K-12 Science Education
The seminar brings together University faculty and K-12 educators to explore models for universities to contribute to strengthening elementary and secondary education, with a focus on science. The goals are to understand successful approaches and then implement them, first in Columbia's many community outreach programs with New York City teachers and children, and ultimately more broadly. What models are effective for university-school partnerships? What are the challenges in implementing partnerships that have lasting impact on science education in a large urban school system? We hope that the Seminar participants can work collaboratively to answer these questions and offer leadership in implementing solutions.
