EET Recruiting Teachers for Field Testing

The Earth Exploration Toolbook (EET) seeks science or technology teachers in grades 6 to 12 to field test online materials with students. Teachers will receive a $250 stipend for their participation.

The EET is a collection of step-by-step guides for using Earth science datasets and scientific tools for learning. Chapters in the Toolbook walk teachers through the steps of downloading data and using a software tool to analyze it. Chapters are available for teachers and their students to analyze populations, explore climate change, examine the relationship between precipitation and streamflow, investigate earthquakes, and monitor environmental change. Tools utilized in the chapters include spreadsheets, image processing software, and a GIS. To find out more about each chapter, click on Chapters in the EET in the menu to the left. In addition to these chapters, several other chapters not shown here are under development.

We offer ongoing opportunities for teachers to test these materials with students and provide feedback to chapter developers. If you are interested in field testing one or more EET chapters, please fill out the information below. Your name will be added to a list of potential field testers. As chapters become ready for field testing, you will be contacted about your availbility. If you have already sent an email to Carla_McAuliffe@terc.edu, then you do not need to resumbit your name again here. You are on our list! Thank you in advance for your interest and assistance!
