[SEMCO] Opportunity for middle school teachers

[Anne Smrcina]

Please forward this information to any middle school science educators 
with interests in the seasons, oceans, weather and related topics.  Your 
assistance in spreading the word is appreciated.

Middle school science educators are invited to join the development team 
for:
"Earth as a System is Essential: Seasons and the Seas" NOAA Project. 

Participating teachers will work alongside NOAA scientists, educators 
from three states (ME, MA and NH), and the Maine Mathematics & Science 
Alliance to develop and pilot curriculum units that bridge the gap 
between traditional studies of seasons and weather and the seasonal and 
climatic changes in the Gulf of Maine using NOAA resources.

The two-year project will include two Summer Institutes (July 21-25, 
2008 at the University of New Hampshire; 2009 Institute TBD), with 
follow-up 1.5-day workshops each year.  Teachers will be expected to 
pilot the newly developed curricular materials in their classrooms.  
Travel, meals and lodging for the institutes and workshops will be 
covered and a $500 stipend will be earned for participating in each 
institute.

A copy of the application form is attached.  For more information visit
