These Centers for Ocean Science Education Excellence (COSEE) will foster the integration of ocean research into high quality educational materials, allow ocean researchers to gain a better understanding of educational organizations and pedagogy, provide educators with an enhanced capacity to understand and deliver high-quality educational programs in the ocean sciences, and provide material to the public that will promote a deeper understanding of the ocean and its influence on each person's quality of life and our national prosperity.20025.2407.1905.700General STEMInstitutional Capacity: Support advancement and development of STEM personnel, programs, and infrastructure in educational institutions such as universities, informal education institutions, state education agencies, and local education agenciesLearning: Develop STEM skills, practices, or knowledge of students or the publicEngagement: Increase learners engagement, interest in STEM and their perception of its value to their lives, or their ability or participate in STEMPre and In Service Educator/Education Leader Performance: Train or retain STEM educators (K-12 pre-service or in-service, post-secondary, and informal) and education leaders to improve the content knowledge and pedagogical skills of STEM educatorsPost-Secondary STEM Degrees: Increase the number of students who enroll in STEM majors, complete STEM credentials or degree programs, or are prepared to enter STEM careers or advanced educationOtherFoster the integration of ocean research and education and leverage NSF-OCE investment in research and facilities.Small-Scale Implementation: STEM education projects, techniques, models, resources, and/or technologies used with a relatively small group of learners or educators in one or several (
