This award renews a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site focused on cyber-enabled technologies. Each summer, thirteen high school Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) teachers from Miami-Dade County Public Schools will participate in summer research activities with faculty at Florida International University. The research projects center on emerging cyber-enabled technologies such as cloud computing, social networks, and cyber security and privacy, all topics of current interest and importance. The participating teachers will translate their research experiences and knowledge into classroom practice by developing instructional modules and course materials that they will introduce in their classrooms and share with other teachers in their school districts. These activities all contribute to the formation of a community of practice in partnership between the teachers and the faculty mentors that has the potential to significantly enhance STEM education in the participating school districts. The RET Site revolves around a core multidisciplinary research team exploring theoretical design, networking, application, and software issues for next-generation cyber-enabled technologies. It augments core research themes missing from current solutions including optimization methods and software for robust, secure, context aware, reconfigurable, and adaptable cyber-enabled technologies. This integrated approach should help the teachers understand the context and scope of their research activities and interact with others as a cohort. The primary goals of the proposed RET site are to (1) build long-term collaborations between Kindergarten-through-12th grade (K-12) STEM teachers and the research community; (2) increase K-12 teachers' knowledge of cyber-enabled technologies; (3) build K-12 teachers' technology competency through research and professional development programs; and (4) assist teachers in developing class curriculum based on their experience. This project will help develop a core group of teachers who can bring cyber-enabled technologies into their classrooms and excite high school students about applications of cyber-enabled technologies and the many possible related career paths of the future.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项更新了专注于支持网络技术的教师（RET）网站的研究经验。每年夏天，迈阿密戴德县公立学校的13个高中科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教师将与佛罗里达国际大学的教职员工一起参加夏季研究活动。 研究项目中心关于云计算，社交网络以及网络安全和隐私等新兴网络技术的中心，这都是当前关注和重要性的主题。 参与的教师将通过开发教学模块和课程材料来将他们的研究经验和知识转化为课堂实践，并在课堂上介绍这些模块和课程材料，并与学区的其他老师分享。这些活动都为教师与教师导师之间的合作伙伴关系而形成了实践社区，这有可能显着增强参与学区的STEM教育。 RET站点围绕着一个核心的多学科研究团队，该团队探索了下一代网络支持技术的理论设计，网络，应用和软件问题。它增强了当前解决方案中缺少的核心研究主题，包括优化方法和软件，可用于健壮，安全，上下文意识到，可重新配置和适应性的网络技术。 这种综合的方法应该帮助教师了解他们的研究活动的背景和范围，并与他人互动。拟议的RET网站的主要目标是（1）建立幼儿园至12年级（K-12）STEM教师与研究社区之间的长期合作； （2）增加K-12教师对支持网络技术的知识； （3）通过研究和专业发展计划建立K-12教师的技术能力； （4）协助教师根据他们的经验来开发课堂课程。 该项目将有助于开发一群核心的教师，这些教师可以将支持网络的技术带入他们的课堂上，并激发高中生的应用程序的应用以及未来的许多可能相关的职业道路。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
