This page provides links to some
teaching resources that I find useful.
@ONE
- California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office project designed to assist
faculty in their efforts to enhance student learning and success through
expanded uses of effective technology, by providing training, resources, and
support.
California
Science Education Information and Resources - The California Department of
Education website with information to help teachers improve curriculum,
instruction, and professional development in science education. Includes
a pdf version of the Science
and Mathematics Content
Standards.
National
Institute for Science Education
- NISE is a National Science Foundation project intended to "address the totality of the
[science] education enterprise, to assess its effectiveness, and examine what
new activities need to be established, what activities are no longer needed,
and what new approaches will enhance science education."
Physics
Education Group - The Physics Education Group at the University of
Washington conducts a coordinated program of research, curriculum development,
and instruction. The group is currently engaged in three major projects:
improvement of student learning in introductory physics; preparation of future
physics faculty; and preparation of precollege teachers to teach physics and
physical science as a process of inquiry.
Project
2061 - Project 2061 of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science is a long-term initiative to
reform K-12 science education nationwide. The project is creating a
coordinated set of reform tools and services—books,
CD-ROMS, on-line resources, and workshops—to
help educators work toward science literacy for all students.
Project
Kaleidoscope - Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL) is an informal national
alliance of individuals, institutions, and organizations committed to
strengthening undergraduate science, mathematics, engineering, and technology
education. It has two primary goals: transforming the learning
environment for undergraduate students in SME&T by building institutional
teams with a driving vision of what
works and who are committed to action and fostering public understanding
of how a strong undergraduate science community serves the national interest.
