GK-12 Science and Mathematics Inquiry in Los Angeles Urban Schools

该项目将新教师与研究员配对，并将研究员与学科导师配对。在整个暑假和学年，他们在加州大学洛杉矶分校一起学习解决教学问题的课程，并在我们的合作学校的教室里实施所开发的数学和科学活动。作为该项目智力价值的一部分，GK-12研究员获得了设计和测试课程材料的第一手经验；GK-12教师在与研究员合作时完善了他们的课程知识；高中和中学生获得了对数学和科学的丰富理解，并有机会与科学和数学职业中的榜样互动。这对参与其中的研究员、教师和学生都有广泛的影响。这些研究员大多打算从事高等教育事业，他们正在获得有用的教学技能和教学知识，并正在发展能力，以帮助他们专业地参与解决所有城市学校面临的社会问题。在该项目的三年期间，超过120-150名一年级数学和科学教师将受益，他们在洛杉矶表现最差的学校总共教了50,000多名学生。在该项目的三年期间，正在调整或开发200多项符合标准的、以探究为基础的数学和科学活动，以满足这些学生的需要，然后进行实地测试。这一带有注释教学笔记的编辑材料资源在项目过程中出版，并通过加州大学洛杉矶分校的网站(http://www.la.ucla.edu))以电子方式分发，这是该大学为整个洛杉矶社区创建的门户网站。对该项目的部分支持来自数学和物理科学局。项目标题：洛杉矶城市学校的科学和数学研究机构：加州大学洛杉矶分校PI/Co-PI：Arlene Russell，Frederick Freking，Theodore Gamelin合作伙伴学区：贝尔蒙特-林肯-威尔逊社区(LA DST F)，森特内拉山谷高中基金：3年总计1,418,032美元/年研究员数量：10名毕业生，4名本科生设置：城市目标受众：初中-高中NSF支持的学科涉及：科学和数学

The project pairs new teachers with Fellows and Fellows with discipline mentors. Throughout a summer and academic year they work together at UCLA in courses to address pedagogical issues and at our partner schools in the classrooms to implement the mathematics and science activities developed. As part of the intellectual merits of this project, the GK-12 Fellows gain first-hand experience in designing and testing curricular materials; GK-12 teachers refine their content knowledge as they collaborate with Fellows; and the high school and middle school students gain an enriched understanding of mathematics and science as well as an opportunity to interact with role models for careers in science and mathematics. There are broad impacts for the Fellows, teachers and students involved. The fellows, most of whom intend to pursue careers in higher education, are gaining useful teaching skills and pedagogical knowledge as well as developing abilities that will help them engage professionally in addressing the social issues that confront all urban schools. During the three years of the project benefits will accrue to over 120-150 first-year mathematics and science teachers who teach a total of over 50,000 students in the most poorly performing schools in Los Angeles. Over 200 standards-aligned, inquiry-based mathematics and science activities that meet the needs of these students are being adapted or developed and then field-tested during the three years of this project. This resource of edited materials with annotated teaching notes is being published during the course of the project and distributed electronically through the UCLA in LA web site (http://www.la.ucla.edu) a portal created by the University for the entire Los Angeles community. Part of the support for this project comes from the Directorate for Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
