United States Participation in the Global Science Education Initiative

这项申请是为来自美国的科学家和K-16科学教育工作者提供资金，以参加一个以全球科学课程框架为主题的国际会议。所有国家都有兴趣成为或成为具有全球竞争力的国家，越来越多的国家签约参加TIMSS和PISA等数学和科学的国际评估。至关重要的是，美国应参与与所有学生科学教育研究和发展的方方面面相关的讨论。美国与会者将分享由数学与科学伙伴关系(MSP)项目开发的新的科学教育框架，以促进数学和科学的严格成果(PROM/SE)。这项申请是为国际和平协会和来自K-12和高等教育的其他5-6名美国代表提供资金，以参加2009年在巴黎举行的下一次会议。请求提供14 000美元的旅费。

The request is for funds, for scientists and science educators K-16 from the US, to participate in an International Conference on the topic of a Global Science Curriculum Framework. All countries are interested in being or becoming globally competitive and more and more countries are signing on to participate in the international assessments of mathematics and science such as TIMSS and PISA. It is vital that the US participates in discussions related to all aspects of research and development in science education for all students. The US participants will share a new science education framework developed by the Math and Science Partnership (MSP) project, Promoting Rigorous Outcomes in Mathematics and Science (PROM/SE). This request is for funds for the PI and 5-6 other US representatives, from K-12 and higher education, to attend the next conference to be held in Paris 2009. The request is for $14,000 in travel funds.
