Established
in 1989 by the National Academy of Sciences/National
Research Council, RISE conducts workshops and publishes
materials to help scientists and engineers play effective
roles in improving science education, from kindergarten
through high school. In fulfilling its mission and
meeting its goals, RISE draws on both educational
research and practice, and is part of the www* Center for
Science, Mathematics and Engineering Education.
In November of 1996, RISE sponsored a working
conference for representatives of the nation's most
effective local, regional, and national partnerships
between scientists and K-12 educators. These
knowledgeable participants then generated the substance
and form of this Internet resource. The agenda and
a list
of participants for the conference
are available.
RISE has been supported by grants from the www* Howard Hughes Medical
Institute, a medical research
organization and the National Science Foundation. The
design and research on specific contents of this web
resource were supported by the Executive Committee of the
Governing Board of the National Research Council. www* The National Research
Council is the operating agency for
the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of
Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
