Webinar Registration

PolarTREC, a program of the Ar ctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS), is a project through which middle and high school teachers, as well as informal science educators participate in polar research, working closely with scientists as a pathway to improving s cience education.

The program integrates research and education to pr oduce a legacy of long-term teacher-researcher collaborations, improved tea cher content knowledge and instructional practices, and broad public intere st and engagement in polar science. PolarTREC projects focus on a wide vari ety of research activities occurring in both the Arctic and Antarctic, prov iding an outstanding opportunity for researchers to share their passion for polar science through topics that naturally engage students and the wider public.

Through PolarTREC, teachers spend two to six weeks in the Arc tic or Antarctic, working closely with researchers in the field as an integ ral part of the science team. PolarTREC teachers and researchers are matche d based on similar science interests and selected researchers will have the opportunity to interview top applicants and make final selections.

T eachers participate in an orientation and are trained extensively to meet t he program requirements prior to the field season. While in the field, teac hers and researchers communicate extensively with their colleagues, communi ties, and students of all ages across the globe, using a variety of tools i ncluding online journals, forums, podcasts, and interactive webinars from t he field.

PolarTREC researchers must be at U.S. institutions. Applica tions from researchers on National Science Foundation (NSF) funded projects will receive priority in the selection process. Researchers should have se cured funding for their research project prior to applying. If funding is p ending and you would still like to host a teacher contact PolarTREC to discuss your situation and future opportunities.

If you are interested in particip ating in PolarTREC, but are unable to apply during the application period, please contact PolarTREC staff to discuss opportunities for future participation.
