Through this three-year project, twenty six Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, and Biology graduate students and twelve advanced undergraduates from the University of Kansas (KU) are participating in a Teaching Fellows program focusing on the Kansas City Kansas (KCK) Public School District. The Fellows provide in-service and in-class support for middle and high school science and mathematics teachers on three levels: 1) technology training and knowledge transfer for a new generation of teachers implementing inquiry- and problem-based curricula, 2) assistance for teachers and student teams who are implementing standards-based curricula, and 3) curriculum enhancement and knowledge transfer in support of research- and problem-based curriculum units for mathematics, life science, and physical science classes. Fellows work directly with teachers in planning and training sessions to prepare content support and increase technology expertise for KCK District teachers. Each Fellow attends a one-week pre-assignment training workshop and a university-level course covering best practices in K-12 teaching, multicultural education, and cognitive skill development. This project is helping the KCK Schools implement a new advanced science graduation requirement and accomplish a long-term District goal, instituted under an NSF-funded TEAMs project, to improve mathematics and science instruction. This project is assisting KU by building collaborations with teachers in the KCK public schools and by establishing a mechanism for attracting students from underrepresented and disadvantaged groups into mathematics, science, and engineering majors. Teaching Fellows will graduate from KU with an unusually deep understanding of science and mathematics pedagogy, K-12 teaching, and multicultural education.

通过这个为期三年的项目，二十六个数学，物理，化学，工程和生物学研究生和十二个先进的本科生从堪萨斯大学（KU）正在参加一个教学研究员计划的重点是堪萨斯城堪萨斯（KCK）公立学区。研究员提供在职和课堂上的支持，初中和高中科学和数学教师在三个层面：1）为新一代教师提供技术培训和知识转让，以实施基于探究和问题的课程，2）为实施基于标准的课程的教师和学生团队提供援助，以及3）课程优化和知识转移，以支持数学、生命科学和物理科学课程的研究和问题为本的课程单元。研究员直接与教师一起规划和培训课程，为KCK地区教师准备内容支持和增加技术专业知识。每位研究员参加为期一周的任务前培训研讨会和大学课程，涵盖K-12教学，多元文化教育和认知技能发展的最佳实践。该项目正在帮助KCK学校实施一项新的高级科学毕业要求，并完成一项长期的地区目标，该目标是根据NSF资助的TEAMs项目制定的，以改善数学和科学教学。该项目通过与KCK公立学校的教师建立合作关系，并通过建立一种机制，吸引来自代表性不足和弱势群体的学生进入数学，科学和工程专业，来帮助KU。教学研究员将从KU毕业，对科学和数学教育学，K-12教学和多元文化教育有着不同寻常的深刻理解。
