Teachers And Scientists Collaborating

这一有针对性的数学和科学合作伙伴关系包括杜克大学普拉特工程学院、四个学区（阿拉曼斯/伯灵顿学校、橙子县学校、伊雷德尔/斯泰茨维尔学校、哈内特县学校）、北卡罗来纳州公共教育部和北卡罗来纳州科学、数学和技术教育中心。 专注于K-8科学教育，教师和科学家合作（TASC）提供课程单元从一系列基于探究的课程，在职专业发展，并从杜克大学科学家的支持。 目标包括建立一支科学家队伍，他们在符合州/国家标准的科学内容方面为教师提供持续的帮助，建立一个专业发展系统，使教师能够使用基于探究的教学模块并从科学家资源中受益，创建一个面向教师的基于探究的模块的收费借阅图书馆，并使科学教育支持制度化。 TASC旨在缩小成绩差距，提高年级末的科学和数学成绩，并通过增加内容知识，使用基于探究的教学技术以及让科学家参与协助教师实施科学标准来提高参与学校系统的科学教学质量。该项目预计将为7 560名教师和352 800名学生提供服务。

This targeted Math and Science Partnership includes the Duke University Pratt School of Engineering, four school districts (Alamance/Burlington Schools, Orange County Schools, Iredell/Statesville Schools, Harnett County Schools), the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, and the North Carolina Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education Center. Focusing on K-8 science education, Teachers and Scientists Collaborating (TASC) is providing curriculum units selected from an array of inquiry-based curricula, inservice professional development, and support from Duke University scientists. Objectives include establishing a cadre of scientists who provide ongoing teacher assistance in science content that is aligned with state/national standards, instituting a professional development system to prepare teachers to use inquiry-based instructional modules and to benefit from scientist resources, creating a fee-based lending library of inquiry-based modules available to teachers, and institutionalizing science education support. TASC seeks to narrow achievement gaps, improve end-of grade science and mathematics scores, and to improve the quality of science teaching in participating school systems by increasing content knowledge, the use of inquiry-based teaching techniques, and the engagement of scientists in assisting teachers in implementing science standards. The project is expected to serve 7,560 teachers and 352,800 students.
