Science Education Resources and Equipment Library

我提议发起一项贷款计划，与蒙特利湾地区的在职教师和学校共享科学资源和设备。K-12教师非常需要获得科学设备，并在教学中使用科学设备方面得到支持。加州大学圣克鲁斯分校（UCSC）通过其外联部门教育合作中心（EPC）和自然科学部，在增加地区学校使用自己的科学设备方面处于有利地位。我的科学、数学、工程和技术教育（PFSMETE）博士后研究项目包括为K-12学生购置一套基本的科学设备，用于各种环境监测。我提出的贷款项目将使用这些现有的设备，为我在博士后研究期间与我一起从事环境监测项目的教师提供后续支持。它还将作为一个更大的大学设备共享项目的种子项目。

I propose to initiate a lending program to share science resources and equipment withpre-service and in-service teachers and schools in the Monterey Bay region. K-12 teachershave a great need for access to scientific equipment and for support in using scientificequipment in their teaching. The University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) is wellpositioned to increase the access of regional schools to its own scientific equipmentthrough its outreach wing, the Educational Partnership Center (EPC), and its Division ofNatural Sciences. My Post-doctoral Fellowship in Science, Math, Engineering, andTechnology Education (PFSMETE) involved the acquisition of a basic set of scientificequipment useful for various kinds of environmental monitoring by K-12 students. Thelending program I propose would use this existing equipment to provide follow-up supportfor teachers with whom I worked on environmental monitoring projects during mypost-doctoral fellowship. It would also serve as a seed project for a largeruniversity-based equipment-sharing programs.
