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

该项目与PISCES互动并扩大了PISCES，这是一个以地区为基础的社区支持的小学6年级改进方案，在圣地亚哥县、北极阿拉斯加和拉巴斯、南下加利福尼亚、墨西哥的14个地区实施。研究员和教师一起使用标准的学区工具包（例如FOSS）开发实际的科学经验。 教育特色包括为研究员和合作教师举办夏季和学年现场研究所和研讨会，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研究员受益于一个计划，以帮助他们发展良好的沟通和教学技能。参与教师受益于有机会在各种气候，生物和社会/科学条件下与环境研究项目互动。

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.
