Research Experience for Teachers
Short Description
Provides middle and high school math and science teachers with an intense period of in-depth study in CCMR's research facilities.
Description
Research Experience for Teachers (RET) provides middle school, high school and community college math and science teachers with an intense, six-week period of in-depth study at the CCMR laboratories with facility managers, faculty, and graduate students. In the RET program, six select science teachers spend the first five weeks primarily in the CCMR Shared Experimental Facilities. They work together as a team to understand how the equipment in the facility works and to solve research problems set out by the facility manager. The sixth week is dedicated to developing a materials science related lesson plan based on their experience in the facilities.
