Acadia Partners for Science and Learning
The Mitchell Center has partnered with Acadia Partners and several other organizations to connect working scientists with high school teachers to provide the teachers with training in summer institutes and with ongoing support during the school year so that they can improve their ability to support inquiry-based, student-directed field research. Examples of some projects can be found on the Acadia Partners Web site.
