ABOUT PolarTREC
PolarTREC, a program of the Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S.
(ARCUS), is a professional development program for educators, which pairs
teachers with researchers to improve science education through authentic
polar research experiences. The program integrates research and education
to produce a legacy of long-term teacher-researcher collaborations,
improved teacher content knowledge and instructional practices, and broad
public interest and engagement in polar science.
PolarTREC teachers will spend three to eight weeks in the Arctic or
Antarctic, working closely with researchers in the field as an integral
part of the science team. PolarTREC teachers and researchers will be
matched based on similar goals and interests, and teachers will be
trained to meet the program requirements prior to the field season. While
in the field, teachers and researchers will communicate extensively with
their colleagues, communities, and students of all ages across the globe
using a variety of tools including online journals, photos, other
multimedia, and web-based seminars.
Teachers and research projects will be selected and matched to fill the
approximately 12 openings available. All major expenses associated with
teacher participation in PolarTREC field experiences are covered by the
program and program partners, including transportation to and from the
field site, food, lodging, and substitute teacher costs.
PolarTREC researchers must be at U.S. institutions. Applications from
researchers on NSF-funded projects will receive priority in the selection
process. Researchers should have secured funding for their research
project prior to applying. If funding is pending and you would still like
to host a teacher, please contact PolarTREC at info [at] polartrec.com to
discuss your situation.
PolarTREC is funded by the National Science Foundation and administered
by the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States.
APPLICATION PERIOD
The application period for researchers to apply to participate in
PolarTREC began on Monday, 20 July 2015 and ends Tuesday, 8 September
2015.
