Program Overview
The KBS K-12 Partnership is is a joint effort among KBS scientists, MSU College of Education faculty, and science teachers and administrators in 11 rural school districts in southwest Michigan. The partnership provides teachers in-depth exposure to research topics in environmental science and training to teach inquiry-based science at the elementary and secondary levels. Elements of the program include school-year workshops, a summer science institute, and the placement of advanced KBS graduate students in classrooms of local districts. Since 1999 the partnership has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, including awards from the Long-Term Ecological Research Program (DEB), the Teacher Retention and Renewal Program (EHR), and in 2006 an award from the NSF GK-12 Program (EHR).
