Toward this goal, ORAD is evaluating the suitability of data and information available from ORAD for teachers and students in grades K-12. We are examining the usefulness of ocean remote sensing data for suggesting studies to be conducted by the students in the classroom. We encourage ORAD scientists to work with educators in providing materials for the classroom. Scientists frequently give presentations to students in grades K-12. ORAD supports summer internships for public school teachers and for students preparing for a career of teaching science.
Staff prepare handout materials and web pages specially tailored for educational activities.
ORAD scientists are developing a tutorial in Ocean Remote Sensing for the general reader and non-specialist. The following links provide more detail on the various activities of ORAD directed toward educational opportunities and presentations. Working with research staff these teachers prepare handout materials specially tailored for use by teachers of science in the pre- college school levels, from elementary schools through high school. You may request these pamphlets by e-mail. Upcoming ORAD Presentations for Educators  - ORAD Scientists give educational presentations at training conferences for teachers and other professionals.
