该补助金为试点教师提供资金 东北大学的增强项目。 项目 包括建立科学促进中心， 数学教育（CEOLS）。 该中心将组织 在工业/大学合作的框架内 研究中心（I/UCRC）模型由NSF开发。 行政长官将 与传统IUC的一个主要区别在于，迄今为止 国际自然保护联盟的重点是促进由以下机构开展的研究项目： 从事与以下方面有关的技术领域工作的科学家和工程师： 行业 中心将关注促进项目 由教师和其他有关方面进行，以提高知识- 12教育 通过将IUC方法应用于教育，CEONUC 将系统地传播成果， 的“导师”。 这些领导人迫切需要激发 国家教育制度的广泛积极变化。 拟议的中心的另一个重要方面是将 州资源与联邦和工业合作伙伴的资源。 的 海湾州技能公司（BSSC）和马萨诸塞州 教育电信公司（MCET）将在 积极参与CEOPE。 这种州、联邦和 私营部门的参与在一个领域至关重要， 大学教育。 项目主任建议东北大学 第一年获得10万美元的试点教师 增强项目。 该项目由以下各方共同供资（50 000美元）： 教育和人力资源局，教师增强 程序. 在第一年结束时，项目主任将 根据若干标准审查中心的进展情况， （1）该大学─ 行业互动正在发展;（2） 满足并扩大100 000美元的支助基数;（3） 一个强大的教育项目正在发展。 如果审查是 如果满意，项目主任将建议支持 连续第二年获奖。

This supplement provides funding for a pilot Teacher Enhancement Project at Northeastern University. The project involves establishing the Center for the Enhancement of Science and Mathematics Education (CESAME). This Center will be organized within the framework of the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) model developed by NSF. CESAME will differ in one major way from a conventional IUC in that to date IUCs have focused upon fostering research projects conducted by scientists and engineers working in technological areas relevant to industry. CESAME will be concerned with fostering projects conducted by teachers and other parties concerned with enhancing K- 12 education. By applying the IUC approach to education, CESAME will systematically disseminate results and nurture the development of "teacher-mentors". These leaders are vitally needed to spark widespread positive changes in the country's educational system. Another important facet of the proposed Center is the melding of state resources with those of federal and industrial partners. The Bay State Skills Corporation (BSSC) and the Massachusetts Corporation for Educational Telecommunications (MCET) will be active participants in CESAME. This mixture of state, federal and private sector participation is critical in an area such as pre- college education. The Program Director recommends Northeastern University be awarded $100,000 for the first year of this pilot Teacher Enhancement Project. This project is being co-funded ($50,000) by the Education and Human Resources Directorate, Teacher Enhancement Program. Near the end of the first year the Program Director will review the progress of the Center on a number of criteria, including the following: (1) the extent to which the university- industry interaction is developing; (2) the extent to which the support base of $100,000 is met and expanded; (3) the extent to which a robust educational program is developing. If the review is satisfactory, the Program Director will recommend support of the second year of this continuing award.
