| Description: | The Colorado School of Mines provides opportunities for teachers and students to be immersed in mathematics, science, and technology at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. Through a $2.5 million grant from the Bechtel Foundation, CSM faculty and graduate students will be directly assisting K-5 teachers as they implement scientifically and mathematically rich, hands-on instruction. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is supporting our efforts at the middle school level as part of the GK-12 Learning Partnerships grant (DGE-0638719; $1.7 million). The current NSF grant, Broadening Participation in Middle School through Undergraduate Study (CNS-0739233), completes the pipeline by providing support for interventions at the high school and college levels. Outreach partners include Colorado�s Adams County District 50 and Aurora Public Schools. |
