The 2011 Learning Network Conference

数学和科学合作伙伴关系（MSP）计划的年度学习网络会议（LNC）汇集了STEM教师，教育教师，K-12教师和管理人员，以及来自当前MSP项目的评估人员和研究人员的团队，以积极参与，社区建设和分享与MSP项目相关的奖学金。该项目正在与MSP项目工作人员和由MSP项目领导人组成的规划委员会合作，计划和组织2011年1月的会议。该项目正在推进会议的知识内容，将会议上提交的论文组成一个连贯的子集，成为STEM教育期刊的特刊。该项目有两个主要成果。首先，它正在设计和组织LNC活动，以促进国家一级MSP项目之间和之外的更大合作和共享。第二，它指导制定会议主题和内容的过程，以及抽象的审查过程，以产生类似于研究会议的知识环境。项目评估是评估与会者的态度和经验之间的联系，与会议的目标和五个主要特点的MSP计划，并分析会议摘要的对齐与MSP的主要特点和会议股。项目评估还分析了与参与规划和实施过程的个人的访谈，以评估项目的质量和价值。

The Math and Science Partnership (MSP) program's annual Learning Network Conference (LNC) brings together teams of STEM faculty, education faculty, K-12 teachers and administrators, and evaluators and researchers from current MSP projects for active participation, community building, and sharing of scholarship related to MSP projects. This project is collaborating both with MSP program staff and with a planning committee comprised of leaders of MSP projects across the program's portfolio, to plan and organize the January, 2011, conference. The project is advancing the intellectual content of the conference by forming a coherent subset of papers presented at the conference into a special issue of a STEM education journal. The project has two primary outcomes. First, it is designing and structuring LNC activities to foster greater collaboration and sharing among and beyond MSP projects at a national level. Second, it is guiding the process of developing the conference theme and strands, and the abstract review process, to engender an intellectual environment similar to a research conference. The project evaluation is assessing links between conference participants' attitudes and experiences in relation to the goals of the conference and to the five key features of the MSP program, and is analyzing the alignment of the conference abstracts with the MSP key features and the conference strands. The project evaluation is also analyzing interviews with individuals involved in the planning and implementation process to assess the quality and value of the project.
