In aiming to help learners of all ages rediscover their place in the Universe, the International Year of Astronomy (IYA) provides a natural opportunity for astronomers and educators to work together to bring current science into the classroom. A high-impact opportunity is to become involved in teacher preparation-- helping to prepare future teachers in science. The authors from the NASA Science Mission Directorate's Pre-Service Education Working Group (http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/score/pre_service.shtml ) will share an emerging Menu of Opportunities, created to help scientists identify ways in which they can become involved in teacher preparation.
Opportunities range from providing data and sharing content, to becoming a mentor and creating research experiences for future teachers. Each opportunity includes strategies and examples of ways in which others are involved, in order to help scientists take the first steps during IYA or build on existing programs. The PSEWG Menu of Opportunities for scientists is available on-line at http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/pre_service_edu/ .
