Affiliated Projects COSMOS DREAMS (Developing Regional Excellence for Achievement in Mathematics and Science Education) DREAMS is a collaborative partnership between three high-needs school districts (Toledo Public Schools, Lima City Schools, and Fostoria Community Schools), suburban and rural school districts, and the Colleges of Arts and Sciences and Education at BGSU. This Math and Science Partnership (MSP) grant aims to increase pK-12 teacher content knowledge and leadership skills in math and science by providing teachers with the opportunity and skills to become leaders in math and/or science for their school district. Participants have the option to complete a Master of Arts in Teaching in one of four areas (biology, mathematics, physics, or interdisciplinary math and science) or a Specialist Endorsement in mathematics or science. DREAMS serves over 75 teachers from across the state of Ohio by funding tuition for 9 graduate credit hours per year. Participants will remain with the program for the next three years as they take classes at BGSU to complete their graduate program. The recruiting brochure is available in Appendix M. Dr. Mandy Heddle, COSMOS Research Assistant Professor, is the Principal Investigator for the DREAMS program. The program provides a total number of 135 contact hours /year, with a cost of $25/contact hour. 10 34 Presentations 2006 2007 2 0 0 7 N W O Ce n t e r o f E xcellence • A n n u a l R e p o r t 17
