These activities build upon an existing collaboration between 1998, Yale University's Peabody Museum of Natural History and the New Haven Public School (NHPS) District, the Peabody Teachers Program, a professional development program. Participating teachers produce inquiry-based science curricula that use Peabody Museum specimens in the mobile BioAction Lab for hands-on exploration of biological diversity and its impacts on human affairs. This draws on the expertise and materials resident in Yale's Peabody Museum, and provides stimulating subject matter upon which basic science competencies can be developed. The project proposed here is designed to build upon the already-existing strengths of the Peabody Teachers Program to enhance the professional development of middle school teachers and Yale graduate students, as well as to enrich the science-learning environment for New Haven middle school students. The Fellows work closely with participating teachers throughout the year to provide technical assistance as they develop curriculum units, in part to help ensure the scientific accuracy of the content. Working with the teachers and with children in their classrooms improves the science communication skills of the Graduate Fellows. Training and on-site supervision of the Graduate Fellows is provided by the PIs, by the staff of the program, and by the Yale Teacher Preparation Program. In addition, Master Peabody Teachers serve as mentors for pedagogical and classroom management techniques. All curriculum units designed in connection with this program are being incorporated into the middle school science curriculum and will also be disseminated broadly via the Peabody Museum's website. All aspects of the program are overseen by an Advisory Council and a Working Committee, including evaluations of the efficacy of the program. The broader impacts of the project affect a spectrum of beneficiaries. Participating teachers are increasing their scientific knowledge and developing new content-rich curricula. Their students (90% minority, 50% female, 75% on subsidized lunch programs) are benefiting from exposure to scientific subject matter and approaches of relevance to their daily lives, as well as to new role models. Yale graduate students are directly exposed to educational issues at the middle school level, and to the challenges of communicating the wonder of nature and the excitement and importance of science. This initiative strengthens Yale University's graduate programs and its commitment to providing resources for the enhancement of science education in the local school system.

这些活动建立在1998年耶鲁大学皮博迪自然历史博物馆和纽黑文公立学校(NHPS)区之间现有的合作基础上，皮博迪教师计划是一项专业发展计划。参与的教师制作以探究为基础的科学课程，使用移动生物行动实验室中的皮博迪博物馆标本，实践探索生物多样性及其对人类事务的影响。它借鉴了耶鲁皮博迪博物馆的专业知识和材料，并提供了激发人的主题，在此基础上可以发展基本的科学能力。在此提出的项目旨在加强皮博迪教师计划的现有优势，以促进中学教师和耶鲁大学研究生的专业发展，并丰富纽黑文中学生的科学学习环境。研究员们全年与参加课程的教师密切合作，在他们制定课程单元时提供技术援助，部分原因是为了帮助确保内容的科学准确性。在课堂上与老师和孩子们一起工作，可以提高研究生的科学交流技能。研究生的培训和现场监督由私人投资机构、项目工作人员和耶鲁教师准备项目提供。此外，皮博迪大师教师还担任教学和课堂管理技巧的导师。与该计划相关的所有课程单元都将被纳入中学科学课程，并将通过皮博迪博物馆的网站广泛传播。该方案的所有方面都由一个咨询委员会和一个工作委员会监督，包括对该方案的效果进行评估。该项目的更广泛影响影响到一系列受益者。参与的教师正在增加他们的科学知识，并开发内容丰富的新课程。他们的学生(90%是少数民族，50%是女性，75%参加补贴午餐计划)正受益于接触与他们日常生活相关的科学主题和方法，以及新的榜样。耶鲁大学的研究生直接接触到中学阶段的教育问题，以及交流自然奇观、科学的兴奋和重要性的挑战。这一倡议加强了耶鲁大学的研究生课程及其为加强当地学校系统的科学教育提供资源的承诺。标题：耶鲁大学生物多样性研究所研究生教学研究员：耶鲁大学，皮博迪自然历史博物馆学院合作伙伴：纽黑文公共部门PI：Michael J.Donoghue，Leonard E.MunstermannFellows/yr：4研究生1年级，6在2年级和3年级，2本科目标：中学(4-8年级)设置；城市学科：生物科学
