>The Teachers Experiencing Antarctica and the Arctic (TEA) Program is
>seeking active K-12 science and social science teachers who have a strong
>interest in bringing exciting current research to their students and
>colleagues!
>
>Through the TEA Program, teachers journey to polar regions to participate
>in field research. The TEA teacher works closely with scientists, is
>involved in cutting-edge science, and is immersed in the process of
>science. Enveloping this field experience are professional development
>opportunities through which TEA teachers increase content knowledge,
>enhance teaching skills, transfer the experience to the classroom, assume
>leadership roles, and collaborate with a network of researchers and
