GK-12: The Syracuse University/Onondaga County Schools Partnership for Improvement of Science Education Proposal

该项目是：在学区和锡拉丘兹大学之间建立互利的平行教育伙伴关系;通过研究生教学研究员日常参与学校系统，利用锡拉丘兹大学在STEM教学法，教育技术整合和评估方面的研究和实践产生的专业知识;开发创新的、面向过程的、基于标准的、实践STEM课程单元和资源，利用当地环境问题，将生物学、化学、地球科学、物理学和技术中的基本STEM概念教学联系起来;通过印刷材料和网络传播新的STEM教学资源，并通过科学教师专业发展研讨会，增强K-12教师的内容知识;并建立内容丰富，研讯─通过STEM研究生和科学教师之间的互利合作，长期合作模式和可复制的国家模式。 更广泛的影响来自锡拉丘兹大学和奥农达加县18个学区之间的伙伴关系和合作。其中两个学区，锡拉丘兹市和拉斐特，是该项目的课堂地点，并作为项目中心，分享和传播倡议和当地环境实验结合科学与技术。研究员接受STEM教学法和K-12科学教育的广泛培训。正在为适当的年级编制材料和资源。基于STEM活动的单元强调科学过程，探究和批判性思维技能。此外，STEM研究员还为地区科学教师提供内容丰富的培训课程。项目名称：锡拉丘兹大学奥南达加县学校合作改善科学教育机构：锡拉丘兹大学PI/Co-PI：Marvin Druger，Samuel Clemence，Tiffany Koszalka，Peter Plumley合作学区：锡拉丘兹市，拉斐特资金：1，486，402研究员人数/年：10毕业生设置： 目标受众：8- 12 NSF支持的学科涉及：生物学，化学，地球科学，数学，计算机科学，物理学，工程学

The project is: establishing a mutually beneficial parallel educational partnership between school districts and Syracuse University; leveraging Syracuse University research- and practice-generated expertise in STEM pedagogy, educational technology integration, and assessment through Graduate Teaching Fellows daily participation in the school system; developing innovative, process-oriented, standards-based, hands-on STEM curriculum units and resources that use local environmental issues to connect teaching basic STEM concepts in biology, chemistry, earth sciences, physics, and technology; enhancing K-12 teachers' content knowledge through dissemination of new STEM teaching resources through print materials and the Web and through professional development workshops for science teachers; and establishing content-rich, inquiry-based benchmark programs in schools through mutually beneficial collaborations between STEM graduate students and science teachers as a forerunner for a permanent collaboration model and replicable national model. The broader impact grows from the partnership and collaboration between Syracuse University and 18 Onondaga County school districts. Two of these school districts, Syracuse City and LaFayette, are classroom sites for the project and serve as project centers that share and disseminate initiatives and local environmental experiments integrating science with technology. Fellows receive extensive training in STEM pedagogy and K-12 science education. Materials and resources are being developed for appropriate grade levels. STEM activity-based units emphasize science process, inquiry and critical thinking skills. In addition, STEM Fellows are providing content-rich training sessions for area science teachers.Project title: The Syracuse University Onandaga County Schools Partnership for Improvement of Science EducationInstitution: Syracuse UniversityPI/Co-PI: Marvin Druger, Samuel Clemence, Tiffany Koszalka, Peter PlumleyPartner School Districts: Syracuse City, LaFayetteFunding: $ 1,486,402Number of fellows/year: 10 graduateSetting: Urban RuralTarget audience: 8-12NSF supported disciplines involved: Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering
