Dear Teacher:

 Please join us in supporting the National Science Foundation in 
 facilitating the integration of nanoscience and technology into 
 education!

 NanoTeach is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded professional 
 development project that utilizes the Designing Effective Science 
 Instruction (DESI) framework to integrate nanoscience and technology 
 content into existing science curricula. It is a collaboration 
 between Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL), 
 the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF), the Georgia Institute 
 of Technology, the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network 
 (NNIN), and ASPEN Associates.

 We are seeking 30 public high school science teachers to participate 
 in our year-long, nationwide pilot test of NanoTeach beginning 
 summer 2010. Teachers who complete all requirements will receive a 
 stipend of $3,000 (15 days at $200/day) for the out-of-classroom 
time required for participation.

The application deadline is January 8, 2010. A special NanoTeach 
Question-and-Answer webinar is scheduled for November 17 at 5 p.m. 
EST. For more information, go to:  http://www.mcrel.org/NanoTeach/Recruiting
