Science Students Benefit from Teachers' Research Experience - David Nagel, THE Journal
When high school and middle school science teachers engage in extracurricular research work, their students benefit. That's the result of a new study published in Science last week by researchers at Columbia University. In addition, they found that such extracurricular research work can also bring economic benefits to schools and communities. The research, funded in part by the National Science Foundation, focused on middle school and high school teachers in New York, who engaged in a program called the Columbia University Summer Research Program for Secondary School Science Teachers (CUSRP). The research team, led by Samuel C. Silverstein, evaluated the performance of their students over the course of several years following the completion of the program. They found a definite, statistically significant benefit for the students of the teachers who participated in the program, but only after a delay of a couple years.
