ECHS
Teachers Join National Program:
The National Computational Science Leadership Program is intended to
build a national reservoir of secondary education teachers who can
effectively utilize computational science to enhance science and
math education. The overall goal of the program is the
development of a core group of teachers who, through a rich and
stimulating environment including interactions with leading
computational scientists and year-round support, will reach out from
within their school districts to share their knowledge and expertise
with other teachers.
East
Carteret High School will send the local entry to the National
Computational Science Leadership program. The team
(Barbara Waters, Tammy Schooley, John Molokach, and Judy
Carawan) is one of twenty-five teams selected nationally
to participate. They will gain the confidence,
professional development, and skills required to integrate
high performance computing technology into the educational
curriculum.
Team Member Benefits
include the following:
- Provision of a laptop
computer, software, and paid attendance at the SC2001
Conference (November 10-16, 2002);
- Paid attendance to a
two-week summer workshop at the University of Alabama
Huntsville with research excursions to NASA's Marshall
Space Flight Center (July 2002);
- Computational science
leadership skill development;
- Participation in web cast
seminars, computational science and leadership topics, and
on-line intra-classroom experiences including "live
national hands-on laboratory exercises"; and
- Development of learning
modules that will become a permanent part of the national
online computational science resource repository.
