Initiatives

DREAMS

DREAMS is a K-12 Math and Science program focusing on leadership skills and deep content knowledge through one of the following three methods; a Specialist Endorsement in Mathematics or Science OR an MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) in Interdisciplinary Mathematics and Science OR an MAT in Mathematics, Physics or Biology. DREAMS is a 3-year program with summer and academic year components.

NWO TEAMS

NWO TEAMS is a science and mathematics professional development opportunity for grades 3-6 teachers focusing on modified and enhanced OSCI and OMAP modules. NWO TEAMS is funded by the Ohio Department of Education. Participants receive stipends, training in research-based curricula, classroom materials and graduate credit scholarships.

Affiliated Projects

RIPE

RIPE provides professional development for K-3 teachers in physics. RIPE participants are involved in an 8-day summer institute and academic year follow-up meetings.

REAL

REAL provides an opportunity for high school students entering 11th and 12th grade to receive college credit which may also fulfill high school requirements, if approved by the student's home school district. This is a three-week residential summer academy at Bowling Green State University. Upon successful completion of the academy courses, students are eligible to take an additional distance-learning course in the fall.

TeachOhio

NWO TeachOhio is a grant funded by the Ohio Department of Education to increase the pool of highly qualified 7th-12th grade mathematics and science teachers in high-needs districts in Ohio through alternative licensure. The essence of our model is to prepare nontraditional students to become highly qualified mathematics and science teachers through a program that provides coursework needed for alternative licensure while leading to a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Teaching from Bowling Green State University (BGSU).

EXCITE

Project EXCITE is a seven year professional development project funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The grant represents a partnership between Bowling Green State University, local school districts, local scientists, and community agencies.

Project EXCITE combines problem-based learning techniques with Environmental Health issues to promote hands-on, minds-on learning in and out of the classroom.
