SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a currently approved information
collection.
NOAA provides educators an opportunity to gain first-hand
experience with field research activities through the Teacher at Sea
Program. Through this program, educators spend up to 3 weeks at sea on
a NOAA research vessel, participating in an ongoing research project
with NOAA scientists. The application solicits information from
interested educators including: basic personal information, teaching
experience, and ideas for applying program experience in their
classrooms, plus two recommendation and a NOAA Health Services
Questionnaire required of anyone selected to participate in the
program.
Once educators are selected and participate on a cruise, they write
a report detailing the events of the cruise and ideas for classroom
activities based on what they learned while at sea. These materials are
then made available to other educators so they may benefit from the
experience, without actually going out to sea by themselves. This
collection supports NOAA's mission by providing educators an
opportunity to gain first-hand experience with field research
activities through the Teacher at Sea Program.
NOAA does not collect information from this universe of respondents
for any other purpose than to determine which educators will
participate in the NOAA Teacher at Sea Program.
