Title: GK-12: EdGrid Graduate Teaching Fellows Program (Track 2)Institution: University of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignPrincipal Investigator/Co-Principal Investigators: Deanna Raineri (PI)/Bertram Bruce, EricJakobsson, Richard Braatz, Vernon Burton (Co-PIs)Number of Fellows per Year: 8 to 10 Graduate; 6 UndergraduateSchool District Partners: Champaign Centennial High School; Danville High School;Hinsdale, District 86; Technology Center of DuPage; Urbana High School, Home Hi (all girls)High School, Okaw Valley High School, Jefferson, Brownstown and Cerro Gordo ElementaryTarget Audience: Middle and High SchoolSetting: Rural, Urban and SuburbanNSF-Supported Disciplines Involved: Animal Science, Anthropology, Atmospheric Sciences,Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography, Mathematics, Physics, Social SciencesNarrative: The Fellows collaborate with campus faculty and participating K-12 teachers tointegrate computer-based modeling, scientific visualization and informatics in K-12 scienceand mathematics education. Modeling and visualization tools are developed that engagestudents and help them to "learn how to do science, learn the nature of science and learnscience content". The GK-12 EdGrid project provides professional development opportunitiesfor K-12 science and mathematics teachers to improve K-12 science teaching and learning.Intellectual Merit. The GK-12 EdGrid Program draws on significant higher educationinstitutional resources (both human and technology-related) in the STEM disciplines to create aframework for sustainable K-12 education outreach. These efforts contribute to advancingknowledge and understanding of the role of: a) higher education STEM discipline faculty and students in the professional development of K-12 teachers; b) STEM discipline faculty and students in improving learning of K-12 students through the engagement of innovative technologies that foster integration of research and education; c) educational collaboratories in K-12 settings; c) graduate students in building sustainable university-school partnerships; d) graduate students in promoting K-12 student interest in higher education STEM disciplines (by acting as role models); e) university-school partnerships in improving pedagogical practices in university education through the engagement of higher education faculty and graduate students with experienced K-12 teachers.Broader Impacts. The GK-12 project utilizes EdGrid's web portal, the Inquiry Page(http://www.inquiry.uiuc.edu), national conferences and various publications to disseminatethe GK-12 experiences, modeling and visualization tools and curriculum materials to supportteachers nation-wide. By partnering with other on-campus programs serving primarilyunderrepresented student groups, the GK-12 EdGrid program actively seeks and recruitsgraduates and advanced undergraduates from underrepresented populations. The GK-12 EdGrid program also broadens its already interdisciplinary focus by actively recruiting graduate studentsfrom the social sciences. The addition of social science disciplines allows for morecoverage of the K-12 curriculum and adds yet another varied vision that contributes to therichness of the UIUC GK-12 program. The GK-12 EdGrid program leaders are working with institutional and school administrators to make GK-12 activities an integral and sustainable part of the UIUC graduate training experience.Outcomes from Track 1. This project is receiving partial support from the Directorate for Biological Sciences.
