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.
