Research Experience for Teachers

Penn Outreach RETAn RET program on materials research was established at the LRSM for high school science teachers from the Delaware Valley in 1999 and since then 43 teachers have gone through this program. They are matched with faculty advisors and undertake a six week research project under the guidance of a graduate student or post-doctoral fellow in the advisor's group. Teachers are required to give both an oral presentation of their results and submit a written report before leaving the program. Teachers are also required to submit a written report in the following year on how their experience helped them in class. Penn Outreach RET
