GK-12 Formal Proposal - Integrating New Media Technologies into Teacher Development

通过工程和教育研究生研究员的独特合作，哥伦比亚大学工程与应用科学学院、师范学院、巴纳德学院和纽约市学区将创建一种全面的教师招聘和教育模式，这是一种与传统的职前和在职教师培训计划显著不同的模式。这一计划的长期目标是创建一种可持续的教师培训模式，显著地将技术能力强的教师注入城市学校系统。拟议的奖学金项目的主要目标是发展一种独特的职前和在职教学模式，该模式具有以下计划要素：o创建一个创新的跨学科教育计划，将新的教育技术无缝地整合到他们的课程中，并利用大量精通技术的本科生和研究生工程、科学、数学和教育学学生；O哥伦比亚大学傅基工程和应用科学学院、巴纳德学院和师范学院与哈莱姆区的社区学区和高中合作，分享机构资源、经验和专门知识；o组织平行的大学和中学技术环境，以在学术和现实学校环境中培训教师；o开发和组织科学和数学课程模块，使其能够充分利用计算机技术和互联网，通过自我指导学习和小组项目应用促进学习；以及展示和评估技术集成学习环境对中学生科学和数学知识和技能的影响。该项目的概念是建立所需的基础设施和正式机制，以发展工程、科学和数学研究生和本科生的技术和教学技能，为他们在城市中学系统的职业生涯做准备。作为合作伙伴，工程和教育研究生将负责在哥伦比亚大学和第五学区创建教育技术实验室，开发支持中学生学习科学和数学的技术强化课程模块，直接指导中学生，并在大三期间监督本科教学学生以技术为重点的实地体验。在整个项目中，研究员将参加一系列特别研讨会和指导经验，以支持他们的教学知识和技能的发展。

Through the unique partnering of Engineering and Education Graduate Fellows, Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, Teachers College, Barnard College, and New York City School Districts will create a comprehensive model of teacher recruitment and education that is asignificant departure from traditional pre-service and in-service teacher training programs. The long-term objective of this program is to create a sustainable teacher-training model that significantly infuses technology- competent teachers into urban school systems.The proposed fellowship project has as its major goal to develop a unique pre-service and in-service teaching model that has the following program elements:o the creation of an innovative, interdisciplinary education program that seamlessly integrates new educational technologies into their curriculum and capitalizes on a large pool of technology-savvy undergraduate and graduate engineering, science, math, and education students;o the collaboration of Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), Barnard College, and Teachers College (TC) with Community School Districts and High Schools in Harlem to share institutional resources, experience and expertise;o the organization of parallel college and secondary school technology environments for the training of teachers in academic and real world school settings;o the development and organization of curriculum modules in the sciences and mathematics that enable the full use of computer technology and the Internet to foster learning through self-directed study and group project applications; ando the demonstration and assessment of the impact a technology-integrated learning environment has on secondary students' science and math knowledge and skills.The project's concept is to build the infrastructure and formal mechanisms required to develop the technology and pedagogical skills of graduate and undergraduate engineering, science, and math students to prepare them for careers in urban secondary schools systems. Engineering and Education Graduate Fellows, as partners, will be responsible for the creation of educational technology laboratories located at Columbia and School District #5, the development of technology-enhanced curriculum modules in support of secondary school student learning in science and math, direct mentoring of secondary school students, and the supervision of undergraduate teaching students during a junior year technology-focused field experience. Throughout the project, the fellows will participate in a series of special workshops and mentoring experiences to support the development of their teaching knowledge and skills.
