Synergy Communities: Aggregating Learning about Education [SCALE]

该项目的目标是促进和研究设计师，研究人员和从业人员在同一个项目中，但与不同的学校，地理区域和合作伙伴一起工作的过程。 这些研究人员之间的合作可能会产生灵活的课程，其他教师可以定制使用。 一个目标是让普通教师有能力在课堂上使用这些单元;另一个目标是了解一般教育研究项目中知识和实践的抽象和积累过程。 然后，该项目将支持开发一个SCALE门户网站和两次开发人员高峰会议，并与教师合作使用这些材料。 该项目每年将支持2-3个小型项目。

The goal of this project is to foster and study the process by which designers, researchers, and practitioners work together, in the same project, but with different schools, geographic areas, and partnerships. These collaborations among researchers will be likely to produce flexible curriculum that other teachers can then customize for use. One goal is to allow the average teacher the ability to make these units work in her classroom; another is to understand the process of abstraction and accumulation of knowledge and practice across education research projects in general. The project would then support the development of a SCALE web portal and two summit meetings of developers, plus work with teachers in using the materials. Each year, the project will support 2-3 small projects.
