Bay Campus Outreach Program Description: The ARMADA Project provides K-12 teachers an opportunity to
actively participate in ocean science research and peer mentoring.
Master Teachers develop ways to bring the fruits of their
research experiences, including scientific data, methodologies, and
technology into their classrooms.
They share their experience by mentoring new teachers in
their school district and by presenting their results at National
Science Teachers Association National Conventions. Prior to embarking on their research project, ARMADA Master
Teachers participate in an intense training workshop that
encompasses standards-based pedagogies, mentoring and coaching
strategies, and investigations of advanced ocean science content and
resources. ARMADA Master Teachers are paired with leading ocean
scientists, and participate in lab, field, or shipboard research
with all expenses paid. ARMADA Master Teachers serve as mentors to colleagues in their home
school district who are new to teaching science. During the two academic years following their research
experience, ARMADA Master Teachers and Mentees work together to
integrate the research experience into the classroom and identity
related standards-based resources and curricula. The ARMADA Project is a five-year project, funded by the National
Science Foundation, developed and administered at the University of
Rhode Island's Office of Marine Programs in collaboration with URI's
Graduate School of Oceanography, the Joint Oceanographic
Institutions, the Consortium for Oceanographic Research and
Education and the JASON Outreach Program Impact Statement: Teachers who participate in the ARMADA Project participate in
hands-on ocean science research, collect data that can be brought
into the classroom, receive stipends for training workshop, research
experience, and mentoring, earn URI graduate science credits, and
attend two NSTA National Conventions.
Scientists who participate in the Project receive
enthusiastic research assistance, are connected to a wider audience,
and have access to a well-designed outreach program for channeling
their results. Students
gain renewed teachers that are inspired to teach science, are
educated by teachers with relevant scientific experience, experience
working with real data and see science as a viable career choice.
