The evaluation methodology looks at the outcomes for teachers: |
- Use themes in astrobiology to teach complex thinking and challenge students with current issues and investigations from developing scientific areas.
- Improve understanding and use of effective science inquiry methods focused on interdisciplinary science.
- Contextualize science in students' lives by embedding instruction in their interests, experiences, and skills.
- Work together with students to apply computer software and interesting technological tools in the analysis of scientific data sets.
- Develop language and literacy across the curriculum in a way that promotes student competence in science.
- Teach through "Instructional Conversation" and engage students in discussion though dialog.
- Motivate high school students from diverse communities to pursue science and math courses by identifying and promoting traditional and non-traditional career opportunities in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) areas.
