What is the BASE Center? When was BASE created? Why? How does BASE accomplish its mission? How can I get more information on science education in the nation? In my state? Who has attended a BASE event? What happens AFTER a symposium? When is the next event? I would like a symposium to be held in my state. What can I do? Where can I find out more about past BASE events? The Building Awareness of Science Education (BASE) Center is a new NSRC initiative aimed at educating the public about issues of science education and future workforce. The Center for Building Awareness of Science Education (BASE) of the National Science Resources Center was established in 2007 to act as the initiation and leadership cultivation arm of the NSRC. The center helps local, state, and national leaders create a shared vision with stakeholders to catalyze science education reform.
How does BASE accomplish its mission? It accomplishes this mission by disseminating the current research and best practices in science education, and by hosting national and regional symposia to inform the leaders of each education stakeholder group. It also partners with professional societies and organizations to leverage their work and to increase the scope and relevance of the NSRC.
How can I get more information on science education in the nation? In my state? The NSRC has many resources to help you in this search. Please contact us for more information. You can also find data from the following sources:
Who has attended a BASE event? Leaders representing business, higher education, government, school districts and non-profits from around the country are among those who have attended our symposia. See the NSRC past events page for attendee lists by event.
What happens AFTER a symposium? After a symposium is held, awareness and support for systemically reforming science education is raised. Leaders deeply interested in reforming science education in their community can collaborate to form partnerships with the NSRC. The National Science Resources Center guides districts, regions, states and countries towards the lasting implementation of research-based science education reform, and offers a comprehensive and effective strategy to ensure that such reform is implemented. The next national symposium will be held in the spring of 2009. For up-to-date information on NSRC events, please see our events page
I would like a symposium to be held in my state. What can I do? Contact Jennifer Childress, the director of the BASE center, at [email protected]to discuss opportunities to build awareness of science education reform in your area.
Where can I find out more about past BASE events? The NSRC past events page has links to event information, including attendees, programs, and more for the BASE center’s Changing the Course of Science Education and Developing Science Education Leadership events. |
