CSATS Summer Research Experience for STEM Teachers Program – Mar 27
Posted by Penn State College of Education on February 10, 2026
The Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Program is a seven-week summer program for middle and high school STEM teachers. RETs conduct research with a host laboratory for the first six weeks of the program and prepare for the summer research symposium during the seventh week. Teachers selected for the program will participate in ongoing research projects with university science or engineering faculty and work with CSATS science education faculty to develop a classroom research project based on their research experience.
For Summer 2026, the RET program is being offered through a combination of remote, hybrid, and in-person placements at Penn State Harrisburg (Middletown, PA) and Penn State University Park (University Park, PA).
During this 7-week, full-time research experience, teachers work alongside Penn State faculty members to conduct authentic research and receive PA STEELS/NGSS-focused virtual professional development by science education faculty members at Penn State Center for Science and Schools (CSATS) to help translate the experience to the classroom.
Deadline to Apply: March 27, 2026
