Teacher Workshops Overview
Our professional development workshops for middle school and high school science teachers began with 12 participants in the summer of 2006. A dozen high school life science teachers from all over Southern California were invited to the Beckman Center for Conservation Research to experience a week in the life of a conservation scientist. The pilot program focused on the conservation history and recovery of the California condor, and was designed to bring topics of conservation science into local classrooms.

Over a decade later, we have built a nationally recognized and fully accredited program with a stellar reputation for giving teachers access to unparalleled information and experiences. To date, we have trained more than 1200 middle and high school science teachers and informal science educators from all 50 states and 20 countries. Participants spend their days in intensive study in the Conservation Education Lab and their evenings at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, engaging with staff members and acquiring invaluable new skills to take back to their home campuses. During the workshop, teachers work together to frame content standards in the context of wildlife conservation and explore ways to challenge students to apply textbook knowledge of life science to current biodiversity challenges. Participants engage in activities that focus on critical issues facing endangered species using a variety of advanced technical tools and techniques; all activities support the Next Generation Science Standards and can be implemented back in the classroom. Our grant-funded scholarships for this residential program include all meals and lodging, and a $500 stipend paid upon completion of the full program.
Eligibility
While our program started in 2006 with an audience of solely formal life science teachers, today we welcome applications from both informal and formal educators. For formal 6-12 educators, our emphasis is now on site teams of 2-3, with at least one science teacher "anchor", and 1-2 non-science teachers interested in incorporating conservation in their subjects and engaging in cross-curricular projects centered on student action and wildlife conservation!

In 2018, we piloted workshops in three new locations: Hawai'i, Michigan, and Kenya. We are tentatively planning to deliver workshops in these locations again in 2019, but applicants for these workshops will be restricted to the immediate geographical area. As always, we welcome applicants from every state and country to our traditional workshops based out of San Diego. We also opened a registration option in 2018 for educators with access to professional development funds that can cover the cost of attending the workshop which will will continue in 2019. Educators who wish to register for the workshop and guarantee their spot will pay a $2000 fee which includes all of the same experiences and accomodations as applicants.

Posted on April 16, 2018 by USAEOP

The Next Generation STEM Teaching Project (NGSTP) is an AEOP initiative geared towards increasing professional development opportunities for K-12 teachers. Recently, we had a chance to speak with Dr. Edwin Kamau, chief of molecular diagnostics and malaria vaccine development at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), and hear about his experience as a guest teacher at Toms River South High School in New Jersey with NGSTP.

Why did you choose to participate in AEOP's Next Gen STEM Teaching Project (NGSTP)?

Dr. Kamau: I have been involved with AEOP's Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP) since around 2006. When I was at the WRAIR the first time (between 2005-2012), I used to take summer students whenever I can. As a matter of fact, some of my most important scientific publications were developed with some of the students that came to me through the program. Also, I am involved in teaching at some capacity in other programs internationally because not only do I believe in science, I believe the next generation has great potential of being better scientists than we are and it is my generation's responsibility to provide opportunities for them.
Why should scientists consider participating in NGSTP?
Dr. Kamau: It's an extremely rewarding experience. My experience at Toms River South High School was memorable. The students are eager and willing to learn, they're smart and they look up to you to guide them and make life choices. You inspire them but more important, they inspire you to be a better scientist and a mentor because they appreciate your work and believe in you.
Can you describe your school visit?
Dr. Kamau: As part of the NGSTP, I was paired with Mrs. Charlene Wallace of Toms River South High School in New Jersey to support DNA Sequencing and Analysis lessons. Mrs. Wallace and I communicated several times to go over her lesson plan. She extended an invitation for me to visit and help the students with the class lab activities. Before each class arrived, we would set up the lab by preparing samples and equipment. When the students settled in class, we would introduce them to the activities and ask them to proceed. As the gels were running, I had 20 minutes to briefly cover topics related to DNA fingerprinting. But most important, I had an opportunity to tell them more about the Military, the Army, WRAIR and the many opportunities that they should consider as they make career choices. I also met with faculty and other student organization groups that were interested in learning about my experiences as a military scientist. In total, I taught and met with over 100 students. It was an amazing experience and I was fascinated by the enthusiasm of the faculty, Mrs. Wallace and how well this program allowed me and other STEM practitioners to interact with the community.
What do you think the students took away from this experience?
Dr. Kamau: In addition to the science, the students were fascinated to learn about science in the military and the opportunities available. They were inspired by my life story and my work.

What would you say to other professionals considering NGSTP?

Dr. Kamau: It's an experience like no other to share your profession with eager students. You might just change the world by inspiring that one child who will become a Nobel laureate or the world's greatest science teacher.
