Professional Outreach Strategy Template
**Due Date: Due Before Departing for the Expedition**
**Review After Returning from the Expedition**
As you develop your Professional Outreach Strategy, include the following in addition to ideas of your own:
● What opportunities do you have to share your experience with teachers in your district or state (i.e. conferences, workshops, in-service days, etc.)?
o I am a NSTA and CSTA member
o I am a NMEA member
▪ I plan to submit a PolarTREC proposal about my experience and talk at NMEA in 2017.
● What can you do to prepare other teachers in your school or district for following your expedition? Do they need access to technology or specific training?
o The hard part about the timing of my expedition is that June 15-July 9th is after school has ended. My main connection during the summer is the summer science camp that I am polar connecting into in July. I will reach out to more of my summer school science teacher friends.
● Are there connections you can make in your school outside the science department?
o Not really, but I will try.
● Are there regional, state, national, or international conferences that you would be interested in presenting this experience to?
o I would like to present at NMEA next year.
o I would love to present at NSTA next year but I missed the deadline for proposals. I will find other conferences to present to.
● Where do you plan to share lesson plans or other materials created for your expedition?
o I plan to share them with the 50 LAUSD teachers that I work with.
o I plan to share them with the NOYCE science teacher network
o I plan to share them with the Rossier Science education masters students through a faculty member named Dr. Freking.
