K-12 teachers in cohort-3 of the Michigan Teacher Excellence Program (MiTEP) will share experiences from the 3-year suite of professional development activities involving Earth science education. In addition to providing exemplary, inquiry-based lesson plans and teacher-authored EarthCache sites, each teacher will provide one take-away activity, strategy, or leadership opportunity that has been career-changing. These teachers will be available after the session to answer questions or to elaborate on their experiences. Their work is available electronically at <mitep.mtu.edu>.
