Research Experience for Teachers - Dole Middle School
Dole Middle School practices teaming, by which a large student group is exposed to a planned curriculum by a team of teachers representing all core subjects. In 2008-09, two teams of 8th graders totaling approximately 300 students studied a multidisciplinary wireless curriculum based on AT&T Wireless World and materials developed by RET teachers in collaboration with engineering faculty and students from the University of Hawaii.
Students have an opportunity to demonstrate their combined knowledge and skill in an end of program exercise where they use technology tools to collect, record, transmit, interpret and document water quality data in the field.
