GeoPriSM grant to support the adoption of geospatial technologies in New Hampshire K-12 classrooms
July 2014 - A recently awarded Math Science Partnership grant will support the use of geospatial technologies in NH schools via teacher training, equipment and support throughout the school year.
The goal of the GeoPriSM project is to expand the depth and breadth of the implementation of geospatial technologies within K-12 schools across the state of New Hampshire, and therefore increase student achievement in science and math. This project seeks to provide both those teachers who currently use GIS and additional new recruits with intensive professional development aligned with the newly defined TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge) Framework for using geospatial technologies to teach science.
Teachers participating in the program will gain knowledge and skills in using geospatial technology, inquiry, and problem-based learning to enhance student engagement and achievement. Our goal is to include teachers at all grade levels (K-12), across all subject areas, and from all regions of the state.
