Grant Used to Train Science Educators
A 1.1 million-dollar grant from Wipro will allow Curator’s Teaching Professor of Physics Meera Chandrasekhar and her team to expand science training to K–12 science teachers in central Missouri counties.
MU Curator’s Teaching Professor of Physics Meera Chandrasekhar and her colleagues, Teaching Professor Dorina Kosztin and Assistant Teaching Professor Karen King, spent six years training ninth-grade science teachers in Missouri to become intellectual leaders of their schools under the National Science Foundation–funded program, A TIME for Freshman Physics in Missouri, commonly called Physics First.
