Teacher Researcher Knowledge Exchange
Educational Resources

To establish a lasting framework where Wyoming's educators, researchers, and community members collaboratively develop educational resources that integrate real-world scientific research into classrooms, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of science among students.

Initiated under the Wyoming Anticipating Climate Transitions (WY-ACT) project, TRKE offers a cross-disciplinary professional learning program that bridges the gap between pedagogical approaches and scientific research. By participating in TRKE, educators gain hands-on experience with current scientific methods and insights, which they can translate into compelling educational experiences for their students. Likewise, participating researchers gain insight into the current educational landscape, which they can use to inform their research, science communication, and community engagement efforts.

TRKE is committed to:

Building strong partnerships between K-12 educators, university scientists, and Wyoming community partners.
Co-designing educational resources that bring real-world, relevant science and dialogue into communities and classrooms.
Preparing educators, researchers, and community members to effectively teach and inspire the next generation of scientists.
