Philosophy

The Colorado School of Mines (CSM) approach to outreach in Colorado’s Adams County District 50 (AC50) and Aurora Public Schools (APS) is to provide the opportunity 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 in AC50 and APS as they implement scientifically and mathematically rich, hands-on instruction at the elementary level. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is supporting our efforts at the middle school level in these school districts 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.    

Do You:

• Love mathematics, science and engineering?

• Want to make a difference in the education of future generations of students?

• Have a desire to improve the learning experiences of students in middle school and high school?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, you may be qualified to be involved in the project, "GK-12 Learning Partnerships: Creating Problem Centered, Interdisciplinary Learning Environments."
