Seventy-five middle school teachers will be selected via lottery to attend in-person or for special virtual programming - one third each of veteran, intermediate, and novice research teachers. Travel, lodging, and meals will be covered for in-person attendees.

Please complete the following information to sign up to be notified when the lottery opens.
Eligibility:
