This award provides funding to The New England Aquarium (NEAq), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), and the University of Massachusetts (UMass) for development of a New England Regional Center for Ocean Science Education Excellence (NER-COSEE). This center will focus on capacity building in the New England region by: 1) providing educators (teachers and other formal and informal educators) with multiple tools to create programs and curricula that convey knowledge of the oceans, and 2) providing research scientists and scholars the means and training to be more effectively involved in K-12 education and undergraduate formal and informal education. All three partners are highly visible centers of public education, outreach and ocean science research and work with a wide network of educators from public, private and informal education centers. In addition, U.Mass has an extensive track record in educating under-served students and has a strong teacher-training program. Activities will include working with informal educators throughout the region via workshops and by providing a pool of resources for prototyping and evaluation; working with researchers to help them learn to communicate effectively with teachers, informal educators, students, and journalists, and providing them with a network by which they may collaborate with educators and the media; working with K-12 educators to develop innovative curriculum modules that teach national and state science standards using ocean science, and to assist in the development of networks and programs that recruit and train more qualified K-12 science teachers. The NER-COSEE will initially work with the Global Learning Center School/New Bedford Public School and Harbor School in Boston to pilot test and evaluate programs. They will also create a Resource Center, housed in the NEAq's Education Center that will make resources available for broad distribution.

该奖项为新英格兰水族馆(NEAQ)、伍兹霍尔海洋研究所(WHOI)和马萨诸塞大学(UMassus)提供资金，用于发展新英格兰地区海洋科学教育卓越中心(NER-COSEE)。该中心将通过以下方式侧重于新英格兰地区的能力建设：1)为教育工作者(教师和其他正规和非正规教育工作者)提供多种工具，以创建传播海洋知识的方案和课程；2)为研究科学家和学者提供手段和培训，以便更有效地参与K-12教育和本科正规和非正规教育。这三个合作伙伴都是引人注目的公共教育、推广和海洋科学研究中心，并与来自公共、私人和非正式教育中心的广泛教育工作者网络合作。此外，马萨诸塞州大学在教育贫困学生方面有着广泛的记录，并有强大的教师培训计划。活动将包括通过讲习班和提供原型和评估资源，与整个地区的非正式教育工作者合作；与研究人员合作，帮助他们学习如何有效地与教师、非正式教育工作者、学生和记者进行交流，并向他们提供一个网络，通过这个网络，他们可以与教育工作者和媒体合作；与K-12教育工作者合作，开发创新的课程模块，利用海洋科学教授国家和州的科学标准，并协助开发网络和方案，以招聘和培训更多合格的K-12科学教师。NER-COSEE最初将与波士顿的全球学习中心学校/新贝德福德公立学校和海港学校合作，对项目进行试点测试和评估。他们还将在NEAQ的教育中心创建一个资源中心，使资源可供广泛分发。
