 Albert
Einstein Fellows Program
The Triangle Coalition
administers the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program.
This program brings outstanding mathematics, science, and technology teachers
to Washington, DC. While here, they work as professional staff members in
Congressional offices, the Department of Energy, NASA, the National Institute
for Standards and Technology, or the National Science Foundation. This
program provides an opportunity for classroom teachers to impact national
educational policy and to learn about the political process and agency
programs.

The
Triangle Coalition convenes an annual conference. This conference
provides an opportunity for participants to learn from leaders of successful
alliances about effective business-education partnerships that seek to improve
science, math, and technology education. The
2009
Conference on STEM Education Policy was held on February 23-24 and focused
on key issues confronting education leaders at all levels. Among the topics
at this year's conference was the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind (NCLB),
and the continuing discussion concerning American competitiveness and the
best approaches to STEM education. This year's speakers and panel
discussions also addressed the proposed FY 2010 budget and its potential
impact on STEM education, as well as activities occurring at the state level
through the National Governors Association and other groups.
We
continue to publish the Triangle Coalition Electronic Bulletin (TCEB).
It is distributed
approximately 45 times a year and
is free to all Triangle Coalition members. It has proven to be
especially helpful to businesses and local alliances to keep them aware of
legislatives activities, outstanding and innovative educational programs, and
resources for science, mathematics, and technology education improvement.
Our website provides a wide variety of information about the Coalition and our members.
We have recently added an updated version of our popular publication, A Guide
to Winning Grants for Mathematics and Science Education: Where to Look and How
to Win.
