  4. REU AY: Leveraged Partnerships ActionWebs & TRUST grad students participate with Tech Talks TRUST/ActionWebs Advisory Team Academic Year: 2010-11 ActionWebs and TRUST mentors participate in ARG meetings on campus and with remote partners. Ecosystem in an Affinity Research Group (ARG) Model RHS Fall and Spring conferences-- new and continuing computational thinking projects at RFS Center Education, K. Gates, S. Meldal

  5. Outreach: Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Research Experience for SF Bay Area Master Teachers • Program Overview: • 10 week research experience • Research guided by faculty mentors and graduate students • Classroom and Lab Activities • Professional Development Activities • Partnering with SUPERB-CPS • Development of course materials, electronic portfolios, and research activities • Stipend with Travel Allowance • Room and board provided at International House • Cohort: 3 to 4 master teachers per year • Program Evaluation and Assessment • Evaluation Rubrics • Follow-up surveys • Poster Sessions • Tracking course development and adoption • Timeline: Years 2-5 Education, K.

Gates

  7. Evaluation, Outcomes and Tracking Summary of Program Outcomes Model The purpose for evaluation is to understand the degree to which the project goals are being met and to monitor and improve project effectiveness along the way in an effort to help reach those goals. Significant attention will be paid to gathering and tracking longitudinal data so that we can document overall impact of engagement with and support of ActionWebs on participant educational and career choices. Education, K. Gates

  8. Looking Forward Curriculum Development will leverage existing courses with new and revised courses offering Mentoring Post-Docs provide tools for success in both academic and industrial settings. Curriculum Development at SJSU will leverage and expand current programs as well as create new undergraduate research opportunities at SJSU. SJSU Capacity Building Program will draw in California State University System and broaden participation. REU and RET programs will attract and retain students in STEM, create research opportunities for students and begin to file the STEM pipeline at the high school level. Increasing participation of women will support NSF broadening participation initiatives and US workforce development in STEM fields. Education, K. Gates
