Final Report to the U.S. Department of Defense On The Defense Reinvestment Initiative

Abstract

The National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (NAS/NRC), through its Center for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Education (Center), has completed the Defense Reinvestment Initiative (DRI) project funded by the Department of Defense (DoD). The key objectives of the project have been to design, plan, implement, and evaluate a strategy to prepare professional scientists, mathematicians, and engineers from military duty, defense-related and aerospace industries, and national laboratories for careers in secondary school mathematics and science teaching. The DRI Advisory Board (DRIAB) and staff in cooperation with administrators and teachers of Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and faculty and administrators at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), designed a single subject teacher credential program that is aligned with content, teaching, and assessment standards for science and mathematics education. After the cohort of participants (DRI Fellows) had completed the formal credential program, two years of follow-up professional development and support were provided. An external evaluator was retained to evaluate the program.
