This grant will provide Washington MESA teachers with a forum through which they can acquire new information on factors that impact math and science learning as well as time to work with colleagues on strategies to incorporate the new material into their classroom. Fifty-five Washington MESA teachers will be able to attend a series of six one-day seminars. Of these two will be statewide seminars back-to-back with national or state conferences and will be focused on math and science education or on multicultural issues that impact learning. The other four seminars will be local, focused on curriculum development, instructional practices, and career explorations. The areas of focus for the seminar series will include the incorporation of "hands-on" activities; problems set in a real-world context; and strengthening the perceptions that underrepresented minority students warrant high expectations; and sharing of materials, activities, and projects that work well at various levels. Seminar participants will come from 8 districts which serve 71% of the under-represented minority students across Washington state. An amount equivalent to 115.8% of the NSF award is being contributed as cost-sharing.

这笔赠款将为华盛顿梅萨教师提供一个论坛，通过这个论坛，他们可以获得影响数学和科学学习的因素的新信息，并有时间与同事合作，制定策略，将新材料纳入他们的课堂。55名华盛顿台地教师将能够参加为期一天的六个系列研讨会。其中两个将是全州范围内的研讨会，与国家或州会议背靠背，并将专注于数学和科学教育或影响学习的多元文化问题。其他四个研讨会将在当地举行，重点是课程开发、教学实践和职业探索。研讨会系列的重点领域将包括纳入“动手”活动；在现实世界背景下提出的问题；强化这样一种看法，即代表人数不足的少数族裔学生理应得到很高的期望；以及分享在不同层面运作良好的材料、活动和项目。研讨会参与者将来自8个学区，这些学区服务于华盛顿州71%未被充分代表的少数族裔学生。一笔相当于国家科学基金会奖励的115.8%的款项将作为费用分摊提供。
