UNAVCO Headquarters in Boulder, Colorado

The UNAVCO Master Teacher-in-Residence summer program is developing a cadre of master science teachers with knowledge about Earth science and the application of geodesy to study Earth processes. Applying user-centered design principles, our goal is to involve teachers, faculty, and UNAVCO staff to collaboratively create a suite of learning materials to be used in high-school classrooms, college-level introductory geoscience courses, and professional development workshops. This individual will work at UNAVCO headquarters in Boulder, CO in the summer for two weeks.

Each master teacher-in-residence will:

• Work with UNAVCO staff to refine and create Earth science materials for high school classrooms.
• Pilot-test project materials in his/her classroom during the next school year.
• Provide UNAVCO with a written report describing pilot-test experiences in implementing materials in the classroom and examples of student work. This will contribute to continual improvement of UNAVCO materials.
• Interact with UNAVCO in the future in the context of professional development activities, dissemination of curricular materials, etc.  (Specifics to be decided)

Housing, transportation, and a stipend are available.
