Follow on Google News | CEE and the Micron Foundation Host Bite of Science to Strengthen Science TeachingBite of Science will bring together high school science and humanities teachers to learn how to connect research to their classrooms. Teachers will meet Dr. Alessandra Luchini, George Mason University and Michael Frachel, Micron Technology, Inc.
By: Maureen Palmer The mission of the Teacher Enrichment Program helps to assure a future talented and diverse U.S. workforce in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It focuses on best practices and resources, as well as exposure to the breadth and depth of scientific discovery often not available to rural and urban high school teachers and their students. The Bite of Science professional development opportunities for teachers is estimated to impact at least 11,250 Virginia students in 2012. The Teacher Enrichment Program will provide content and information to teachers so they can engage students to become interested in pursuing STEM careers. “Teachers through the Teacher Enrichment Program will be given the opportunity to motivate students to pursue STEM professions,” CEE will feature Michael Frachel, Senior Engineer, DRAM Process Integration Group, Micron Technology Inc. and Dr. Alessandra Luchini, Assistant Professor, Center for Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine, George Mason University. They will discuss their work and relate it back to the classroom. The goals of the Teacher Enrichment Program are to: • Provide teachers with enhanced professional development • Furnish the opportunity for teachers to ask questions and to interact directly with scientists and engineers • Foster excitement in teachers to create an interest for students in STEM fields • Inform teachers so they have a better understanding of research and development • Allow teachers the opportunity to network with their peers About the Center for Excellence in Education The Center for Excellence in Education was founded in 1983 by the late Admiral H.G. Rickover and Joann P. DiGennaro, President of the Center. The Center's mission is to nurture high school and university scholars to careers of excellence and leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and to encourage collaboration between and among leaders in the global community. CEE sponsors the Research Science Institute (RSI), the USA Biology Olympiad (USABO), and the Teacher Enrichment Program (TEP).
