DR K-12 Presenters:
The Discovery Research K-12 (DR K-12) program, funded by the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings (DRL), supports research and development in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Specifically, the program seeks to enhance the learning and teaching of STEM by funding “research projects that study the development, testing, deployment, effectiveness, and/or scale-up of innovative resources, models and tools.”
This report, the fifth and final portfolio overview to be prepared by CADRE, describes important characteristics of the first six cohorts of DR K-12 projects that received their initial funding from 2007 to 2012. It characterizes the development and research in STEM education—on resources, models, and technologies—funded by the DR K-12 program.
The 2014 AERA Annual Meeting will be held Thursday, April 3 – Monday, April 7 in Philadelphia, PA. This year’s Annual Meeting Theme will be: “The Power of Education Research for Innovation in Practice and Policy”.
All nominations for the AAAS Mentor Awards are due by July 31, 2013, Midnight EST. The Mentor Awards honor individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in the science and engineering PhD workforce.
