Georgia Tech Student and Teacher Enhancement Partnership (STEP) Program

佐治亚理工学院的学生和教师增强伙伴关系（STEP）项目将来自科学、工程和计算机学院的研究生与亚特兰大地区的高中SMET团队合作，该团队由硕士科学或数学教师协调员领导。该项目旨在提高佐治亚理工学院研究生与教学相关的沟通和领导能力，并利用佐治亚理工学院卓越的学术专长来帮助提高亚特兰大地区学生的数学和科学成绩。STEP研究员将参加夏季培训讲习班，使他们熟悉基于探究的学习教学法、课堂管理和有效的教学技巧以及适当使用教育技术。他们还将与高中人员合作，为学校制定需求评估和行动计划。在学年期间，他们将与合作学校结对工作，从一系列选项中选择活动，包括：1)学生指导，2)教师专业发展，3)学生丰富和指导，4)课堂网站的实施，5)科学博览会项目援助，以及6)佐治亚理工学院实验室参观。该项目将通过竞争性申请，向佐治亚理工学院工程、科学和计算机学院的近3000名研究生开放。

The Georgia Tech Student and Teacher Enhancement Partnership (STEP) Programpartners Graduate Fellows from the Colleges of Sciences, Engineering and Computing with metro-Atlanta area high school SMET teams that are led by master science or mathematics teacher-coordinators. The program seeks to improve the teaching-related communication, and leadership skills of Georgia Tech graduate students, and to use the exceptional scholarly expertise available at Georgia Tech to assist in increasing the mathematics and science performance of Atlanta-area school students. STEP Fellows will participate in summer training workshops to familiarize them with inquiry-based learning pedagogy, classroom management and effective teaching skills, and appropriate uses of educational technologies. They will also work with high school personnel to develop a needs assessment and action plan for the school. During the school year they will work in pairs with their partner school, choosing activities from a menu of options that includes: 1) Student instruction, 2) Teacher professional development, 3) Student enrichment and mentoring, 4) Implementation of classroom websites, 5) Science fair project assistance, and 6) Georgia Tech lab tours. The program will be open, by competitive application, to all of the nearly 3,000 graduate students in the Georgia Tech Colleges of Engineering, Sciences, and Computing.
