This workshop will focus on ideas and the underlying PreK-12th grade research to support incorporating “Broader Impacts” into these classrooms with relevant, tangible ways to engage youth and their educators in your grant-supported work. In addition, we will examine the best delivery methods for the PreK-12th grade educators to support and enrich their classrooms with your cutting-edge research. We will address how to meet and exceed the academic standards-driven focus currently forced on our public educators as their students face the ineffective but demanded high-stakes standardized testing. Throughout the workshop, we will keep an eye on how to budget for the Broader Impacts in a climate of diminished funding for the necessary future and security of individual students as well as the world. Organizer: Barbara Shaw [5]
