Mr. Josiah Sampson coordinates the science education program for the ECSU School of Mathematics, Science and Technology. Mr. Sampson became an assistant professor of biology, anatomy, physiology, and biology education at Elizabeth City State University in 2007. He brings STEM education expertise to the proposing team. Mr. Erik Froburg has extensive experience working in climate change education. He consults regularly on pedagogical best practices and designs and teaches in workshops related to climate science and Earth systems science more generally. He is active on the Martin GCCE Project working with the teachers in that program, and he is integral in the success of the UNH GEO-Teach project.

Nancy Hurley, Senior Research Associate at Learning Innovations at WestEd, is highly skilled in gathering, analyzing, and reporting data, conducting intensive school and district site visits, focus groups, interviews, formal and informal teacher and classroom observation, document review, and survey design, implementation and analysis (paper and on-line). She has conducted numerous program evaluations including in special education, teacher professional development, induction, retention, and mentoring of new teachers, effective school leadership, smaller learning communities, the use of technology in the classroom, science education, mathematics and social studies curricula, and school and district systems of support and change initiatives. Hurley is committed to working collaboratively with clients to design quantitative and qualitative evaluations that meet the needs of all constituents, and facilitates multi-constituency group discussions for logic model development to build broader understanding of the complexities of programs and common desired outcomes among different stakeholders.
Currently, Hurley directs the evaluation of the Nashua NH Smaller Learning Communities Grant and the Noyce Scholars Program at UMASS Dartmouth. She is a member of the team evaluating an NSF-funded math/science partnership for Penn State entitled: Middle Grades Earth and Space Science Education. This project involves observation of professional development, measurement of teachers’ content knowledge, and evaluation of changes in schools. Hurley contributed to the evaluations of the UNH Transforming Earth System Science Education Program (TESSE), and Partnerships for Research Opportunities to Benefit Education (PROBE). Recently completed work includes co-leading the program review of Cambridge MA Special Education Program; an evaluation of a web-based resource for teachers developed by Education Development Center and Vulcan Productions -- Success at the Core; the evaluation of the Quebec Community Learning Centres; the evaluation of Rhode Island’s Proficiency-Based Graduation Requirements Program; the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute research project on How Scientists and Teachers Can Best Work Together to Improve Science Education K-12; and the IES-funded Mathematica study on teacher induction and retention.
Hurley co-wrote with Ann Brackett Collaborative Evaluation Led by Local Evaluators: A Practical, Print- and Web-Based Guide to Program Evaluation (2004). nhurley@wested.org |
