Sidney Stephens, Principal Investigator Sidney is both the UAF PI for MapTEACH and program manager for the new, NOAA-funded, Coastal Science Technician Program at IAC. She was a classroom teacher before joining UAF in 1985 as the director of the Alaska Sea Week Program and the Alaska Science Consortium. She now splits her time between the UAF Department of Resources Management and the Interior Aleutians Campus, with a focus on connecting the often-disparate perspectives and domains of school and community and of science and local knowledge. Sidney has secured and directed professional development grant projects, written curriculum and articles, taught numerous science pre-service and in-service methods courses, and worked with the Alaska Rural Systemic I nitiative science focus.
