K-12 Teacher Development Program

美国社区学院协会(AACC)与独立学院理事会(CIC)和独立学院办公室(OIC)合作，正在进行一项为期三年的项目，以培养本科生对K-12数学和科学教学生涯的兴趣，同时支持K-12教师教授科学和数学。该项目调整了NSF GK-12计划的组成部分，以便在以本科为主的学院，包括社区学院实施。认识到全国对K-12学校在科学和数学方面的卓越需求，AACC、CIC和OIC及其基于社区的成员学院正在与当地社区的K-12学校发展伙伴关系。K-12教师发展(KTD)计划以科学、数学、工程和技术(SMET)大学生为特色，作为K-12课堂的内容资源和榜样。大学生通过分享知识和技能来获得与K-12学生的指导和课堂经验；K-12教师为他们的课堂获得内容资源。KTD计划改善了大学生对K-12教学作为职业的沟通和培养意识，为K-12教师提供课堂援助和课程充实，为大学教师提供机会帮助本科生实施特定学科的应用和教学策略，并为K-12学生提供丰富的SMET学习机会。该计划包括以下部分：1)提高大学生对K-12科学、数学、工程和技术教学的认识；2)由K-12、社区学院和四年制大学教师和学校组成的网络；3)AACC和CIC合作，为其成员学院提供全国助学金竞赛；4)鼓励学生参与K-12学校；5)指导关系；6)K-12和大学教师的职业发展机会；7)通过出版物、演讲和万维网进行传播；和8)计划评估

The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), in collaboration with the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and the Independent Colleges Office (OIC), is conducting a three-year project to develop interest in K-12 mathematics and science teaching careers among undergraduate students and concurrently support K-12 faculty teaching science and mathematics. This project adapts components of the NSF GK-12 program for implementation in predominately undergraduate colleges, including community colleges. Recognizing the national need for excellence in science and mathematics in K-12 schools, AACC, CIC, and OIC and their community-based member colleges are developing partnerships with K-12 schools in local communities. The K-12 Teacher Development (KTD) program features science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) college students as content resources and role models in K-12 classrooms. The college students gain mentoring and classroom experiences with K-12 students by sharing their knowledge and skills; the K-12 teachers gain content resources for their classrooms. The KTD program improves communication and fosters awareness of K-12 teaching as a career for college students, offers classroom assistance and curricular enrichment to K-12 teachers, provides opportunities for college faculty to help undergraduate students implement discipline-specific applications and pedagogical strategies, and provides enriched learning opportunities in SMET for K-12 students. The program includes the following components: 1) greater awareness by college students of K-12 instruction in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology; 2) a network of K-12, community college, and four-year college faculty and schools; 3) collaboration by AACC and CIC to offer a national grant competition for their member colleges; 4) incentives such as community service scholarships, stipends, mini-grants, or course credit to encourage student involvement in K-12 schools; 5) mentoring relationships; 6) professional development opportunities for K-12 and college faculty; 7) dissemination through publications, presentations, and the World Wide Web; and 8) program evaluation
