SENCER Phase III

在这个为期一年的项目中，国家科学与公民参与中心正在开展一系列协调一致的活动，以实现使SENCER（新公民参与和责任的科学教育）再持续一年的三个目标，并协助其努力成为一个自我维持的企业。第一个目标是确保核心SENCER教师发展计划的好处，并将其扩展到2012年夏季STEM教育改革社区的现有和新成员。支持这一目标的项目要素包括监督39个由SENCER支持的小型实施奖励的完成，继续提供关键核心项目要素（电子通讯、在线期刊、SENCER网站和数字图书馆、领导研究员计划和上门咨询），规划2012年SENCER暑期学院，以及继续为六个区域SENCER创新中心进行行政协调。第二个目标是完成对几个评估和评价计划的分析，以便指导未来的计划计划。这项工作是由评估顾问和SENCER评估小组与其他项目工作人员和同事一起完成的。项目要素包括完成对教师调查的分析（包括准备出版的报告），将调查结果与目前在一些校园使用的修订后的senger - salg评估工具的应用的新发现进行比较，以及对修订后的标准（标准2.0）应用于新senger课程的结果进行评估（以评估个别课程改革要素的深度和程度）。第三个目标是支持规划过程，旨在过渡到独立于NSF对SENCER核心项目运营的支持。

In this one-year project, the National Center for Science and Civic Engagement is undertaking a coordinated set of activities to achieve three goals for sustaining SENCER (Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities) for another year and assist in its effort to become a self-sustaining enterprise. The first goal is to secure and extend benefits of the core SENCER faculty development program to current and newcomer cohorts of the STEM education reform community through the summer of 2012. Project elements supporting this goal are supervision of the completion of 39 SENCER-supported small implementation awards, continued provision of key core project elements (an e-newsletter, an on-line journal, the SENCER web site and digital library, the leadership fellows program, and house call consultations), planning the SENCER Summer Institute 2012, and continued administrative coordination for each of the six regional SENCER Centers for Innovation. The second goal is to complete the analysis of several assessment and evaluation initiatives in order to guide future program initiatives. This is work is being done by an evaluation consultant and the SENCER Assessment Team working with other program staff and associates. Project elements are completion of the analysis of faculty surveys (including report preparation for publication), comparison of the survey findings with new findings from applications of the revised SENCER-SALG evaluation tool now in use on some campuses as well as campus reports from sub-awardees, and evaluation of the results of applications of a revised rubric (Rubric 2.0) to new SENCER courses (to assess depth and degree of reform elements within individual courses). The third goal is to support the planning process designed to transition to independence from NSF support for SENCER core program operations.
