Project Description: WestEd provides external evaluation services to The Joan and James Leitzel Center for Mathematics, Science and Engineering Education at the University of New Hampshire on a three-year project, PROBE: Partnerships for Research Opportunities to Benefit Education, funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation’s GK-12 initiative.
PROBE is an interactive project designed to support the linking of graduate fellows in science and mathematics with grade 9-12 students and teachers. The program emphasis is on authentic inquiry in grade 9-12 classrooms; participation in the NH Science and Engineering Exposition, and a variety of summer science training programs; and providing science methods, instrumentation support, and research experiences for teachers and students.
WestEd is providing an in-depth, formative evaluation to Impact Center Staff and other GK-12 stakeholders and participants in an advisory capacity, promoting reflection and sharing of experiences among project participants, and providing a summative evaluation on the achievement of project goals and objectives.
