GK-12 Teams of Interdisciplinary Graduate-Fellows Engaged to Reinvigorate Students (TIGERS) about SMET

西弗吉尼亚大学的SMET研究生通过西弗吉尼亚大学艺术与科学学院、工程与矿产资源学院以及人力资源与教育学院的项目，为中学教师提供内容和教学支持。作为TIGERS(致力于重振学生对SMET的认识的跨学科研究生-研究员团队)的一部分，围绕CATS(协调和主题科学)项目下的中学科学正常教学中的跨学科主题，组成了三个小组，每组四名研究生。老虎研究员和12名中学教师在暑期共同努力，汇集他们在内容和教学方面的优势，组织将于秋季实施的主题数学和科学教学。Tigers研究员分享他们从研究中获得的见解，而教师则分享对中学生和学校环境的欣赏。在学年期间，老虎研究员团队访问参与学校，通过实践学习经验、长期调查和实地经验促进科学和数学教学。在完成他们的经验后，老虎研究员将增强他们将其内容经验与教育学相结合的能力，因为他们将成为明天的教授和专业人员。

SMET graduate students at West Virginia University are providing content and instructional support to middle school teachers through a project involving West Virginia University Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Engineering & Mineral Resources, and Human Resources & Education. As a part of TIGERS (Teams of Interdisciplinary Graduate- Fellows Engaged to Reinvigorate Students about SMET), three teams of four graduate students are formed around interdisciplinary themes that are a part of normal instruction in middle school science under Project CATS (Coordinated and Thematic Science). TIGERS fellows and 12 middle school teachers work together during the summer to pool their strengths of content and pedagogy in organizing thematic mathematics and science instruction to be implemented in the fall. TIGERS fellows share the insights gained from their research, while teachers share an appreciation for the middle school learner and school context. During the academic year, the teams of TIGER fellows visit the participating schools, facilitating science and mathematics instruction through hands-on learning experiences, long-term investigations, and field experiences. Upon completion of their experience, TIGERS fellows have an enhanced capacity to integrate their content experience with pedagogy as they become the professoriate and professionals of tomorrow.
