The University of New Hampshire has been selected as a national partner in the 100Kin10 Network, 一项培训并留住100人的计划,000 excellent science, technology, 工程和数学(STEM)教师.
UNH is one of 200 public- and private-sector organizations to have been selected as a partner in the network. It was recognized for its strong leadership in STEM education and its commitment to expand and improve the nation’s STEM teaching force through its STEM教师合作.
“我们很高兴被选为100Kin10的合作伙伴,” says Ruth Varner, UNH琼和詹姆斯·莱策尔数学中心主任, 科学与工程教育. “We look forward to establishing the STEM教师合作 and working with teachers throughout our state.”
全州STEM教师合作组织, or STEM-TC, is designed to help strengthen STEM education in the Granite State by bringing new educational and professional development offerings to K-12 teachers to help build their STEM education skills.
Through STEM-TC, UNH will offer new graduate degrees and certificate programs — including online offerings — in STEM disciplines. The effort will also provide more professional development opportunities for STEM educators.
“We’re excited to be an active partner in the professional lives of teachers,” says Leslie Couse, 联合国大学教育学系副教授兼系主任. “The online degree, STEM certificates and professional development opportunities will help us expand the number of excellent STEM teachers and retain those excellent teachers.”
Also through STEM-TC, UNH will develop an online information clearinghouse and will host an annual statewide forum for STEM teachers. The inaugural forum, Science Research in the Classroom,” will be held on May 30, 2015, in Durham.
Senior vice provost for engagement and academic outreach Julie Williams notes that STEM-TC is the result of a university-wide collaboration including partners from The Joan and James Leitzel Center for Mathematics, 科学与工程教育; the Department of Education; UNH Cooperative Extension; the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences; the STEM Discovery Lab at UNH Manchester, 和互操作性实验室.
“All of these partners are committed to engagement with and outreach to STEM teachers across the state,” says Williams. “We look forward to, together, continuing to help support New Hampshire's STEM teachers.”
