ESI 97-31429 Oberhauser This is a proposed three-year outreach that will engage teachers and students in long-term research partnerships incorporating NRC Standards. It is designed to enhance the capability of both middle and high school teachers incorporate formal research practices into their science classrooms. Project activities include experimental design, data collecting, data analysis, and science collaboration as teams throughout the eastern United States. The research focus will be the monarch butterfly. Results of the research into the monarch butterfly will provide baseline knowledge that will help and guide conservation efforts. It will also enrich the body of monarch butterfly research data currently available. There will be a total of 60 teachers and 120 students involved over the term of the project (i.e., three years). Teachers and students will work in teams (i.e., one teacher and two students). Special emphasis will be given to recruiting teachers with leadership qualities and in representation of urban, suburban, and rural schools, as well as a variety of cultural socioeconomic backgrounds. Project evaluation will be undertaken by the University of Minnesota Center for Applied research and Educational Improvement (CAREI). Dissemination of the project's work will be disseminated through presentations at local and national meetings, "teacher best practices circles," development of a Monarch Monitoring Resource packet and CD-ROM, on-line resources, and a fee-based institute.

这是一项提议的为期三年的外展活动，将使教师和学生参与纳入NRC标准的长期研究合作伙伴关系。它旨在提高初中和高中教师将正式研究实践纳入其科学课堂的能力。项目活动包括实验设计，数据收集，数据分析和科学合作，整个美国东部的团队。研究重点将是帝王蝶。对帝王蝶的研究结果将提供基线知识，这将有助于指导保护工作。它也将丰富目前可用的帝王蝶研究数据。在整个项目期间（即三年），将有60名教师和120名学生参与。教师和学生将以小组形式（即一名教师和两名学生）。将特别强调招聘具有领导才能的教师，并代表城市、郊区和农村学校，以及各种文化和社会经济背景。项目评估将由明尼苏达大学应用研究和教育改进中心（CAREI）承担。项目工作的传播将通过在地方和国家会议上的演讲、“教师最佳实践圈”、开发君主监测资源包和CD-ROM、在线资源和收费研究所等方式进行。
