Synergistic Activities:
Collaborated with UTEP physics and education faculty on successful program to engage local high school teachers in educational research. Teacher projects have been presented at several national conferences and research expos. This project, known as the RPL’s (Research Pedagogical Laboratories), is sponsored by an NSF Math/Science Partnership Award.
Collaborated (as co-PI) with Physics Faculty at University Wisconsin-Milwaukee in writing a successful NSF-REU/RET grant proposal. Directed first half of the summer program, which involved working with the selected undergraduate physics majors and high school physics teachers, physics department faculty and staff. Provided formative and summative evaluation of first year.
Provided educational evaluation for funded NIH – SEPA and NSF – CCLI grants written by a biochemist (at the Milwaukee School of Engineering) and a biophysicist at (the University of Wisconsin – Madison). The NIH grant focuses on high school science teacher professional development and the CCLI grant focuses on undergraduate learning.
Facilitated 11 invited workshops on assessment, including: 1) in higher education in general (Physics Department, Vanderbilt University; Washington State Community Colleges; University of Minnesota – Crookston; and Kent State – Stark), 2) in K-12 science and mathematics (Visiting Kellogg Scholar for Battle Creek Area Schools, Battle Creek, Michigan, February 22-23, 1995) and in teacher education (Teacher Education Standards-Based Assessment Conference in Ruttgers Bay Lake Conference Center, Brainerd, Minnesota, April 15,1996).
Collaborated with Medical College of Wisconsin’s Center for Science Education to evaluate their high school, anti-smoking curriculum: “A Molecular Approach to Smoking Prevention and Cessation for Highs School Students.” Funded by state of Wisconsin Tobacco Prevention Research Education Project.
