This program will train and support graduate students in science and mathematics to provide resources for middle and high school students and teachers. Fellows will participate in workshops that focus on interdisciplinary science and math curriculum and effective teaching. University faculty and K-12 teachers will provide a background in inquiry-based techniques and activities, emphasizing national and state learning standards. Fellows and teachers will form school-based teams that will formally assess the science, mathematics, and technology needs at each site. They will collaborate to compile and present curriculum enhancement mini-units, emphasizing inquiry-based activities. The fellows will also adapt the computer technology available at school sites to the needs ofspecific classrooms. Fellows will provide science resources for students through e-mail communication, an 'Ask-a-Scientist' network, Saturday Science workshops, and collaboration with the Children's Discovery Museum of Central Illinois. University faculty, fellows, and staff members of the Center for Mathematics and Science Education will plan and present professional development programs for classroom teachers. The project will address issues of scientific literacy, equity, and attitudes toward science and math among middle and high school students. It will integrate research and teaching, as well as enhance teachingand curriculum selection/development skills for all participants through collaboration.

该计划将培训和支持科学和数学研究生，为初高中学生和教师提供资源。奖学金获得者将参加以跨学科科学和数学课程以及有效教学为重点的讲习班。大学教师和K-12教师将提供基于探究的技术和活动的背景，强调国家和州的学习标准。研究员和教师将组成以学校为基础的小组，正式评估每个地点的科学、数学和技术需求。他们将合作编写和提供课程强化迷你单元，强调以探究为基础的活动。研究员们还将根据特定教室的需要，调整学校现有的计算机技术。研究员将通过电子邮件交流、“问科学家”网络、周六科学研讨会以及与伊利诺斯州中部儿童发现博物馆的合作，为学生提供科学资源。数学和科学教育中心的大学教师、研究员和工作人员将为课堂教师规划和提出专业发展计划。该项目将解决初高中学生的科学素养、公平以及对科学和数学的态度等问题。它将整合研究和教学，并通过合作提高所有参与者的教学和课程选择/开发技能。
