Polar Outreach Catalogue

The teacher conference was developed to give teachers and other educators an opportunity to share their experiences and to interact with researchers and other educators from around the world. Thanks to generous funding from the Research Council of Norway, 114 teachers received a reduced conference registration fee, lodging, and most meals for the entire conference, plus a special two-day workshop. Participants could also elect to receive two graduate-level credits from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. After the two-day workshop, the teachers attended conference presentations and poster sessions, and had numerous gatherings for networking, sharing and international social interactions.
