Were you in the field this season? No

Continued Collaboration with Research Team Members

Type of Interaction / Outcomes / Dates / Locations / Parcticipants: There has been no other collaboration with members of my research team since I have left the field. In fact, I never even had a follow up meeting after the field work. I was a co-author on a paper from work I was involved with from members of another team (University of Arizona). The person that I worked with in Greenland has since left the United States for his home land in German. His name was Hanz Jacobi.

Has a member of your research team visited your classroom in the last year? No

2. Community / Colleague Outreach

Transfer

How are you sharing your research experience with your colleagues, district, community, etc? I share my research experience with many students and classrooms. I have made contacts throughout the State of Connecticut (Bolton Elementary School, Avon Middle School, Keeney Elementary School) and now I have expanded to New Hampshire where I have made contact with a TEA Associate. I will also extend my experiences to my own classroom this year as well as from the past years.
