The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) announces the
availability of two appointments for science teachers beginning in July,
2006. The "Research Experiences for Teachers (RET)" is a 14-week
summer program (8 weeks in 2006 and 6 weeks in 2007), designed
to allow science teachers from Boston area high schools to
participate in a program of research at SAO. During the first 8 weeks
(Summer 2006), the teachers will use this experience to develop a new
curricular unit for use in their classrooms. The following summer
(2007), the teachers will return to SAO to adjust their new curricular
material based on their direct experience with it in the classroom, to
develop this unit into a web based form for use by other teachers, and
to plan and direct a teacher workshop for other local area science
teachers in the Fall of 2007. Teachers will also be supported to
present their scientific results and their newly developed curricular
material at either the American Astronomical Society meeting or the
National Science Teachers Association meeting.
The Observatory is seeking applications from teachers with commitments from their educational institutions to introduce the lessons developed in the RET program into their schools' science curricula. Dr. Christine Jones will work closely with teachers on the analysis of Chandra X-ray Observatory observations.
For information about the Chandra project, see:
Related science curricula will be defined in concert with teachers and
in alignment with the National and State standards.
Questions may be directed to Kara Tutunjian: (617) 496-7063,

Stipends will be $800 per week.
