NSF GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS IN K-12 EDUCATION (GK-12): Preparing Science Graduate Students to Meet the Challenges of K-12 Education

佛罗里达州立大学和莱昂县学区的这个项目的目标是增加科学专业人员的数量，他们准备好并愿意为K-8年级的科学和数学活动做出有意义的贡献。研究生参与广泛的学习，使他们成为K-12教师和学生的宝贵课堂资源。学习主题包括儿童发展概述、评估技术、州和国家科学标准，以及学生如何学习。在此准备之后，研究员将与选定的K-8教师共同教学。奖学金获得者也会参加地区暑期学校充实班和暑期科学营活动。该项目得到数学和物理科学理事会的部分支持

This goal of this program by Florida State University and the Leon County School District is to increase the number of science professionals who are prepared and willing to make meaningful contributions to science and mathematics activities in grades K-8. Graduate fellows engage in extensive learning to prepare them to become valuable classroom resources for K-12 teachers and students. Topics of study include an overview of child development, assessment techniques, state and national science standards, and how students learn. Following this preparation, Fellows will co-teach with selected K-8 teachers. Fellows also participate in district summer school enrichment classes and summer science camp activities. This project is receiving partial support from the Directorate for Mathematics and Physical Sciences
