STEP I Teachers apply by sending:
- A letter stating their interest in the program
- The names and addresses of four Latino/a students who
should be considered for participation
- A $20 application fee, which will be fully returned if
the teacher attends the course or if he or she is not selected.
The fee will not be returned if a teacher is selected but
then cancels his or her participation and cannot be replaced
before the course.
Mail application to:
Dr. Franco Biondi
Learning in the Woods Program
Department of Geography, MS 154
University of Nevada
Reno, NV 89557-0048
STEP II Program Organizers, Teachers and Students:
The UNR program organizers will randomly select two of the
four Latino/a students, contact them directly, and invite
them to participate. The students' parents will be provided
with bilingual enrollment information. If an invited student
cannot attend the course, the invitation is extended to another
student whose name was provided by the teacher. If none of
the four students can accept the invitation, the teacher will
be asked to provide additional names. All students' expenses
will be covered.
An additional $100 reimbursement will be sent to each
student after he/she attends the course.
GRADUATE COURSE CREDIT/GRADES:
Teachers who desire graduate credit (by enrolling in GEOG
691, 1 credit) but have not established status with the University's
Graduate School, will need to complete a Graduate Special
Application form. This will be done at UNR during the first
day of the program. The one-time application fee and course
credit cost to register for this course are covered by the
National Science Foundation grant.
Both STEP I and STEP II need to be completed by May 1st.
Late applications can be accepted if the course is not already
full.
