With the help of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory we have recruited and trained 8 master teachers from around the United States to be WISE Educator Ambassadors. These teachers have collaborated with a scientist from the Spitzer Science Center, Varoujan Gorjian, to conduct original research using data from the Spitzer Space Telescope. These teachers have involved their students in the research projects and have presented results at meetings of the American Astronomical Society. These ambassadors conduct professional development workshops for their colleagues about the WISE mission and how to use real data in authentic classroom research projects. Here are some of the papers presented by the WISE EAs: Spitzer 3.6 and 5.8 micron Monitoring of the Seyfert 1 NGC 4051 by Gorjian, Varoujan; Adkins, J.; Borders, K.; Kelly, S.; Martin, C.; Mendez, B.; Paradis, J.; Perreira, V.; Pittman, P.; Sepulveda, B.; NGC 4051 Monitoring Group.
