Congratulations to the 7 teachers who completed the six-week NSF Research Experience for Teachers summer program at CIVS. At the end of the summer program, the teachers presented their research projects and how their research will be implemented in their course curriculum over the school year.

In addition to carrying out their research, teachers developed lesson plans to use with their students during the school year that tie their research experiences to academic standards and introduce them to potential careers in research and industry.

RET facilitator and CIVS Senior Research Scientist John “Jack” Moreland concluded the session by presenting the teachers with their certificates of achievement during the RET Teacher Ceremony. This event celebrates their achievement and a chance to showcase their future goals for enhancing STEM education and students’ STEM interest.
