This $634,504 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a four-year initiative focused on developing middle and high school science teachers' ability to integrate critical systems thinking into their curriculum and teaching practices regarding socio-environmental issues. The key products and services of this multi-site professional development program are to: 1) Examine how three cohorts of science teachers across the San...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $398,236 to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to create a sustainable, adaptable framework for fostering critical thinking and inspiring diverse learners in STEM fields. The project aims to promote sustained interest and critical statistical thinking across undergraduate STEM education by implementing a novel two-course cross-level structure that pairs advanced...
This federal Project Grant award for $1,293,270, funded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to develop new technological and pedagogical frameworks for integrating data modeling and agent-based modeling into middle school environmental science curricula. The project, led by the University of California, Berkeley, will design three technology-rich units that allow students to explore environmental issues using data analysis and computational modeling...
This Project Grant award of $736,651 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program aims to prepare 30 high-quality secondary STEM teachers to serve in high-need schools in Massachusetts over a five-year period. The key products and services to be delivered include: Recruiting and providing two-year scholarships for four cohorts of 7-8 undergraduate STEM majors in biology, mathematics, chemistry, or general science, to prepare them for STEM teaching careers in high-need schools....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides a total of $617,025 to the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance (MMSA) to develop and implement a three-year project focused on building teacher capacity for transdisciplinary science instruction using smart greenhouses. The project will engage 60 teachers and 580 students across urban and rural contexts to design and build smart greenhouses that integrate engineering, computer science, and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $993,988 to Northeastern University to conduct research on how students' intuitive beliefs about human-nature relationships impact their learning of environmental science concepts. The project aims to: Explore the relationship between "human exceptionalism" (the belief that humans are separate from nature) and how undergraduate environmental science students and non-majors reason...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $599,919 to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) will support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) site focused on integrating STEM education around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The RET site will provide six-week summer research experiences for four pre-service and four in-service high school STEM teachers from high-needs school districts. Participants will work with WPI...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) grant award of $849,931 provides funding to the University of Virginia to support middle school teachers in customizing and enacting an integrated science, engineering, and computational modeling curriculum unit. The project aims to develop a better understanding of the supports teachers need to adapt science curricular materials to different classroom, school, and community contexts. Through a participatory design...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $653,723 project grant under its Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program to the University of Illinois. The 4-year project will develop and test a professional development model that empowers high school science teachers to adapt curriculum materials to integrate students' knowledge and community resources. Working with education researchers, teachers, scientists, and community organizations, the project teams will go through cycles of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $628,283 project grant under the Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The goal of this 4-year project is to develop and test an online platform called "ACTLOCAL" that will enable K-12 teachers, students, and the public to create localized climate change adaptation simulations for any location in the contiguous United States. These simulations will allow students to implement and...
