The National Educators Workshop (NEW) 2011-2014

国家教育研讨会(NEW)是一个专门的专业发展论坛，召集两年和四年制教师、K-12教师和行业进一步发展材料科学和STEM教育。为期三天的活动在组织、实施和展示方面反映了K-20一体化模式。每个研讨会都有专家小组讨论和尖端制造的设施参观，以及以实践教学和学习为特色的全体讲座和分组会议。位于埃德蒙兹社区学院的国家材料技术教育资源中心(MATED)在全国三个不同的战略选择的主办地点管理和实施扩大的年度新活动，促进与K-20教育工作者、经济发展组织和对美国竞争力至关重要的关键制造业的伙伴关系。与Mate联合打造新品牌在战略上提高了两个实体的可持续性潜力，从而为其全国受众提供了更好的服务。这些工作坊为K-20 STEM教师提供了宝贵的机会，拓宽了他们的视野和知识，扩大了他们的专业发展场所。Mated为材料教育界提供了最新的、有价值的教学和研究辅助材料，可以立即在课堂上使用。在学生的职业意识、教师的技术技能提升和分享成功的教育学实践方面，NEW具有显著的好处和影响。评价衡量讲习班为实现既定目标而取得的成效。

The National Education Workshop (NEW) is a special professional development forum that convenes two- and four-year instructors, K-12 teachers, and industry to further Material Science and STEM education. The three-day event reflects a K-20 integration model in the way it is organized, implemented and presented. Each Workshop features an expert panel discussion and a facility tour of cutting edge manufacturing in action along with plenary talks and breakout sessions that feature hands-on teaching and learning. The National Resource Center for Materials Technology Education (MatEd) housed at Edmonds Community College administers and implements expanded annual NEW events at three different strategically chosen host sites across the country that promote partnerships with K-20 educators, economic development organizations and key manufacturing industries that are critical to America's competitiveness. Co-branding NEW with MatEd strategically advances the potential for sustainability for both entities resulting in better service to their national audience. The workshops provide valuable opportunities for K-20 STEM teachers to broaden their perspectives and knowledge and expand their professional development venues. MatEd supplies the materials education community with current, valuable aids for teaching and research, which can be used immediately in the classroom. NEW has significant benefits and impact in terms of career awareness for students, technical upskilling for faculty, and the sharing of successful practices in pedagogy. The evaluation measures the effectiveness of the workshops to meet the goals set.
