Leadership in Marine Science

小行星9454413 加州大学洛杉矶分校海洋科学中心和洛杉矶联合学区（LAUSD）之间的合作旨在创建一个由160名教师（5-12年级）组成的骨干队伍，他们接受培训，使用海洋科学模型改变和加强整个系统的科学教学。 这个模型是由NSF资助，历时三年开发的。 该模型（即，海洋科学教师教育计划：M-STEP）提高了教师在课堂和海洋-B计划中的科学技能，该计划强调科学教育的海洋主题综合科学方法。 海洋科学是跨学科的，因此它们作为一个综合的、解决问题的、动手的课程来教授，使用海洋环境的共同主题。 在海洋科学计划（LIMS）的领导经验将在教师中发展必要的技能进行课堂，实验室和海洋科学领域的研究与学生。 他们也将成为同行培训的有效领导者。 由于LAUSD的新的学校集群组织，这些教师将影响四个学校集群，包括小学，初中和高中约35,000名学生。 该计划的目的是通过这种综合和主题的方法来科学课程组织系统的变化。 它不仅旨在改变这些集群中科学的交付方式，而且还侧重于吸引年轻的少数民族学生进入大学和科学。 它提供并提出了通过提供新的科学内容，领导技能的发展，协作同侪教学培训，以及什么是教的改进，以及如何在LAUSD的课堂上提供教师的进一步专业化的车辆。 LIMS教师将为LAUSD提供第一个基于集群的科学传播计划。

9454413 Hamner The collaboration between the UCLA Marine Science Center and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is designed to create a cadre of 160 teachers (grades 5-12) trained to change and strengthen science instruction throughout the system using a marine science model. This model has been developed over a period of three years and was funded by NSF. This model (i.e., Marine Science Teacher Education Program: M-STEP) enhances the science skills of teachers in a classroom and ocean-b program that emphasizes a marine thematic integrative science approach to Science education. The ocean sciences are interdisciplinary so that they taught as an integrated, problem solving, hands on curriculum using the common theme of the marine environment. Experiences in the Leadership In Marine Science Program (LIMS) will develop in teachers the skills necessary to conduct classroom, laboratory and field research in marine sciences with their students. They will also be effective leaders in peer training. Because of LAUSD's new cluster organization of schools, these teachers will impact four school clusters consisting of elementary, middle, and senior high schools with about a total of 35,000 students. The program is aimed at systemic change through this integrative and thematic approach to science curriculum organization. It is designed not only to change the way that science is delivered in these clusters, but it is also focused on attracting young minority students into universities and into the sciences. It provides and presents a vehicle for further professionalization of teachers by offering new science content, leadership skills development, collaborative peer teaching training, and the improvement of what is taught and how it is delivered in the classroom of the LAUSD. LIMS teachers will provide the first cluster-based science dissemination programs for LAUSD.
