Drs. Shiang-Kwei Wang and Hui-Yin Hsu, associate professors from School of Education, hosted their 1st National Science Foundation grant institute at NYIT Manhattan Campus on April 12. The “Cyber-Enabled Learning” grant is a 5-year grant, awarded in 2010. The attendees included teachers, assistant principals, and principals from 17 New York City public schools. The institute was to celebrate the progress of this project, highlight teachers’ achievements, share impact this project has on students’ learning, and establish a learning community for teachers and administrators so they can help sustain the project goals.
The information session for cohort 3 seed teachers was held at NYIT Old Westbury Campus, 1 pm, April 6. The cohort 3 teachers will begin with our program from 2013 summer. (Click to view the group picture.)
