Session ID#: 13679

Session Description:
We invite presentations on experiences, models, and outcomes of successful initiatives that provide authentic research experiences for educators and students at all levels. Presentations can address the roles of scientists and education experts in bringing research experiences to the classroom. We welcome presentations from educators, scientists, and students as well as those who design, facilitate, evaluate or fund programs. Presentations can focus on designing and implementing research experiences that align with national, state, and/or local reform efforts in science education. Other topics may include recruitment strategies, program sustainability, internet and archival research projects, citizen science, mentoring, student outcomes, evaluation results, and lessons learned from past efforts. Additionally, we invite presentations from student-led research projects. Presentations are welcome from all scientific disciplines: astronomy, planetary and space science, geology and geophysics, seismology, biogeoscience, atmosphere and ocean sciences, climate and environmental science, etc. Materials provided by presenters will accompany the session.
