Appendix D: Awardee Planning Form
Definition of Key Terms:
Awardees: the ten entities that have entered into agreement with NASA to implement SoI.
Key partners: the awardee's partner organizations that will play a critical role in the project’s ability to meet NASA’s requirements for SoI (e.g., a partner who provides additional funding or is responsible for the recruitment of students and teachers should be considered a key partner whereas a partner whose main contribution is providing snacks/lunch should not be listed as a key partner).
SoI locations: the cities or towns where the SoI program activities are to be implemented.
Classrooms / Camp sessions: a defined set of student activities occurring during the summer. Note: because some program activities may occur only in one classroom/camp session within a location, a classroom and location may be one and the same in some instances.
PD sessions: a defined set of SoI professional development opportunities for certified teachers. Note: because some professional development activities may occur only in one PD session within a location, a session and location may be one and the same in some instances.
