American Association For The Advancement Of Science, Washington DC

Investigators

Abstract

The Directorate for Education and Human Resources Programs (EHR) of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) proposes to organize and facilitate multi-year meetings for principal investigators of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) initiatives. AAAS will work with NSF's Division of Graduate Education, which houses GK-12, to organize a two-day meeting annually for years 2004 to 2006. Participants will include principal investigators and other members of the GK-12 funded programs, including K-12 teachers and graduate teaching fellows. AAAS-EHR will arrange pre-conference activities, develop the agenda in cooperation with NSF staff, host the meeting, oversee all meeting logistics, summarize and analyze findings from discussions and presentations, prepare electronic and print documents, and help disseminate information about the GK-12 program through presentations at the AAAS Annual Meetings.
