为了使学生为迎接21世纪的挑战做好准备，全国各地都在开发新的研究生教育模式。一种模式是由国家科学基金会的K-12教育研究生教学研究员计划(GK-12)提供的，该计划扩大了研究生的培训范围，使其超越传统的研究计划。我们探索了蒙大拿大学以生态为重点的GK-12项目的影响，以及美国其他一系列以环境科学为导向的GK-12项目的更广泛影响。这些类型的计划是迫切需要的，以确保科学事业的未来领导者拥有良好的工具，作为熟练的合作者进行科学研究，解决社会面临的复杂环境挑战所产生的关键跨学科问题，并更好地与远远超出科学同行的不同受众交流他们的科学。
In response to the need to prepare students to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, new models of graduate education are being developed across the country. One model is provided by the National Science Foundation's Graduate Teaching Fellows in K—12 Education (GK—12) program, which broadens graduate students' training beyond their traditional research programs. We explored the impact of an ecologically focused GK—12 program at The University of Montana and the broader impacts of a set of other environmental-science-oriented GK—12 programs in the United States. These types of programs are urgently needed to ensure that future leaders of the scientific enterprise are well equipped with the tools to conduct science as skilled collaborators, to address the key interdisciplinary questions that arise from complex environmental challenges facing society, and to better communicate their science with diverse audiences well beyond their scientific peers.
