The ROSE-RET Grant Project, a three-year initiative hosted by Missouri State University, provided high school educators with hands-on research experiences in computer science. Sandy Branstetter, High School Business Teacher, participated in Year 2 of the project, while Doug McDaniel, District Technology Coordinator, participated in Year 3. During their six-week summer sessions at MSU in Springfield, both educators engaged in in-depth learning and research in key areas of computer science, including computer programming, the Internet of Things (IoT), cybersecurity, and ethical hacking.

As a result of their participation, both Sandy and Doug have brought back a wealth of knowledge, curriculum resources, and practical applications to benefit students at Walnut Grove Schools. In addition to her hands-on experience, Sandy collaborated with two university professors and a fellow educator to co-author a scholarly article highlighting the project’s impact and the integration of computer science concepts into classroom instruction. Doug and his fellow Year 3 cohort members will continue meeting monthly throughout the school year to extend their learning and collaboration.
