GK12: Partnerships Involving the Scientific Community in Elementary Schools (PISCES): Graduate Teaching Fellowships in K-12 Education

该项目与 PISCES 互动并对其进行扩展，PISCES 是一项基于地区、社区支持的 K-6 年级基础改进计划，覆盖阿拉斯加北极地区圣地亚哥县和墨西哥南下加利福尼亚州拉巴斯的 14 个地区。研究员和教师一起使用标准学区工具包（例如自由和开源软件）开发实践科学经验。 教育特色包括为研究员和合作教师举办的暑期和学年现场学院和研讨会，以及广泛使用圣地亚哥县教育办公室的教育技术资源。 GK-12 研究员受益于帮助他们培养良好沟通和教学技能的计划。参与的教师有机会在各种气候、生物和社会/科学条件下与环境研究项目进行互动，从而受益匪浅。

The project interacts with and expands PISCES, a district-based, community-supported elementary improvement program for grade K-6 in 14 districts in San Diego County, Arctic Alaska, and La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Fellows and teachers together develop hands on science experiences using standard school district kits (e.g. FOSS). Educational features include summer and school year on-site institutes and seminars for the fellows and cooperating teachers and extensive use of the San Diego County Office of Education's educational technology resources. GK-12 Fellows benefit from a program to help them develop good communication and teaching skills. Participating teachers benefit by having the opportunity to interact with environmental research projects in a wide variety of climatic, biotic and social/scientific conditions.
