Research Experiences for Teachers
Summer
Research Opportunities for Teachers
Each summer, the CCEFP research universities host six or more high school teachers
for the summer. Teachers engage in CCEFP research projects and create curriculum
to take back to their class. The goal of the
Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program is to expose teachers to cutting
edge research and to encourage teachers to bring research inspired curriculum
and inquiry approaches to their students. The RET program is structured and
funded by the National Science Foundation. If you are a teacher, we hope
that you will consider joining us this summer for a unique, stimulating experience
that will contribute to your professional growth and will ultimately help
your students.
The RET program is six weeks and takes place in the summer. Teachers
are paid a stipend and receive funding for research supplies and materials.
The CCEFP locations hosting RET teachers change each year.
