Earth2Class: An Effective and Easily Duplicable Model for Providing a Broad Impact of Cutting-Edge Science, Teacher Professional Development, and Inspiration for High School Students

We describe Earth2Class, a professional development model that connects classroom teachers with research investigators so that they and their students can learn about cutting-edge discoveries, long before mention is included in textbooks. Teachers and students attending “live” programs at the Lamont...
