The NASA Center for Astronomy Education (CAE) Regional Teaching Exchange Program: What it can do for you!

The NASA Center for Astronomy Education (CAE) has played an important role in facilitating and performing astronomy education research (AER). They have been particularly effective at making the results of AER, particularly methods of interactive engagement, available and accessible to the general teaching community. The Regional Teaching Exchange is another tool that the CAE has developed to that end. I will discuss the role envisioned for the exchanges, and discuss my own vision for the Texas Regional Teaching Exchange which will have its inaugural event at this meeting.
