This GK-12 project is a collaborative effort by Vanderbilt University, Meharry Medical College, and the Davidson County Metropolitan School District to enhance 7-12th grade science and technology education through the use of teaching fellows as resource persons for teachers. Teacher-mentors who are recognized as expert teachers by their peers and supervisors are participants in this program. Twelve graduate and two advanced undergraduate teaching fellows from Vanderbilt and Meharry are participating in the project each year. Faculty members from graduate programs in chemistry, physics, biological sciences (eight departments), chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, and environmental engineering are serving as mentors. The teaching fellows are assisting the teachers in the implementation of an integrated 7-12th grade science curriculum, as well as helping teachers to match the local core curriculum with national and state science standards. The main objectives for 7-12th grade students are to increase inquiry-based activities, enhance science literacy, develop positive attitudes about science, provide individual attention for students through tutoring and mentoring, and provide role models for students. The objectives for teachers are to increase science content knowledge and the use of computer technology, and enhance communication links between teachers and the learning community. Goals for teaching fellows include learning how to transform their science knowledge into an appropriate form for understanding by students and teachers (and the general public), and developing an appreciation for the professionalism of teachers.

这个GK-12项目是由范德比尔特大学、梅哈里医学院和戴维森县大都会学区共同努力的，目的是通过使用教学研究员作为教师的资源人员来加强7- 12年级的科学和技术教育。 被同行和主管认可为专家教师的教师导师是该计划的参与者。来自范德比尔特和梅哈里的12名研究生和2名高级本科教学研究员每年参加该项目。来自化学、物理、生物科学（八个部门）、化学工程、生物医学工程和环境工程研究生课程的教师担任导师。 教学研究员正在协助教师实施7- 12年级综合科学课程，并帮助教师将当地核心课程与国家和州科学标准相匹配。7- 12年级学生的主要目标是增加探究活动，提高科学素养，培养对科学的积极态度，通过辅导和指导为学生提供个人关注，并为学生提供榜样。教师的目标是增加科学内容的知识和使用计算机技术，并加强教师和学习社区之间的沟通联系。 教学研究员的目标包括学习如何将他们的科学知识转化为学生和教师（以及公众）理解的适当形式，并对教师的专业精神表示赞赏。
