Research Experiences for Teachers
The SEMESTER@DEP program provides a unique opportunity for teachers to
participate in ongoing research or monitoring programs alongside DEP staff.
Teachers work as temporary DEP employees from four to six weeks during the
summer. This program targets new science teachers, minority science teachers,
and science teachers from underserved or low performing schools.
- In Summer 2008, DEP hosted 24 teachers for hands-on research projects
as part of the Panhandle Area Education Consortium's (PAEC) Science Collaboration: Immersion, Inquiry, Innovation
or Sc:iii project. Read about their experience:
