Involving middle and high school teachers in Andrews LTER research

The goal of our Schoolyard LTER program is to increase K-12 teachers’ understanding of environmental science research by involving them in LTER research projects, and to expand their capacity to involve their students in similar field-based science inquiry. This poster highlights long-term professional development programs for middle and high school educators at the Andrews LTER site, including the Research Experience for Teachers program, and the Researcher-Teacher Partnerships project which involves teachers in global climate change research.
