TEACHER PROGRAMS

The NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) AESP provides professional development workshops for teachers in the six state area of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. These activity-based workshops are designed to enhance educators' understanding and comprehension of aerospace. Each workshop is correlated with the national science and mathematics standards.

Educator Resource Center
Through the NASA Educator Resource Center Network (ERCN), NASA provides expertise and facilities to help educators access and utilize science, mathematics, and technology instructional products aligned with national standards and appropriate state frameworks and based on NASA's unique mission and results.

Learning Technologies Project (LTP)
LTP captures the educational potential of NASA and GRC programs and conducts and facilitates educational projects at all levels of the American educational system.


Lewis' Educational and Research Collaborative Internship Program (LERCIP): Fellowships for Secondary Teachers
This 10-week paid Summer Fellowship Program is offered to secondary teachers. The program allows an educator to work with a NASA scientist or engineer on a specific task and expand his/her knowledge about the aerospace program.



Become a NASA Explorer School and your school or school district will enter into a unique three-year partnership with NASA to bring exciting opportunities to educators, students, and families through:
--Sustained professional development
--Exciting student learning opportunities
--Integration of technology
--Involvement of families
NASA Explorer School educator and administrator teams, working with NASA personnel and other educational partners, will develop and implement team Action Plans for staff and students. The action plan will promote and support the use of NASA content and programs to address the teams' local needs in mathematics, science, and technology. Educators and students in a NASA Explorer School will become involved in the excitement of NASA research, discoveries, and missions through participation in engaging NASA learning adventures and scientific challenges.
