Teachers experience how their disciplines are used outside the classroom, and how organizations conduct research, solve problems, or develop new products. STRIVE personnel conduct two one-day workshops on Inquiry teaching, and data analysis with computers. Teachers develop two inquiry or problem-based lessons. Teachers receive a $4,500 stipend, professional development credits, or graduate credits.
