SSC: UCSC Summer Marine Science and Mathematics Institute

在加州大学城市社区-学校合作组织的主持下，加州大学圣克鲁斯分校（UCSC）夏季会议办公室与蒙特利半岛联合学区（MPUSD）合作，正在为进入或目前在九年级的非洲裔美国学生开发一个综合的海洋科学/数学研究所。A参赛者将从Seaside和Monterey高中选出。为期五周的暑期住宿项目将在加州大学圣克鲁斯分校举行，以探究为基础的数学和科学核心课程将包括四个主题：规模和结构、能源、稳定和变化以及系统和相互作用。讨论将集中在蒙特利湾国家海洋的自然历史、生物学、生态学和地质学上。教学重点将放在“做科学”时的合作学习上。在实验室和实地体验期间与大学教师和学生进行密切而有意义的互动将是夏季和学年计划的组成部分。暑期课程将增加图书馆研究技术、工作处理和电子表格操作以及联机信息检索系统等课程。创新的住宿计划将包括实地考察和学术/职业发展，冲突调解，发展人际关系技巧，时间管理和学习技巧的研讨会。全年跟进项目将包括指导/辅导项目、实习和家长信息、教育和支持服务。两所学校的高中教师在夏季和学年课程中的积极参与，将为学生提供全年的重要联系，并促进对参与者学业进展的监测。＊＊＊

Under the auspices of the UC Urban Community-School Collaborative, the Summer Session Office of the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), in collaboration with the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District (MPUSD), is developing a comprehensive Marine Science/Mathematics Institute for African American students entering or currently in the 9th Grade. A Participants will be selected from Seaside and Monterey High Schools. The 5-week residential summer program will be held on the campus of the University of California Santa Cruz, Santa CA. The inquiry based core curriculum of math and science will incorporate four main themes: Scale and Structure, Energy, Stability and Change and Systems and Interactions. Discussions will focus on the natural history, biology, ecology and geology of the Monterey Bay National Marine. The pedagogical emphasis will be on cooperative learning while "doing science." Close, Meaningful interactions with university faculty and students during laboratory and field experiences will be integral components of the summer and academic year programs. The summer curriculum will be augmented by courses in library research techniques, work processing and spread sheet operations and On-line information retrieval systems. The innovative Residential Program will include field trips and workshops on academic/career development, conflict mediation, developing interpersonal skills, time management and study skills. The year-round follow up program will include mentorship/tutorial programs, internships and parental information, education and support services. The active participation of high school teachers from both schools during both the summer and academic year programs, will provide a vital link to the students year round and facilitate monitoring of the participants' academic progress. ***
