Center for the Enhancement of Science and Mathematics Education (CESAME)

该奖项提供为期三年的持续奖励，以支持工业/大学合作研究中心，以提高科学和数学教育（CESAME）。该中心是在I/UCRC模式框架内组织的，是一个由联邦、州、私人基金会和行业合作伙伴组成的多部门伙伴关系。CESAME使马萨诸塞州K-12小学和中学教师能够设计和实施他们自己的创新理念，向儿童教授科学和数学。CESAME关注的是由教师开展的促进K-12教育的项目。通过将IUC的方法应用于教育，CESAME系统地传播结果并培育“教师导师”的发展。这些领导者对于激发美国教育体系广泛的积极变化至关重要。CESAME项目的最低资金由美国国家科学基金会（主要联邦合作伙伴）、海湾州技能公司（BSSC）（主要州合作伙伴）和其他联邦、行业和私人教育基金会赞助商之间的三方匹配组成。这种州、联邦和私营部门的混合参与在大学预科教育等领域至关重要。该方案是与教育和人力资源理事会中小学教育司教师提升方案的乔伊斯·埃文斯博士协调的。美国陆军提供了额外的资金，以加强该中心正在进行的研究并获得该中心的会员资格。项目经理建议东北大学在三年持续奖励的第一年获得10万美元。建议在一年的时间内，由美国陆军纳蒂克研发中心提供额外的1.5万美元资金。在每12个月结束时，项目经理将根据一系列更新标准审查中心的进展情况，包括以下内容：1)大学/行业互动的持续和增长程度；2) 100,000元的支援基数达到和扩大的程度；3)一个健全的教育项目正在发展的程度。如果审查令人满意，项目经理将推荐下一年的支持。这项为期三年的持续奖金总额为30万美元。

9419540 Silevitch This award provides funding for a three year continuing award to support the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for the Enhancement of Science and Mathematics Education (CESAME). This Center, organized within the framework of the I/UCRC model, is a multi-sector partnership of federal, state, private foundation, and industry partners. CESAME enables K-12 elementary and secondary teachers in the State of Massachusetts to design and implement their own innovative ideas of teaching science and mathematics to children. CESAME is concerned with fostering projects conducted by teachers concerned with enhancing K-12 education. By applying the IUC approach to education, CESAME is systematically disseminate results and nurture the development of "teacher-mentors." These leaders are vitally needed to spark widespread positive changes in the U.S. educational system. Minimum funding for the CESAME effort consists of a three-way match between the NSF (the prime federal partner), the Bay State Skills Corporation (BSSC) (the prime state partner) and other federal, industry and private education foundation sponsors. This mixture of state, federal, and private sector participation is critical in an area such as precollege education. This program has been coordinated with Dr. Joyce Evans of the Teacher Enhancement Program, Division for Elementary and Secondary Education, Directorate for Education and Human Resources. The U.S. Department of Army has provided additional funding to augment the Centers ongoing research and to obtain a membership in the Center. The Program Manager recommends Northeastern University be awarded $100,000 for the first year of a three-year continuing award. An additional $15,000 is recommended for one year with funds provided by the U.S. Department of Army Natick RD&E Center. Near the end of each 12-month period, the Program Manager will review the progress of the Center on a number of renewal criteria, includ ing the following: 1) the extent to which the university/industry interaction is being sustained and growing; 2) the extent to which the support base of $100,000 is met and expanded; and 3) the extent to which a robust educational program is developing. If the review is satisfactory, the Program Manager will recommend support for the next year. The total amount of this three year continuing award is $300,000.
