Professional Development Opportunity for Teachers

Water Research, Assessment, and Networking Ecosystem (WRANE) for Informal Geoscience Instruction on Water Geoscience.

---

Teacher Support:

Funding: Through generous funding from the National Science Foundation, we are pleased to announce the development of WRANE, of professional development opportunity for teachers and a resume-building, learning opportunity for their students.   

Teachers and students will learn about geoscience research and career opportunities while developing their own community-based, water-research study.  WRANE student groups will receive mentoring from OSU geology faculty and present their research at a summer research symposium on the OSU campus.

 

Teachers will receive up to $1300 in compensation for participating in the research project. Teachers will also receive student research support in the form of classroom laboratory materials and supplies.

 

Space is limited to 5 teachers. Please complete your application as soon as possible.
