Since
coming to CSULB I have been involved in several projects and grants.
Below
you will find some of them.

Robert
Noyce Scholarship this scholarship program is funded by the National
Science Foundation. It provides up to $15,000 per year (for up to two years)
while you earn a credential to teach science or math. Scholars tutor in
partner schools, participate in an on-campus seminar and commit to teach
in a high need school upon graduation. (2004-2008, 2008-2012) |

Building Locally,
Linking Globally is a project which links Noyce programs across several
CSU campuses. Houses on MERLOT, the project provides opportunities for
professional development, cohort building and resource sharing. (2007-present)
Along with Dr. Andrews
(CSU Fresno) and Dr. Tomanek (Univ. of Arizona) we will be sponsoring annual
Western Regional Noyce Conferences. These weekend-long conferences will
bring together Scholars and project personnel from each of the Noyce campuses
in the western US. |

Young
Scientists' Camp is a 3 week program for prospective teachers and elementary
students that is cosponsored by the Science Education Department, LBESTEP,
GEAR-UP and LBUSD. (2000-present) |
|
Association
of Future Science Educators is a club for future K-12 teachers of science.
We meet monthly for a science teacher related event. Visit here to see
past events and a calendar
of upcoming events. |

CSU/NASA
Educational Collaborative A consortium of CSU science, education
and technology faculty working with NASA scientists to promote better K-16
science instruction. I am a member of the Steering Committee for this collaborative.

FORMER PROJECTS |
|
TS3P Project
|
Teaching Secondary
School Scholars Program is an NSF grant hosted at Cerritos College which
will develop a pathway for future math and science teachers to seamlessly
move from into 4-year universities and credential programs. (2005-2009) |
Texas Instrument
Probeware Workshop
|
Texas Instruments
helps provide workshops for teachers to learn how to use their calculators
as data gathering instruments. I have hosted workshops for both preservice
elementary and secondary science teachers each spring. (2005-2008) |

LBESTEP- Long Beach
Elementary Science Teacher Education Project is an NSF sponsored project
to improve math and science teaching for prospective elementary teachers.
Among
the on-going projects related to LBESTEP is the Long Beach Area Science
Educators Network (LBSEN). This group of K-16 science educators meets
2-3 times per semester for dinner, presentations and discussions. |

I served as
the 4-Year College Director for the California Science Teachers Association
Board of Directors. CSTA is the state-wide
science teachers association. In addition to hosting the annual conference
this body represents the views of science teachers to policy makers and
educational bodies. (2004-2008) |

Project
ALERT (Augmented Learning Environment & Renewable Teaching) is
a collaborative effort between the CSU system and NASA. The project's main
goal is to improve earth science education for prospective teachers.(Funded
and active 1998-2002.) |
