We are excited to team up with 100Kin10 partner, the Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation (PCLB), to address the second grand challenge around effectively preparing teachers to teach STEM subjects in the state of Connecticut.

Through this request for proposals, PCLB is looking for one 100Kin10 partner that is interested in establishing long-term relationships and, eventually, a robust presence in Connecticut to increase the secondary math, science, engineering, and/or computer science teaching force. Funds of up to $125K will be available.

Proposals are due July 31. Learn more by registering for a webinar on Tuesday, June 27th at 2:00PM ET.

How might we better measure the impact of K-8 science professional development on improved teaching and/ or increased longevity in the classroom?

We are excited to team up with 100Kin10 partner ExxonMobil to explore this aspect of the fourth grand challenge around effective professional development.

Through this request for proposals, one or more 100Kin10 partner will have the chance to contribute to the field’s understanding of current PD evaluation practices; the efficacy of those practices; and the opportunities that exist for improvement.

Funds of up to $50K will be available to conduct an environmental scan and gap analysis, and to develop a white paper (or equivalent work product) that will be widely disseminated to the network and the field at-large.

Project Teams are comprised of small groups of individuals who collaborate on time-bound projects connected to a Root Cause, and provide a flexible yet structured process for learning, ideating, and implementing — together. 8 Project Teams have been created and are looking for interested Members to join.

We are inviting sector leaders and experts like you to contribute your ideas, and responding should take no more than 15-20 minutes (although we would love for you to respond as many times as you’re able). We plan to close the Mapper on March 8.

Nominate up to three STEM teacher leaders for the inaugural 100Kin10 Teacher Forum. The Forum will enable 100Kin10 to regularly engage STEM teachers to inform our work and that of our partners. Teacher Members will contribute to periodic listening “Conversations” and receive invitations to special opportunities and events.

Join leaders across sectors as we publicly reconfirm both the importance of STEM to solving our country and planet’s biggest challenges and the need for 100,000 excellent STEM teachers to fuel that effort by adding your name to this open letter by the February 17 deadline.
