Subject: [WWWEDU] A Scholarship to Supercomputing, Pittsburgh Conference?
Interested?

Education Program

All teachers working with K-20 students, CIOs, and DTLCs are encouraged to
apply for the program.
The theme of this yearâ??s education program is â??A K-16 Comprehensive
Educational Agenda for High Performance Computing.â?? The program will focus on 

undergraduate faculty and K-12 teachers creating and using local computational 
science
â??infrastructuresâ?? at their schools and institutions.

In a practice-oriented workshop format, participants will study how to apply
high performance computing tools and resources across the curriculum in their
specific teaching situations and/or research interests, as well as how to
integrate modeling and visualization techniques into their classroom 
instruction.

Computational scientists will support participants as they identify
appropriate tools for the subjects and curricula they teach and the 
instructional
strategies they use. Special emphasis will be given to using high performance
computing to promote collaborative learning strategies.

The program will include reviewing existing materials as well as developing
new curriculum modules appropriate for classroom instruction. The resulting
materials and instructional application will be published on the web for use by 

other educators. Finally, a follow-up year-long program of workshops, mentoring 

and resource support will be available to assist teachers as they apply these
new ideas in practice.

Application submission deadline: May 24, 2004

The theme of this year's education program is K-20 Comprehensive
Educational Agenda for High Performance Computing.

The program will focus on undergraduate/graduate faculty and K-12 teachers 
creating and using local
computational science â??infrastructuresâ?? at their schools and institutions.

This year's program will also introduce the Technology Integration Leadership 
Program (TILP).

In a practice-oriented workshop format, participants will study how to apply
high performance computing tools and resources across the curriculum in their
specific teaching situations and/or research interests as well as how to
integrate modeling and visualization techniques into their classroom 
instruction.

Computational scientists will support participants as they identify appropriate 

tools for the subjects and curricula they teach and the instructional
strategies they use. Special emphasis will be given to using high performance
computing to promote collaborative learning strategies. Ideas and materials 
generated
during the conference session/workshops will be published via the WEB and
maintained for future use by other interested persons. Finally, a follow-up
yearlong program of workshops, mentoring and resource support will be available 
to
assist participants as they apply these new ideas into their professional 
practice.

Workshop Tracks
The program will include two tracks: 1) Instructional; and 2) Technology
Integration Leadership Program.

Track 1-Instructional is divided into two parts, Beginning and Advanced,
  to accommodate the diverse needs among participants. The beginning and
advanced tracks will include review of existing materials as well as 
development
of new curriculum modules appropriate for classroom instruction.

Track 2 - Technology Integration Leadership will focus on higher education
Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and/or Directors of Teaching and Learning
Centers (DTLCs) interested in the potentials, applications, and implementations 

of high performance computing.

Team Composition

Track 1-Instructional: Teams should consist of two, university faculty
(preferably one undergraduate and one graduate), two K-12 teachers, and one
undergraduate student majoring in a relevant or related field.

Track 2- Technology Integration Leadership Program: Team participants must be
the Chief Information Officer or Director of a teaching and learning center
(faculty development) at a participating team's university.

All teachers working with K-20 students, CIOs, and DTLCs are encouraged to
apply for the program. Additionally, Track 1-Instructional university team
members are urged to inform their respective CIOs and/or DTLCs of their plans 
to
attend and encourage them to participate in the Technology Integration
Leadership Program and vice-versa.

While no previous experience with computational science is necessary, some
successful uses of classroom computing will be helpful, as will a keen interest 

in maximizing students learning achievements using the latest ideas to apply
computing technologies to education. Visit the web site below  for
instructions on how to apply.

Scientists and educators interested in participating as content experts and
mentors to these teachers and college educators are encouraged to contact the
Education Committee at the email address below.
