[NCSG Educators] MESSENGER Educator Fellow Program

[Mark Fischer]

MESSENGER Educator Fellow Program

MESSENGER is a NASA Discovery mission that was launched in 2004 and 
will reach Mercury in 2011. We are recruiting 30 practicing teachers 
or teacher trainers to become the next cadre of MESSENGER Educator 
Fellows. These Fellows help bring the excitement of this challenging 
mission to classrooms nationwide by training teachers on the Solar 
System-focused education materials written in support of the mission. 
The Fellowship includes an all-expense paid five-day training 
workshop in Washington, DC, in June 2006.

We would like to request you to please pass on this Announcement of 
Opportunity to appropriate candidates in your organization, as well 
as any other interested parties of which you might be aware. This is 
a national Announcement of Opportunity, and we wish the word to reach 
as wide an audience as possible to help make the candidate pool, and, 
therefore, the next cadre of Fellows, as strong as possible. 
Applications are due March 31, 2006.

hesitate to contact the MESSENGER Educator Fellowship Coordinator 
(Ken Pulkkinen; messenger at usra.edu; 202-689-1238) if you have any 
questions about this Announcement.
