Brief Program Description
|
Professional development coupled with research
and design experiences provides middle and high school teachers an
opportunity to develop interesting, cutting-edge science and engineering
classroom connections.
The Northeastern University RET program is
a summer experience that not only provides opportunity for authentic
research by middle and high school teachers, but also provides effective
inquiry-based professional development, opportunities for review of
high-quality curricula, and connections to national, state and local
educational standards. In addition to presenting an overview of their
research, teachers develop units tied to their classroom curriculum
and have opportunities to present these units to each other and content
specialists for feedback before they introduce them to their students.
