Leadership in Marine Science

加州大学洛杉矶分校海洋科学中心和洛杉矶联合学区（LAUSD）之间的合作旨在培养一支由160名教师（5-12年级）组成的骨干队伍，通过海洋科学模型改变和加强整个系统的科学教学。这个模型已经开发了三年，由国家科学基金会资助。这种模式（即，海洋科学教师教育计划：M-STEP）在课堂和海洋b计划中提高教师的科学技能，强调以海洋主题综合科学方法进行科学教育。海洋科学是跨学科的，所以他们作为一个综合的，解决问题的，实践课程，使用海洋环境的共同主题。海洋科学领导项目（LIMS）的经验将培养教师与学生一起进行海洋科学课堂、实验室和实地研究所需的技能。他们也将成为同伴培训的有效领导者。由于LAUSD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，总计约35,000名学生。该计划旨在通过这种综合和主题的方法来系统地改变科学课程组织。它的设计不仅是为了改变在这些集群中传递科学的方式，而且还致力于吸引年轻的少数民族学生进入大学和科学领域。它通过提供新的科学内容、领导技能发展、协作式同伴教学培训以及在LAUSD课堂上教学内容和教学方式的改进，为教师的进一步专业化提供了一个工具。LIMS教师将为LAUSD提供首个基于集群的科学传播项目。

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.
