The Lowcountry Hall of Science and Math is comprised of
the following four Program Offices: Charleston Math and Science
Unit, Masters of Education in Science and Math, Project Oceanica,
and The Southeast Regional Clearinghouse (SERCH).
Lowcountry Regional Math and
Science Center - Charleston Site
With the South Carolina Educational Accountability Act, demanding curriculum
standards, and the federal No Child Left Behind Legislation, South Carolina
has been challenged to substantially increase student acheivement in science
and mathematics. The South Carolina Department of Education's Mathematics and
Science Unit is committed to helping teachers to rise to the challenge through
a carefully planned program of ongoing support and assistance. More
Masters of Education
in Science and Math
The School of Science and Mathematics and the School of Education jointly offer
a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Science and Mathematics. This program offers
graduate level courses in the sciences, mathematics, and education that addresses
the needs of teachers. The program's intention is to strengthen and broaden
the practicing teacher's science, mathematics, and education knowledge and
understanding for use in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms. It
also provides a solid background for those who might eventually pursue a doctoral
degree in science and mathematics education. More
Project Oceanica
With grant support from the NOAA National Ocean Service, the College of Charleston
recently established Project Oceanica to address the need for strong development
of educational resources that bring discoveries being made off the southeast
U.S. coast to a broad audience of users. Project Oceanica is already working
with numerous programs and scientists from throughout the southeast, and
is making available to K-12 teachers, college and graduate students, and
the general public a variety of online education products and resources. More
Southeast Regional
Clearinghouse
Welcome to SERCH. SERCH is a program funded by NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD). Our purpose is to promote space science awareness and enhance interest in science, math, and technology through the use of NASA's SMD mission data, information, and educational products.
SERCH works closely with 14 Space Grant consortia (AL, AR, DC, FL, GA, KY, LA, MD, MS, NC, PR, SC/VI, TN, and ; VA) throughout the southeastern United States. SERCH serves as a broker and facilitator of services between the region's educational community and researchers involved in SMD missions. More
