Here are some PLANET-STEM and progenitor/partner program Successes:

Global Hands-On Universe:

  • 30,000 teachers around the world have attended GHOU meetings
  • GHOU materials are part of the Bavarian State Curriculum
  • GHOU Materials are part of the French National Curriculum
  • Over a thousand teachers a year are trained in GTTP sessions every year, around the world
Modeling Instruction:
  • Research indicates students learn almost twice as much as they do in normal classes (link to Colleen's pages)
  • Over 6000 Modeling Instructors in the United States
After School Science and Math Integration (ASAMI) for English Language Learners in the United States:
  • Combining GHOU materials/resources with Modeling Instruction pedagogy, Middle School English Language Learners typically learned twice as much as control groups in pilots in the United States.
ConnectaIdea Scalable Computer-Mediated Collaboration/Learning System
  • In Santiago economically challenged neighborhoods, students learned 43% more materials using PLANET-STEM resources!
In Nepal:
  •  Over 60 teachers certificates for using GHOU materials available for use with students and ConnectaIdea Collaboration System to come on line in November
