This proposal is to build the institutional capactiy and partnerships needed to develop a full center for teaching and learning at West Virginia University. A full center as it is envisioned will focus on issues of importance for teaching science and mathematics in rural settings. These issues include aspects of geography, the importance of indigenous knowledge, infrastructure needs and limited financial resources. The center will also focus on ways to integrate and coordinate the various sciences, mathematics and technology content areas at the middle and high school levels, both within and across subject areas. During this developmental project a study group will be formed to assess the needs at each of eight regional math and science consortia (RMSCs) and another set of study groups will be formed to study issues of concern to the project. These include research on learning and teaching in rural settings, characterizing indigenous knowledge, ways to provide learning support to students with special needs, legislative and industrial support, barriers to implementation, professional development programs and interdisciplinary math and science content.

该提案旨在建立西弗吉尼亚大学开发完整教学中心所需的机构能力和合作伙伴关系。 预计，一个完整的中心将重点关注农村环境中科学和数学教学的重要问题。 这些问题包括地理、本土知识的重要性、基础设施需求和有限的财政资源等方面。 该中心还将重点研究如何整合和协调初中和高中各个学科领域内和跨学科领域的科学、数学和技术内容领域。 在该开发项目期间，将成立一个研究小组来评估八个地区数学和科学联盟 (RMSC) 的需求，并将成立另一组研究小组来研究该项目所关注的问题。 这些包括对农村环境中的学习和教学的研究、土著知识的特征、为有特殊需要的学生提供学习支持的方法、立法和行业支持、实施障碍、专业发展计划以及跨学科数学和科学内容。
