A -- PROPOSALS FOR K-12 INTERNET EDUCATION ENHANCEMENT NASA's program titled "Leading Educators to Applications, Research and NASA-related Educational Resources in Science" (LEARNERS) intends to select a portfolio of projects which collectively have the promise of enhancing K-12 science, mathematics, technology and geography education through infusion of information and knowledge generated by NASA's scientific and engineering endeavors. The fundamental content of any NASA education activity is the knowledge derived from NASA's missions. The role of NASA's LEARNERS is to add value to K-12 education by translating this content in ways supportive of NASA's missions. NASA missions are defined by the four Strategic Enterprises: Aero-Space Technology, Earth Science, Human Exploration and Development of Space, and Space Science. The intent of this solicitation is the development of science, mathematics, technology, and geography instructional products that support K-12 curricula that are aligned with national standards and are based on NASA's unique missions andresults. These standards-based products are expected to facilitate the application of technology, to enhance the educational process, to address the development of innovative learning tools and strategies, and to empower and support the educator. Teams supported under this CAN are expected to rely heavily on the Internet and other technologies to communicate and to develop their products. The Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) for this endeavor will later be posted at URL: http://learners.gsfc.nasa.gov. Potential offerors should monitor that web site for questions related to the CAN.
