Collaborative Study Investigation Grants
Teacher Team Professional Development Grants for Middle and High School Science and Math
Collaborative Study Investigation (CSI) proposals are open to middle school, high school and college teams. CSI provides an opportunity for teachers to work with colleagues in public schools and universities to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics and/or science by investigating issues of local interest. Successful applicants will begin their CSI project during the summer at SEOCEMS annual CSI conference.
- - CSI grants are for $10,000 and require a two-year team commitment.
- - CSI Team projects can either be a two-year action research project or a two-year Lesson Study project.
- - Teams receive consultant and financial support to conduct their activities.
CSI teams consist of 4-6 individuals who share an interest in investigating a particular issue over a two-year period. Teams include at least one public school teacher and one university faculty.
Individual team members deepen and broaden their knowledge about the teaching and learning of science or mathematics, enhance their professional development, and provide valuable information to their school districts or departments about an important local issue.
