The Virginia Center for Urban Education at Old Dominion University: Engineering Graduate Fellows and Master Teachers for Grades 4 - 5

老道明大学(ODU)与诺福克公立学校、朴茨茅斯市公立学校和弗吉尼亚空间赠款联盟合作，寻求加强数学和科学教师的现有资源，并为研究生提供与这两个城市学区的教师合作的机会。该计划将允许ODU将工程学院的研究生安排到4年级和5年级教室，以支持特别指定的硕士教师。该计划将通过ODU教育学院、城市教育中心、专业发展学校(PDS)计划整合，该计划通过审查和修订课程：利用共享的专业知识、共同教学经验，以及通过与教育界同行分享见解，促进对研究问题的联合调查。教学研究员和硕士教师将在这种氛围中通过四个专业发展研讨会进行合作，这些研讨会旨在讨论科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教育中的应用数学、问题解决、性别平等和基于探究的教学。以探究和团队合作为重点的动手课堂活动将把乐高控制实验室作为将现代技术元素引入课堂的工具。该项目得到了工程局的部分支持。

Old Dominion University (ODU) in collaboration with Norfolk Public Schools, Portsmouth City Public Schools and the Virginia Space Grant Consortium, seek to enhance existing resources for mathematics and science teachers and provide opportunities for graduate students to work with teachers from these two urban school districts. The program will allow ODU to place graduate students from the College of Engineering into 4th and 5th grade classrooms to support specially designated Master Teachers. The program will be integrated through the ODU College of Education, Center for Urban Education, Professional Development Schools (PDS) program which fosters joint inquiry into research problems by reviewing and revising curricula: drawing on shared expertise, co-teaching experiences; and through sharing insights with colleagues in the educational community. Teaching Fellows and Master Teachers will collaborate in this atmosphere through four professional development seminars designed to address applied mathematics, problem-solving, gender equity and inquiry based instruction in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Hands on classroom activities, focused on inquiry and teamwork, will incorporate the Lego Control Laboratory as the tool to introduce elements of modern technology into the classroom. This project is receiving partial support from the Directorate for Engineering.
