 Dr. Craig is the Director of the Science Education Gateway Program (SEGway), funded by NASA. SEGway is a national collaboration of science museums, school districts, and NASA space science missions to bring current science research results into the classroom via the Internet. She works with teachers to design and implement overarching themes for K-12 science education and is instrumental to the expansion of the E/PO programs at the national level. Dr. Craig's expertise includes development and dissemination of Education and Outreach programs, resources and methods to scientists and educators through their professional societies (NSTA, AGU, AAS). She has participated in workshops of AAAS Benchmarks and National Standards and has been involved in the design, articulation, and management of K-12 initiatives through the Non-Profit Education Program. Dr. Craig is also the lead education and public outreach scientist and the E/PO manager of the RHESSI, CHIPS, FAST, STEREO/IMPACT, THEMIS and WISE space science missions. She also serves as liaison between the mission PIs and NASA program officers at the Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA Headquarters. A research astronomer with 10 years' involvement (1989-1999) in the EUVE Mission and the Experimental Astrophysics Groups, Dr. Craig has provided science support for both projects, obtaining ground-based observations of interstellar Na I, Ca II and Ti II. She has published more than a dozen refereed papers on topics in optical and EUVE astrophysics, including identification of EUVE sources and studies of late-type stars, cataclysmic variables, white dwarfs and local interstellar medium. |
