Teaching
Pre-service science teachers
At Oklahoma State, pre-service science teachers spend time in PIs labs doing research projects whilst also learning about the nature of science and science literacy. They do science fair presentations in order to fully grasp what high school students need to learn to do well in science, and to develop scientific thinking and concepts.
In-service science teachers
In-service teachers gain experience in lab research and in the translation of lab projects into lesson plans. They also use resources and knowledge gained through the RET project to guide their mentorship of science fair students at local, state, and regional competitions.
