postmarked no later than February 5, 2007. For more information and an application, visit http://www.armadaproject.org/overview.htm or e-mail armada at gso.uri.edu <mailto:armada at gso.uri.edu>.
