Teacher teams from around the country learn how to apply state-of-the-art
simulation and modeling techniques in the classroom to standards-based
science and mathematics concepts. Computational scientists guide 25 teams
of teachers in their exploration of innovative tools and applications that
support students learning in collaborative work groups focused on science
and mathematics. The selected teams continue their involvement during the
following 18 months with monthly seminars and a Summer Institute. The
teacher teams develop modeling and simulation curriculum modules that are
shared nationally. As leaders in their school systems, teachers organize
wider adoption of computational science methods by their peers. Although
applications from both are accepted, high school teacher teams are given
preference over middle school teacher teams.
