Teachers are Important Members of the Research Teams: For some of the research projects, we are seeking a teacher from the same school as accepted students to be a co-researcher (~15 hrs/wk). As a member of the research team, you will be learning about the research side-by-side with the students, connecting daily with the student team as a mentor and collaborator, and seek opportunities to embed the research process or content into the classroom. All other research projects will need a teacher mentor (~2 hrs/wk) who will touch base weekly with the students to discuss their research progress and identify any issues/challenges being experienced.
