Help NASA/JPL Review Instructional Lessons and
Receive
an Educator Certificate of Participation
The NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory Office of
Education
and Public Outreach is seeking volunteers to assist
in
the alignment of NASA instructional lessons to the
National Science Educational Standards. We are
looking for motivated educators to spend 5-10 hours
to
help place our NASA curricular lessons into a matrix
containing the National Science Education Standards,
using a set of rubrics we have developed.
If you would like to view a demo version of the
Proposed Science Education Standards Matrix, click
here:
http://quilt.jpl.nasa.gov
Following this exercise we would like to elicit
feedback from you about the particular instructional
lesson you were given, the rubrics used, as well
as the overall process.
Upon completion of the assignment you will be
provided
with a Certificate of Participation: NASA/JPL
Education Materials Standards Alignment Review, as
well as a free NASA poster.
Qualifications for entry are: (1) At least one year
K-12 science teaching experience, (2) Knowledge of
science content standards (national, state, or
district), and (3) Internet access.
