Research Experience for Teachers (RET) 2021
The NSF-funded Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program matches K-12 teachers with scientists for 8-10 weeks of field data collection and independent research. The goal of the RET program is to enhance the professional development of K-12 science educators through research experience at the emerging frontiers of science in order to bring new knowledge into the classroom. The RETs become intensely involved in individual research projects, and are exposed to our broader research program. Our Research Experience for Teachers page highlights past teacher experiences at the Andrews Forest. This image gallery features RET partcipants Whitney Davis and James Stoe, middle school teachers from Fern Ridge Middle School in Oregon.
