The application form for the 2012 UNH Earth Systems Science for Teachers course is now available, and must be completed and submitted online. The application can be found at the Leitzel Center's TESSE webpage http://leitzelcenter.unh.edu/geo-teach/index.html. If the links are not working properly, the application can be more directly raised using https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/V7JJMLP. Below is the most recently distributed announcement. We are greatly pleased that the generous grant from the National Science Foundation (GEO-0631377) will provide financial support for UNH to offer the Earth Systems Science for Teachers course (ESCI 795/895) again in 2012. Seating for this course is limited and is expected to fill up. The grant supports teacher tuition and fees (value $1,250 - $1,450), costs for field trips, room and board for those staying on campus (lunch commuters), and a $1200 stipend. This 3-credit course, designed for middle and high school in-service science and mathematics teachers, integrates the systems-level treatment of Earth Science along with inquiry-rich pedagogy. It is designed from an interdisciplinary point of view, so teachers from all subdisciplines within science and mathematics are welcome to attend. The course will run from July 16 - 27, 2012 at UNH-Durham. Selections for this course will be made from an application process. Course registrations are handled after the application process and admissions are announced. Information and application will be posted on the course webpage http://leitzelcenter.unh.edu/geo-teach/index.html, beginning May 21, 2012. The application deadline is June 1, 2012.
