Federal award helps APSU improve K-8 science and math education throughout the area
December 15, 2009 | 
The Austin Peay State University College of Education recently received $476,000 in federal funding to provide state-of-the art science and mathematics instruction to K-8 preservice teachers and professional development workshops and courses for elementary and middle school teachers.
“We are very excited about this award,” APSU President Tim Hall said. “It reinforces the University’s historic strength as a place where teachers learn to teach. It also recognizes the University’s increasing prominence in the area of undergraduate science and math education.”
The congressional award was the result of two years of lobbying to improve science and math education for preservice teachers. The award was the result of the support of Congressman John Tanner of Tennessee’s 8th District.
“This is the largest award the College of Education has ever received. We are very grateful to Congressman Tanner for his support,” Dr. Carlette Hardin, interim dean of the College of Education, said. “This funding allows us to provide the very best instruction for our students.” «Read the rest of this article»

I did have concerns that the book could be dreadfully boring. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how Vanderbilt kept my interest; I couldn’t put the book down. He does a stunning job of reducing decades of research into a 286 page book.
The book is not just on traffic congestion. It discusses at length issues of engineering, driver psychology, and traffic issues world wide. Instead of summarizing what the book is about, it may be better to list some of the questions/topics addressed by Vanderbilt: «Read the rest of this article»
Climate Fellowship offers students real-world opportunities
January 25, 2009 |
Clean Air–Cool Planet (CA-CP) has successfully worked with communities, campuses, and corporations to achieve millions of tons of greenhouse gas reductions.
Small investments made in getting initial, catalytic projects off the ground often lead to greater institutional commitment and long-term success in comprehensive climate leadership efforts. Yet it can often be difficult to allocate the resources necessary to get those projects completed. «Read the rest of this article»
