Ocean Sciences Education Excellence ~National Science
FoundationDirectorate for Geosciences (GEO)The Division of Ocean
Sciences seeks to establish a network of coordinated centers that
will facilitate collaborations and communications between ocean
science researchers and educators. These Centers for Ocean Science
Education Excellence (COSEE) will foster the integration of ocean
research into high quality educational materials, allow ocean
researchers to gain a better understanding of educational
organizations and pedagogy, provide educators with an enhanced
capacity to understand and deliver high-quality educational
programs in the ocean sciences, and provide material to the public
that will promote a deeper understanding of the ocean and its
influence on each person's quality of life and our national
prosperity.20025.2407.1905.700General STEMInstitutional Capacity:
Support advancement and development of STEM personnel, programs,
and infrastructure in educational institutions such as
universities, informal education institutions, state education
agencies, and local education agenciesLearning: Develop STEM
skills, practices, or knowledge of students or the
publicEngagement: Increase learners engagement, interest in STEM
and their perception of its value to their lives, or their ability
or participate in STEMPre and In Service Educator/Education Leader
Performance: Train or retain STEM educators (K-12 pre-service or
in-service, post-secondary, and informal) and education leaders to
improve the content knowledge and pedagogical skills of STEM
educatorsPost-Secondary STEM Degrees: Increase the number of
students who enroll in STEM majors, complete STEM credentials or
degree programs, or are prepared to enter STEM careers or advanced
educationOtherFoster the integration of ocean research and
education and leverage NSF-OCE investment in research and
facilities.Small-Scale Implementation: STEM education projects,
techniques, models, resources, and/or technologies used with a
relatively small group of learners or educators in one or several
