Graduate Student Outreach to the Newark Public Schools

这项提案概述了一项计划，让罗格斯大学纽瓦克分校的研究生和纽瓦克公立学校、纽瓦克博物馆和儿童公司的高级本科生担任NSF讲师。拟议方案的概念重点在很大程度上属于知识转让和课程开发的专题标题。大学生将接受课程整合、以探究为中心、以建构主义为基础的教育活动的培训。拟议计划的优势在于，所有参与者，包括大学生、教师和在校学生，都将从这一经历中受益。要实现的好处是以下计划目标所固有的：o提高大学参与者的教学技能，从而激励和激发学生关于科学、数学和技术的知识，使学生接触到新的想法、资源和潜在的职业，并展示他们的学习经验与现实生活情景的相关性，从而促进学生对科学和数学的知识和理解，从而为教师提供机会与研究生和高级本科生合作，为他们的学生设计学习体验，并将新的想法、活动和资源纳入他们的课程，以提供教师学习的机会，并适应应用基于实践的探究式教学方法。

This proposal outlines a plan to involve Rutgers University-Newark graduate students and advancedundergraduates with the Newark Public Schools, Newark Museum, and Kids Corporation as NSF TeachingFellows. The conceptual focus of the proposed program falls largely under the thematic heading of knowledge transfer and curriculum development. The university students will be trained to delivereducational activities that are curriculumintegrated, inquiry-centered, and constructivist-based. The strength of the proposed program is that all participants, university students, teachers, and school students,will benefit from the experience. The benefits to be realized are inherent in the following program goals:o to enhance the teaching skills of the university participantso to motivate and excite students about science, mathematics, and technologyo to expose students to new ideas, resources, and potential careers and to demonstrate the relevance of their learning experiences to real life situationso to contribute to student knowledge and understanding of science and mathematicso to provide teachers an opportunity to collaborate with graduate students and advanced undergraduates indesigning learning experiences for their students and incorporate new ideas, activities, and resources into their curriculao to provide teachers opportunities to learn, and become comfortable applying, hands-on, inquiry-based approaches to teaching.
