9419540 Silevitch该奖项为一项为期三年的持续奖励提供资金，以支持加强科学和数学教育的产业/大学合作研究中心(CESAME)。该中心在I/UCRC模式的框架内组织，是由联邦、州、私人基金会和行业合作伙伴组成的多部门伙伴关系。CESAME使马萨诸塞州的K-12中小学教师能够设计和实施他们自己的创新想法，向儿童教授科学和数学。CESAME关注促进教师开展的项目，这些教师致力于加强K-12教育。通过将IUC方法应用于教育，CESAME正在系统地传播成果并培养“教师导师”的发展。要在美国教育系统中引发广泛的积极变化，这些领导人是至关重要的。CESAME工作的最低资金包括NSF(主要联邦合作伙伴)、海湾州立大学技能公司(BSSC)(主要州合作伙伴)和其他联邦、行业和私立教育基金会赞助商之间的三方匹配。州、联邦和私营部门的这种混合参与在大学预科教育等领域至关重要。该计划与教育和人力资源局中小学教育司教师提升计划的Joyce Evans博士进行了协调。美国陆军部门提供了额外的资金，以加强该中心正在进行的研究，并获得该中心的成员资格。项目经理建议东北大学在为期三年的持续奖励的第一年获得10万美元的奖励。建议再提供15,000美元，为期一年，资金由美国陆军部纳蒂克研发中心提供。每12个月接近结束时，项目经理将审查中心在一系列续订标准方面的进展，包括以下内容：1)大学/行业互动持续和发展的程度；2)100,000美元的支持基础得到满足和扩大的程度；以及3)健全的教育计划正在发展的程度。如果评审结果令人满意，项目经理将推荐下一年的支持。这项为期三年的持续奖励总金额为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.
