NC-MSEN is pleased to welcome its new Executive Director, Dr. Verna L.
Holoman. Dr. Holoman comes to NC-MSEN from the University of Minnesota
Twin Cities, where she was the Coordinator of Programs for Recruitment
and Retention in the Life Sciences. She also has worked as the Senior
Academic Affairs Coordinator for the State Council of Higher Education
for Virginia. For several months, NC-MSEN
and the NC Department of Public Instruction have been working in partnership
with mathematics and science educators across the stateto form a Science
Framework for North Carolina public schools. On May 3, 2001, the
Science Framework Committee met in Chapel Hill to finalize the draft for
this document. The North Carolina Science Framework is in
the final stages and should be available soon. The framework will
provide the means to achieve excellence in science education in this state;
it will translate goals such as 'All students should be scientifically
literate' into a coherent vision of how educational standards, goals,
and practice will be used to achieve those goals. The North Carolina Center for School Leadership Development Building was happy to welcome a visit from U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) on April 1, 2002. Senator Kennedy held a press conference from the building that included former North Carolina Governor James B. Hunt. Senator Kennedy then led discussions with a panel of North Carolina educational leaders, including UNC System President Molly Corbett Broad, CSLD Program Directors, and NC-MSEN Executive Director Dr. Verna L. Holoman. Click here for pictures of the Senator's visit. The JASON Academy for Science Teaching and Learning provides innovative professional development for busy science educators. It offers online science content courses on thematic topics emphasizing the physical sciences to middle level (grades 4-9) science teachers. The goal of the Academy is to enhance the science content background of teachers and provide them with the tools to help students more effectively. For more information, click here. The North Carolina Association for Biomedical Research (NCABR), a statewide nonprofit science education organization, is beginning the seventh year of its highly successful professional development workshop RX FOR SCIENCE LITERACY: THE WHAT, WHERE, HOW AND WHY OF HEALTH SCIENCE RESEARCH. This one-day program, held at one of four NC biomedical research institutions, has now reached more than 1,850 North Carolina K-12 educators from 82 counties. The NC Principal Fellows Program
offers a scholarship-loan that provides funding for up to two years at
$20,000 per year to support students who enroll in and Find out about where to apply for funding or get classroom materials on NC-MSEN's page of links for teachers.
