The Fellows are familiarizing themselves with best-practices pedagogy as well as state and national standards for mathematics and science as they work with the local teachers to develop interdisciplinary mathematics and science materials for all classes at the K-8 level. These modules are consistent with state and national standards and try, as far as is possible, to incorporate the theme of the Mississippi River basin in order to provide continuity through the curriculum and help to bring home the impact of math and science on the student's lives; an example of the project's intellectual merit.. The Fellows work with six schools: Bramlett, Oxford, and Central Elementary schools and Oxford Middle School (City of Oxford Schools) and Lafayette Elementary and Middle Schools (Lafayette County Schools). There are two key/contact teachers (one math, one science) at each of the middle schools and one key/contact teacher at each of the elementary schools. The broader impacts of the activities reach a number of beneficiaries. The Fellows are developing: improved communication skills; an understanding of good pedagogy; and an ability to effectively use technology as a teaching / learning tool and to use inquiry-based teaching and learning tools. Participating teachers are increasing their understanding of STEM related subjects; are demonstrating an increased use of inquiry-based teaching and learning tools; and are gaining access to a variety of professional development opportunities (ASTM, NSTA and other conferences). In addition there is an increasingly strong relationship developing between the University of Mississippi STEM-related departments and local school systems.

研究员正在熟悉最佳实践教学法以及国家和国家数学和科学标准，因为他们与当地教师合作，为K-8级别的所有班级开发跨学科数学和科学材料。 这些模块符合州和国家标准，并尽可能地将密西西比河流域的主题纳入其中，以便通过课程提供连续性，并帮助将数学和科学对学生生活的影响带回家;这是该项目智力价值的一个例子。研究员与六所学校合作：布拉姆利特，牛津，中央小学和牛津中学（牛津市学校）和拉斐特小学和中学（拉斐特县学校）。每所中学有两名骨干/联系教师（一名数学教师，一名科学教师），每所小学有一名骨干/联系教师。 这些活动的广泛影响惠及许多受益者。 研究员们正在开发：提高沟通技巧;对良好教学法的理解;以及有效使用技术作为教学/学习工具和使用基于探究的教学工具的能力。 参与的教师正在增加他们对STEM相关科目的理解;正在展示基于探究的教学和学习工具的使用增加;并且正在获得各种专业发展机会（ASTM，NSTA和其他会议）。 此外，密西西比大学STEM相关部门与当地学校系统之间的关系日益密切。 该项目的部分支持来自数学和物理科学理事会标题： 北密西西比GK-8项目单位： 密西西比大学PI/Co-PI： John O 'Haver/ Maurice Eftink，Cliff Ochs，大卫洛克合作学区：拉斐特县，牛津资助：$1，499.832研究员人数/年：12毕业生目标受众 K-8 NSF支持的学科：数学，化学，地质学，生物学，物理学，工程学，计算机科学，经济学
