WHY?
|
Provide you with an avenue to publish and disseminate your K-12 engineering curricula and hear from GK-12 graduate students about their experiences in the program
|
The NSF Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) in the Directorate for Engineering (ENG) and the Division of Graduate Education (DGE) in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) have arranged with the University of Colorado at Boulder to host a workshop for us. The TeachEngineering team - responsible for the NSDL's digital library for K-12 engineering curriculum - and led by Jackie Sullivan, will conduct an engineering GK-12 grantees workshop to help you discover a pathway for your team to publish your K-12 engineering curriculum in the TeachEngineering digital library collection and to hear from graduate students about their experiences participating in the GK-12 program.
We view the online TeachEngineering collection (see http://www.TeachEngineering.org ) as a consistent and high-quality avenue for dissemination of the K-12 engineering curricula that have resulted from K-12 engineering grants such as yours. The collection is fully searchable (by keyword, educational standard, grade level, activities vs. lessons, etc.) and is freely available to teachers and educators. Join other institutions - University of South Carolina, Oregon State University, University of Virginia, Duke, Colorado School of Mines, Worcester Polytechnic University, University of Colorado at Boulder - and soon Vanderbilt and Drexel - who have all published their K-12 engineering curricula in TeachEngineering .
We encourage you to send at least one, perhaps two people from your project to this workshop. You will be reimbursed up to $1,200 in travel expenses for attendees from each grant. (Save your receipts!)
At this workshop for engineering GK-12 grantees you will have the opportunity to be part of a working collaboration to get your ideas heard. It's an ideal chance to network with other people who are actively creating and implementing K-12 engineering programs. And, you can contribute your experience and ideas to shape the direction of TeachEngineering's future.
See the attached agenda for details, and please direct your questions to Denise Carlson at Denise.Carlson@Colorado.edu. For planning purposes, please RSVP by November 21 to Myrna.Raitz@Colorado.edu (303.492.7222), indicating how many (and who) will attend from your grant. We look forward to working with you at the workshop.
Sincerely,
