ARM Sponsors Barrow Teachers to Attend NSTA Conference

 
Published: 1 February 2007

Beginning March 29, 2007, teachers from across the United States will flock to Saint Louis, Missouri, to attend an annual conference hosted by the National Science Teacher’s Association. This year, the ARM Program will sponsor two teachers from the North Slope of Alaska to attend the conference as part of an International Polar Year (IPY) outreach effort. Several workshops and symposia related to the IPY are on the conference agenda this year, which will be especially relevant to Alaska teachers.

The Superintendent of the North Slope Borough School District in Barrow will select two science teachers to attend the conference; ARM Education and Outreach staff will also attend the workshop and utilize the time to build stronger working relationships with the Alaska teachers.
