Purdue Science K-12 Outreach: Impact for K-12 Schools in Indiana (original) (raw)

Description

For over 25 years Purdue Science K-12 Outreach has worked to increase interest and achievement in K-12 science and mathematics. Outreach coordinators, representing the departments in the College of Science, establish cooperative relationships with elementary and secondary schools to bring the latest developments in discipline-based science and mathematics education to the classroom. Programs include translating research into practice and using technology to support K-12 student learning. The Science K-12 Outreach program is actively involved with state education organizations and government agencies. Coordinators regularly participate with the Hoosier Association of Science Teachers, the Indiana Computer Educators, and the Indiana Council of Teachers of Mathematics. They work regularly with the Indiana Department of Education on programs and educational policy. During the poster session, participants can learn about existing Science K-12 Outreach activities and ways to partner with the program.
