Space Foundation Selects 29 Teacher Liaisons
Colorado Springs CO (SPX) Jan 27, 2009 The Space Foundation has named 29 outstanding educators as its 2009 Flight of Teacher Liaisons in recognition of their active promotion of space and science education in their classrooms and their communities. Drawn from 25 different schools in California, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, and Texas, the new Teacher Liaisons will serve as advocates for space science education and use Space Foundation-provided training and resources to further integrate space into their classrooms. The 2009 Teacher Liaisons will be publicly recognized at the Space Foundation's 25th National Space Symposium, which is being held March 30 - April 2 at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo. The highly regarded Space Foundation Teacher Liaison program is in its sixth year and has more than 275 active participants, including the 2009 Flight. Honorees are selected by a panel comprising experienced Teacher Liaisons and representatives from the space industry and the military. In addition to the recognition activities, the 2009 Teacher Liaisons will participate in workshops and education programs at the 25th National Space Symposium. Teacher Liaisons from Colorado's Front Range also have the opportunity for their students to participate in Symposium programs; grades 3-8 can hear from an astronaut and grades 9-12 can visit the Symposium's extensive Boeing Exhibit Centers. Following the Symposium, Teacher Liaisons can take advantage of specialized training and instruction at Space Foundation and NASA workshops with optional graduate-level credit; exclusive science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) professional development experiences with optional continuing education credit; and special space-oriented student programs created just for Teacher Liaisons.
