The grant supports a planning conference with selected faculty and administrators from eight to ten small colleges and universities with staff from Stevens Institute of Technology. The conference would focus on more effective use of the Internet in pre-service training of K-12 science teachers. The Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) seeks to strengthen the abilities of K-12 teachers to incorporate technological solutions in their math and science classrooms. This initiative would enhance the capacity of collegiate teacher education programs in independent colleges and universities to shape the education of prospective math and science teachers. The CIC and Stevens Institute of Technology will draw on their respective strengths in educating prospective and current teachers in developing this program. The CIC's member colleges and universities train a significant number of career scientists and science teachers in the United States. Stevens Institute of Technology turned to community colleges as its partners in organizing their own training sessions for in-service K-12 teachers and its pre-science activities. They found faculty members at small, four-year colleges were especially effective in their teacher-training activities. Based on this successful relationship, Stevens and the CIC want to create a national program beginning with approximately ten small colleges and universities with strong records in the preparation of K-12 science teachers.

该补助金支持规划会议与选定的教师和管理人员从八到十个小学院和大学的工作人员从史蒂文斯理工学院。 会议将重点讨论如何更有效地利用互联网对K-12科学教师进行职前培训。独立学院理事会（CIC）旨在加强K-12教师将技术解决方案纳入数学和科学课堂的能力。 这一举措将提高独立学院和大学的学院教师教育计划的能力，以塑造未来的数学和科学教师的教育。 CIC和史蒂文斯理工学院将利用各自的优势，教育未来和现任教师开发这一计划。 CIC的成员学院和大学在美国培养了大量的职业科学家和科学教师。 史蒂文斯理工学院转向社区学院作为其合作伙伴，在组织自己的在职K-12教师培训课程和科学前的活动。 他们发现，小型四年制大学的教师在教师培训活动中特别有效。 基于这种成功的关系，史蒂文斯和CIC希望创建一个全国性的计划，从大约10所在培养K-12科学教师方面有着良好记录的小型学院和大学开始。
