Title: Sharing our successes: Changing the face of science and mathematics education through teacher-focused partnerships

Abstract

The Industry Initiatives for Science and Math Education (IISME) program, founded six years ago, is among those of which we are most proud, because of its success. IISME has identified 70 different scientific work experience programs for science and math teachers in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Approximately 45 of the IISME programs in this country are industry-based; 21 are part of the DOE-sponsored Teacher Research Associate (TRAC) Program; the remainder are university-based. Of the 70 known programs nationwide, nearly 40 are represented here today. Teachers work side by side with an industry mentor, then return to the classroom with renewed enthusiasm, firsthand experience with new technologies, and an improved understanding of industry's workforce needs and information about science careers to share with their students. This conference provided a forum for the interaction of K--12 teachers for information sharing about their programs of alliances and their plans to improve science education.
