Research Experiences for Teachers (RET)

RET is an NSF program whose purpose is to improve science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in schools by funding high school teachers to spend the summer in a university research lab. The teacher completes a research project and develops curriculum to be used in their class. Every summer the CCEFP hosts at least six RET teachers at CCEFP universities. A special CCEFP RET focus is recruiting teachers from area high schools participating in the PLTW program.
