[Apologies if you get this from several different lists. -Elizabeth] Please pass this on quickly. Deadline is 2/15/01. >Memo: Summer Professional Development Opportunity > >TO: Science Teachers and Specialists, Grades K-12 with interest and >experience in obtaining classroom resources via the web. > >From: Mark Davis > >Deadline: February 15, 2001 Thanks to funding from the National Science Foundation, NSTA has created a three-year program to train a cadre of teachers to become Webwatchers. This cadre--selected for their knowledge of science, education, and technology--will research and select web sites which can be integrated into science curricula, and they will share the fruits of their research with other teachers through the NSTA web site. Institutes will be held each summer at NSTA Headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. Cadre members will receive travel and lodging expenses, a daily per diem, and a $60/day stipend for the 11 days of the Institute. There will be two sessions this summer, one for grade 7-12 teachers, and one for K-6 teachers. If you would like to be considered for this summer's Institute, please complete the application form located at http://www.scilinks.org/nsfinstitute/ by February 15, 2001. You will be asked to review a web page using criteria derived from NSTA's highly successfulsciLINKS program, and you will need to clip and paste your c.v. or resume. The only criteria for the Webwatcher program is that you are currently a teacher, grade k-12, and you teach in the United States. (The program is funded by U.S. tax dollars). >Participants will be selected by March 15, 2001.
