LA Tech/Grambling State University Regional Collaborative for Excellence in Science Teaching |
 Leveraging ResourcesLeveraging local, state and national resources is the cornerstone of the Southern University/Louisiana State University Collaborative. Partnerships among the Louisiana Department of Education through their Math Science Parthership Programs and the Louisiana Board of Regents have provided information for compliance with all state education mandates and assisted the SLC in offering services to the education community. In addition, the SLC has forged partnerships with many education organizations and agencies, including the JASON Foundation, National Alliance of State Science and Math Coalitions (NASSMC), National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), Louisiana Science Teachers Association (LSTA), Louisiana Association of Science Leaders (LASL), Louisiana Environmental Education Commission, Louisiana Art and Science Museum, the Center for BioModular Multi-Scale Systems, Baton Rouge Recreation and Park Commission and LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory). Through these partnerships and many other connections, the SLC has been able to provide services that not only further science education across south Louisiana, but also provide extensive resources for K-16 teachers of science.  SLC JASON Train-the-Trainer Leadership InstituteSustainability is a key component of the South Louisiana Collaborative. Programs are embedded within an existing infrastructure to ensure successful completion and continuation of the SLC. Plans are currently underway to kick-off the South Louisiana JASON Train-the-Trainer Leadership Institute July 13-14. This institute is being led by a nationally recognized JASON Lead Trainer to provide leadership development to our first cohort of two-person teams, who will, in turn, provide professional development and mentoring to 160 of their peers over the course of the 2006-07 academic year.
