Fin Channel.com, May 6 - Georgia State University was recently awarded a nearly $900,000 grant from the NSF to increase the number of science teachers in metro Atlanta schools. The grant, titled "Impacting Metro-Atlanta Science Teaching," or I-MAST, will be used to recruit, prepare and support 36 high quality science educators over the next five years... "The partnership between GSU and Georgia Tech is a great way to bring bright young scientists into the classroom," said Jennifer Leavey, director of Undergraduate Academic Services in the Georgia Tech School of Biology. "Tech is a nationally-ranked leader in undergraduate science education, but has no route for certifying K-12 teachers. GSU has an excellent College of Education and is only a few blocks away."
