GK-12 Formal Proposal

该项目的目的是将来自UMCP的科学和工程专业的本科生和研究生作为地区初中和高中的教学研究员，以加强和扩大科学和数学课程。该项目的概念和教学重点是制定一个计划，其中研究员和教师共同努力，将学习实践融入课堂活动。研究员将来自化学、物理、材料科学与工程系。他们将与K-12教师合作加强课程，通过整合将课堂学习与课堂之外的科学和技术联系起来的计划，开发课堂动手，探究式活动，以补充课程内容。研究员还将作为教师和大学资源之间的联络人。通过培训和直接参与K-12学校，研究员将成为教育推广知识，并将反过来成为大学的资源。预计GK- 12研究员将发展他们的专业选择更广泛的意义，在科学和工程教育更坚实的基础，以及大学和社区之间的教育关系的意识。该奖项是由多学科活动办公室在数学和物理科学理事会共同支持。

The purpose of this project is to place undergraduate and graduate students from science and engineering at UMCP as teaching Fellows in area middle and high schools to enhance and extend the science and mathematics curriculum. The conceptual and pedagogical focus of this project is to develop a program in which Fellows and teachers work together to integrate learning practices into classroom based activities. The Fellows will be drawn from the departments of chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering. They will enhance the curriculum in collaboration with K-12 teachers to develop classroom hands-on, inquiry-based activities that will supplement the curriculum content, by integrating programs that connect classroom learning to science and technology beyond the classroom. The Fellows will also act as liaisons between teachers and university based resources. Through training and direct involvement in K-12schools, Fellows will become knowledgeable in education outreach, and will in turn become a resource to the University. It is expected that the GK- 12 Fellows will develop a broader sense of their professional options, a stronger grounding in science and engineering education, and a sense of the educational relationships between the university and the community.This award is co-supported by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
