GLOBE U.S. In-Service/Pre-Service Teachers: Natural Inquirer Opportunity Offers Stipends for Blog/Social Media Posts
Educators and Pre-service Teachers: Earn a $100 stipend for contributing to the GLOBE and Natural Inquirer Crosswalk Project. The GLOBE U.S. Coordination Office is working in partnership with the USDA Forest Service to show connections between Natural Inquirer readers for students and GLOBE protocols, learning activities, and story books. Connections can be shown through a blog post or other format that you would use in your classroom or educational setting.
Natural Inquirer Readers
Each Natural Inquirer issue has a Wakelet collection page that includes a description of the issue, links to the issue, and possible GLOBE connections. Your assignment is to create a product that clearly demonstrates how these materials can be used with students in a classroom activity.

For a blog post:
- Introduce yourself! Tell us a little about your background and describe why you chose this particular topic.
