NOAA Teacher at Sea Program
Deadline: December 31, 2009
Application: http://www.einsteinfellows.org/application.html
Have you ever thought about shipping out to sea? This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association program is accepting applications from K–12 teachers for the 2010 field season. The program provides a unique environment for learning and teaching by sending kindergarten through college teachers to sea aboard NOAA research and survey ships to work under the tutelage of scientists and crew. Then, armed with new understanding and experience, teachers bring this knowledge back to their classrooms. Most participants try to sail on cruises offered during the summer, but cruises take place throughout most of the year on a space-available basis.
NASA Ames Education Associates Project
Deadline: December 31, 2009
Application: http://eap.usra.edu/
This experiential learning project enables K-12 teachers and university students and faculty to experience NASA. Selected applicants participate in and contribute to an effort at a NASA facility. Academic credit for the experience is available. Opportunities are available year round.
This project is open to students and faculty members at accredited U.S. colleges and universities, active K-12 educators, and postdoctoral students. Most positions are open to applicants with backgrounds in science, engineering, and technology, but opportunities are also available for those with social science, business, communications, arts, and humanities backgrounds.
EcoTeach Environmental Expeditions
Deadline: December 31, 2009
Application: [1]
This conservation-oriented company is looking for middle school and high school teachers and college instructors who would like to bring their students to Costa Rica to work with endangered sea turtles.

Two bilingual naturalist guides accompany the group throughout the trip. Teachers can travel free and earn graduate credits. Eco-Teach also offers trips to Alaska and Mexico.

Earthwatch Institute's Live from the Field Fellowships
Deadline: April 12, 2010
Application: http://www.earthwatch.org/aboutus/education/edopp/lff
Live from the Field educators join research teams on one- to two-week expeditions during the school year and share their experiences directly with their students back at home by posting journal entries, photos, lessons, and suggested activities online, as well as through live video or phone conferences with their classrooms. Given the opportunity to work with leading scientists at research stations around the world, participants gain field research skills, explore different cultures, and learn about global conservation issues.
