2020-MSSE-Program Reduced.Pdf History Master of Science in Science Education Program In May of 1996, the Montana Board of Regents of Higher Education approved a new degree, the Master of Science in Science Education (MSSE), designed for science educators interested in graduate study while remaining employed. It is unusual in two important ways. First, it is an intercollege, interdisciplinary effort. Five colleges, The Graduate School, and sixteen departments collaborate to offer this innovative degree. Second, over eighty percent of the course credits needed to complete the degree are offered by distance learning in structured interactive courses using asynchronous, computer mediated instruction. The National Teacher Enhancement Network (NTEN) program, a National Science Foundation grant funded project since 1992, developed and offers many of the distance learning courses for this degree program. While direct oversight of the program was provided by the Graduate School from inception to 2016, the program was moved to the College of Letters and Science July 1, 2016. In addition to completing core courses in education, those seeking the degree develop interdisciplinary combinations of science courses from offerings in biology, chemistry, earth science, ecology, engineering, microbiology, physics, plant science, and other science content areas. All graduates complete a capstone project in their final year. Norm Reed, Coordinator 1996 to 1998, artfully handled admissions for the first two cohorts, oversaw design and development of core classes, and overall implementation of the program. Carol Thoresen, Coordinator 1999 to 2007, grew the program from 25 to about 60 students per year. Larger enrollment allowed for a wider variety of science course offerings. Carol worked with instructors and researchers to develop over 25 new program courses. Peggy Taylor Director 2007 to 2016, was a graduate of the program’s first cohort and brought a unique perspective to its administration. Contributions included expansion of the program’s targeted populations, strengthening the program’s framework through continuous evaluation processes, and increasing course offerings as well as involvement of science MSU faculty. Gregory Francis is the current MSSE Director as well as a tenured professor in the Physics Department. When the MSSE Program first began in 1996, Greg was one of the original core science faculty in the physics content area. Diana Paterson, Associate Director 2002-2019. She provided critical recruiting and advising support to off- campus graduate students. Diana skillfully managed the MSSE office and staff. She retired in 2019. John Graves, Lead Program Faculty and Associate Director, has been a core MSSE instructor since 2003. He assumed his duties as Lead Program Faculty in 2009. In addition to his instructional responsibilities, John provides guidance and mentoring for MSSE faculty, participates in various outreach activities, and serves as liaison between the MSSE office and MSSE instructors. Holly Thompson, Program Coordinator, joined the program in 2013. Her responsibilities include admissions, marketing, recruitment, and general administrative and student support. Maddie Felts, Assistant Director, started with MSSE in 2019. Responsibilities include overall academic advising for MSSE students as well as general operational and logistical support 1 | Page MSSE Capstone Project Each Master of Science in Science Education (MSSE) student, with the cooperation of his/her graduate committee, identifies and completes a capstone project. Each project is designed to provide experience and information that aids our understanding of science teaching-learning or science curriculum. The capstone project topic is generally identified early in the student’s graduate program. A student begins the project, which generally relates to science education in the MSSE student’s educational setting, in the fall of the final year by submitting a proposal to his/her advisor. The results of each student’s project are summarized in a written professional paper completed and presented in the student’s final summer session. The MSSE Steering Committee, faculty, and staff congratulate these deserving graduate students for their persistence to pursue a graduate degree, while continuing full-time employment as science educators. 2 | Page MSSE Program, College of Letters and Science Director Gregory Francis Associate Director John Graves Assistant Director Madeline Felts Program Officer Holly Thompson MSSE Faculty Steering Committee David Cherry Letters & Science Steve Holmgren Chemistry/Biochemistry Todd Kaiser Electrical & Computer Engineering Dave Lageson Earth Sciences Craig Ogilvie Graduate School Jennifer Luebeck Mathematics Nicholas Lux Education Kim Obbink Academic Technology & Outreach Amy Washtak Bozeman HS, MSSE Graduate Angela Weikert Museum of the Rockies, MSSE Graduate Walt Woolbaugh Science Education Supporting Colleges & Divisions Academic Technology & Outreach Kim Obbink College of Agriculture Sreekala Bajwa College of Engineering Brett Gunnink College of Education, Health & Human Development Alison Harmon College of Letters & Science Nicol Rae The Graduate School Craig Ogilvie Collaboration Departments Cell Biology & Neuroscience Roger Bradley Chemistry/Biochemistry Joan Broderick Civil Engineering Craig Woolard Computer Science John Paxton Earth Science Yordy Hendrikx Ecology Diane Debinski Education Tricia Seifert Electrical Engineering Todd Kaiser Health & Human Development Deborah Haynes Land Resources & Environmental Sciences Tracy Sterling Microbiology & Immunology Mark Jutila Physics Yves Idzerda Plant Science & Plant Pathology Mike Giroux Political Science Franke Wilmer 3 | Page 2020 Capstone Project Advisors Lisa Brown, Academic Technology & Outreach Terrill Paterson, Ecology Nick Childs, Physics Elinor Pulcini, Microbiology & Immunology Greg Francis, Physics Marci Reuer, Science Education John Graves, Science Education Sarah Schmitt-Wilson, Education Hartshorn, Tony, Land Resources & Environmental Science Dana Skorupa, Chemical & Biological Engineering Robyn Klein, Plant Sciences & Plant Pathology Ken Taylor, Physics Dan Lawver, Earth Sciences Kate Solberg, Science Education LeAnne Lorenz, Mathematical Sciences Angie Weikert, Museum of the Rockies Nicholas Lux, Education John Winnie, Ecology Amanda Mattson, Chemistry/Biochemistry Walt Woolbaugh, Science Education Delisha Patel, Microbiology & Immunology Off-Campus Advisors Arlene Alvarado, Montana Tech Megan Hopkins, Naperville School District Marc Baker, Arizona State Dawn-Marie Ickes, Mt.

In these times of tight budgets, it can be a challenge to find ways to support worthy causes. But here’s an idea: Why not brown bag it,and pass some of the savings on to TU? I Eating out can be an unexpected drain on your finances. By packing your lunch, you can save easy dollars, save commuting time and trouble, and maybe even eat healthier, too. (And, if you still have that childhood lunch pail, you can be amazingly cool again.) I Plus, when you share your savings with TU, you make a tremendous difference.Gifts to our Annual Fund support a wide variety of needs, from purchase of new equipment to maintenance of facilities. All of these are vital to our mission. I So please consider “brown bagging it for TU.” It could be the yummiest way everto support the University. I Watch the mail for more information.
