RET-PLUS (Partners Linking Urban Schools)

该奖项为东北大学工程现场教师研究经验（RET）项目提供为期3年的标准资助，该项目名为“RET- plus（连接城市学校的合作伙伴）”，由Michael Silevitch博士和Claire Duggan女士指导。这是先前支持的三年RET站点的更新。东北大学STEM教育中心与伯纳德·m·戈登地下传感和成像系统中心（Gordon- censsis）、美国国家科学基金会工程研究中心（ERC）和工程学院合作，将继续其目前的RET项目，在合作学校建立和支持STEM变革推手。每年有10名来自当地K-12学区和社区大学的参与者将在夏季参加为期六周的综合课程，为期三年。参与者和导师将通过分享研究经验进行协作探究。这将加强教师的内容知识，建立理解和专业尊重，并为RET团队的所有成员提供领导和专业发展的机会。该奖项的资金由工程教育和中心（EEC）分部的工程研究中心（ERC）计划提供。

This award provides funding for a 3 year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at Northeastern University entitled, "RET-PLUS (Partners Linking Urban Schools," under the direction of Dr. Michael Silevitch and Ms. Claire Duggan. This is a renewal of a previously supported three year RET Site. Northeastern University's Center for STEM Education in collaboration with the Bernard M. Gordon Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems (Gordon-CenSSIS) an NSF Engineering Research Center (ERC), and the College of Engineering, will continue its current RET program to build and support STEM change agents throughout partner schools. Ten participants per year for three years from local K-12 school districts and community colleges will participate in a six week comprehensive program during the summer. Participants and mentor faculty will engage in collaborative inquiry through shared research experiences. This will strengthen the content knowledge of teachers, build understanding and professional respect, and provide opportunities for leadership and professional development for all members of the RET team.Funding for this award is being provided by the Engineering Research Centers (ERC) Program in the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC).
