'''Hi!'''

I am a former High School Physical Science and Astronomy Teacher. I used to teach at Bassick High School in Bridgeport, CT. I currently work at the New Jersey Astronomy Center (NJACE) where I teach teacher professional development workshops in Astronomy, among many other things. My partner in crime at NJACE is Wil van der Veen.

Below is one of my favorite photos of the moon.
A former student of mine took this photo during a lunar eclipse.
She put her digital camera up to the eyepiece of an 10" dobsonian!
(While I was busy trying to set up a different camera on our fancy 8" Celestron Nexstar GPS! lol. )

There are more Astronomy pictures (and other stuff) in my online albums ( http://community.webshots.com/user/troelofsen )

<big>'''Wiki for the Spitzer Teachers Research Project'''</big>

= What is the Spitzer Teachers Research Project?=
The [http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/ Spitzer Science Center (SSC)] and the [http://www.noao.edu/ National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO)] have designed a program for teacher and student research using observing time on the Spitzer Space Telescope. This program has its goals the fundamental NASA goals of inspiring and motivating students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as well as to engage the public in shaping and sharing the experience of exploration and discovery. Our educational plan addresses the NASA objectives of improving student proficiency in science and improving science instruction by providing a unique opportunity to a group of teachers and students to observe with Spitzer and work with Spitzer archival data. This program allows a team of teachers and their students (with the help of a mentor astronomer) to use Director's discretionary observing time on the Spitzer Space Telescope for educational observations. [http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/cosmic_classroom/teacher_research/index.shtml Read more about us on the Cool Cosmos website.]

= What (and Who) is this Wiki for? =

This wiki is a place for the participants ([[teachers]] and scientists and maybe students too) to share (and continue to develop!) materials based on their experiences with this program.

'''Anyone can view these pages, but if you'd like to edit them, please email Luisa to get an account set up.'''

= [[Posters and Handouts from AAS meetings]] =
[[Posters and Handouts from AAS meetings | This link]] contains posters we have presented at AAS meetings, and handouts we have provided with the posters.
'''Other groups should upload and add in their posters!'''

=Information for students =
These pages contain a guide for students written by teachers. The original version of this was created by Theresa Moody.

*[[Spitzer Student Handbook]] : a general overview, suitable for all projects
*[[Student Information: IC2118]] : information specific to the IC 2118 project (studying star formation with IRAC and MIPS)
*[[Student Information: M81]] : information specific to the M81 project (studying tidal tails with IRAC and MIPS)

=[[Information for teachers]]=
[[Information for teachers| This link]] contains lots of information for teachers (or advanced students) written by scientists. There is stuff here on a wide range of things, from downloading Spitzer data to information specific to each project.
