The Examples section
is not a comprehensive survey of all K-12 science
education partnerships. Decisions about which
partnerships to include were based in part on these goals
to acquaint users with a range of programs that
illustrate a specified range of roles that exist
in education partnerships for scientists,
engineers, and institutions interested or
involved in K-12 science education improvement
to acquaint users with some of the entry points
for their involvement in these or similar
partnerships
to show users a diversity of promising education
partnership models for possible replication
Also, Project RISE staff , the Project RISE Steering
Committee, and the Executive Director of the Center for
Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Education took into
account whether these partnerships could be identified
with one or more of the major roles or institutional
origins specified in the tables below.
The EXAMPLES
