Oklahoma State University is offering a summer research experience for teachers (RET) which will provide Oklahoma middle
school teachers (6th – 9th grades) with the opportunity to partner with Oklahoma State University to perform research in engineering and to develop curriculum units that will enhance middle school students’ research abilities and knowledge of engineering. The program is a year-long commitment, consisting of professional development workshops, laboratory research, and curriculum development. The middle school teachers who graduate from the TERMS program will leave with an understanding of the research process and experience in implementing inquiry-based learning around the theme of engineered materials and structures. Teachers will develop effective techniques for translating research experiences into simple and affordable experiments designed to engage students in the middle grades and will begin to build long-term, sustainable relationships with Oklahoma State University faculty and other middle school teachers across Oklahoma. for more information go to: http://ret.okstate.edu
