Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Program @ Stanford/ IBM ARC/ UC Davis/ UC Berkeley
The goals of the RET Program are similar to those of the SURE Program: to spark teacher interest in and excitement about science and scientific research; to expose teachers to research environments; to teach teachers fundamental concepts of science and engineering; to provide teachers opportunities to work closely with faculty, industrial scientists, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students to build a valuable networking arena; and to energize teachers through a professional development experience. Most importantly, we aim to provide teachers with a solid foundation of how research is conducted in today’s world and assist them in incorporating what they experience into materials they can use to teach their students.
