This award provides support to establish a COSEE Center in California with three distributed complementary partners: the Lawrence Hall of Science on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley (informal science partner), Scripps Institution-University of California San Diego (research partner) and Monterey Peninsula College (a public community college and formal education partner) in Monterey. The activities of the proposed COSEE will be organized around four primary initiatives: 1) an outreach effort based at Scripps to engage ocean scientists in K-14 education and the interpretation of their research, 2) the development of an undergraduate course Communicating Ocean Science designed to increase the involvement of undergraduates, graduate students and scientists in educational outreach, 3) the development of an Ocean Careers web site and 4) developing and testing an Ocean Immersion Site for K-12 education based at Scripps to serve the large and culturally diverse population of the San Diego area. The work of this COSEE will enhance the integration of research and education in California by linking some of the best ocean science researchers in the world to science education in both formal and informal settings. The California COSEE's focus on working with schools and school districts in the diverse San Diego area will provide additional resources to strengthen science education and increase access to knowledge and careers among underrepresented populations. Several of the initiatives in this proposal will add diversity and balance to the mosaic of approaches and activities to be implemented by the COSEE network. In particular, the extension model is a unique 'user-centered' approach to getting more scientists involved that clearly needs to be developed and its effectiveness assessed. The undergraduate course in communicating science has potential as a professional development vehicle for college faculty, graduate students and undergraduate majors; this component is being co-funded by NSF's Division of Undergraduate Education. The DUE's Advanced Technology Education program is also providing co-funding for the Careers website at Monterey Peninsula College.

该奖项支持在加利福尼亚州建立一个 COSEE 中心，并与三个分布式互补合作伙伴合作：加州大学伯克利分校的劳伦斯科学馆（非正式科学合作伙伴）、加州大学圣地亚哥分校斯克里普斯研究所（研究合作伙伴）和位于蒙特雷的蒙特利半岛学院（公立社区学院和正规教育合作伙伴）。 拟议的 COSEE 活动将围绕四项主要举措进行组织：1）在斯克里普斯开展外展工作，让海洋科学家参与 K-14 教育并解释他们的研究；2）开发本科课程《传播海洋科学》，旨在增加本科生、研究生和科学家对教育外展的参与；3）开发海洋职业网站；4）开发和测试 K-12 海洋沉浸站点 教育基地位于斯克里普斯，为圣地亚哥地区众多、文化多元化的人口提供服务。 该 COSEE 的工作将通过将世界上一些最优秀的海洋科学研究人员与正式和非正式环境中的科学教育联系起来，加强加州研究和教育的一体化。 加州 COSEE 的重点是与圣地亚哥多元化地区的学校和学区合作，这将为加强科学教育并增加代表性不足的人群获得知识和职业的机会提供额外的资源。该提案中的几项举措将为 COSEE 网络实施的各种方法和活动增加多样性和平衡性。 特别是，扩展模型是一种独特的“以用户为中心”的方法，可以让更多的科学家参与进来，显然需要开发它并评估其有效性。 传播科学本科课程有潜力成为大学教师、研究生和本科专业的专业发展工具；该部分由 NSF 本科教育部共同资助。 DUE 的先进技术教育计划还为蒙特利半岛学院的职业网站提供共同资助。
