Field Experience

Were you in the field this season? No

Continued Collaboration with Reasearch Team Members

Type of Interaction / Outcomes / Dates / Locations / Parcticipants: In this year I was accepted into the program. I attended the overview seminar at the CRRL in Hanover. At this stage my research assignment is not known.

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

Transfer

How are you sharing your research experience with your colleagues, district, community, etc? I have organized my mentor group at my High School. It consists of four teachers in Biology, Physiology, Chemistry and Physics. I developed my mentor plan with their input. We will be focusing in on the research done in Antarctica. Together we have written two grant proposals, a local one through the Salem Schools Foundation titled "TEA-Titans Experiencing Antarctica" and a Toyota Tapestry grant titled "90 degrees South, a Polar latitude with a Scientific Aptitude" Both proposals seek money for equipment to do real research in our classrooms that relate to Antarctica. Such as a Mini-Refrigerated Ocean Aquarium, or a Solar Telescope.

At this point my district has established a travel ban on teachers. We are not allowed to go out of district for professional development. I am currently arguing the legality of this issue with the Superintendent.

Should be a grand year! I will be getting my mentors and students parcticipating in research.

I look forward to spending a summer learning of my research assignment.

I will be in Antarctica communicating with my students.
