Extractions: 02:00 AM Sep. 10, 2001 PT No one likes waiting for audio and video files to download. Certainly not school teachers, who can't afford to waste precious classroom time while students stare at a half-blank computer screen, waiting for a virtual museum tour to finish loading. But if all goes as planned, K-12 students in California may soon have access to an array of rich content previously unavailable to them due to the limitations of slow bandwidth. The Digital California Project provides $3.6 million a year for a broadband network to wire all of the state's 11,000 K-12 schools. Funded by the state of California, the project is scheduled to be completed by June 2002.

This year an estimated 1,600 students and educators representing 320 high schools competed in 22 regional competitions during February. Science teachers volunteer their time outside of the classroom as coaches to prepare the students for the competition.

The grants, made under the NSF Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) program, will go to institutions in 24 states from New York to Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico. The multi-year awards were made after reviewing proposals from 157 institutions in 46 states. Collectively, the 31 new grants, totaling $13.4 million for the first year, will fund about 300 graduate and 100 undergraduate students annually. Planned as a pilot effort in1999, the program received such a positive response from colleges and universities that NSF allocated more funds than originally planned. A formal program was requested and approved by Congress as part of NSFs 2000 budget.

Although the country has made significant progress over the past decade to improve schools and student achievement, challenges remain, he said, including closing the achievement gaps between white students and African-American and Latino students.
