The Track 1, GK-12 Teaching Assistants Sharing Knowledge (TASK) in Alaska is a multidisciplinary program developed by the STEM departments within the University of Alaska Fairbanks with the enthusiastic support of the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, Denali Borough School District, and the Lower Kuskowkim School District. The project builds on the solid foundation of the Partners in Science, GLOBE, and OLCG programs to meet the needs of Alaskan K-12 students in science and mathematics and targets schools with high Alaskan Native populations. The project uses the best practices models to prepare Fellows for the classroom and place them with Master K-12 teachers. The goals of the project are to bring current technology, tools, and knowledge to students in K-12 classrooms to meet the Alaska State Standards; contribute to the knowledge base of K-12 teachers; and to enhance the teaching and communication skills of graduate our Fellows so that their academic careers are measurably enhanced by this experience. Fellows are assigned to one school for one or two semesters to develop rapport with students and staff. The project uses an experienced program coordinator to help manage this program, and an enthusiastic team of UAF faculty mentors and K-12 teachers to enrich the experience.Intellectual Merit. The project applies the best practices in teacher preparation and mentoring to those schools in the Fairbanks area that are most likely to be in trouble with NCLB standards. The Fellows will deepen their content knowledge through being forced to explain concepts in simple ways, and by using analogies that are developmentally appropriate. Mentoring of teachers has been shown to be very effective in retention. Broader Impacts . The best practices used will insure that K-12 students will receive the very best of hands-on science, mathematics and technology education. The project employs numerous minority (especially Alaska Native) and women scientists and mathematicians, who will serve as excellent role models for K-12 students. By establishing a university course to prepare the students to interact in meaningful ways with K-12 students, the project will develop the needed infrastructure to continue this program. The project will disseminate the results through presentations at the AAAS Arctic Division meetings, local and national conferences, journals, and through the website. As a benefit to the general public, a collaborative learning community will continue to grow; one that spans K through gray, with K-12 schools, institutions of higher learning, Alaska Native elders, practicing professionals, and community members all involvedin STEM education.

Track 1，阿拉斯加的GK-12助教分享知识（TASK）是由阿拉斯加费尔班克斯大学的STEM部门开发的一个多学科项目，得到了费尔班克斯北星区学区、德纳里区学区和下库斯科夫金学区的热情支持。该项目建立在科学合作伙伴、GLOBE和OLCG项目的坚实基础上，以满足阿拉斯加K-12学生在科学和数学方面的需求，并以阿拉斯加土著人口较多的学校为目标。该项目采用最佳实践模式，帮助学员为课堂做好准备，并安排他们与K-12硕士教师一起学习。该项目的目标是将当前的技术、工具和知识带给K-12教室的学生，以达到阿拉斯加州标准；为K-12教师提供知识基础；并提高毕业生的教学和沟通技巧，使他们的学术生涯在这段经历中得到显著的提升。研究员被分配到一所学校一到两个学期，以发展与学生和工作人员的关系。该项目使用经验丰富的项目协调员来帮助管理该项目，并由UAF教师导师和K-12教师组成的热情团队来丰富经验。知识价值。该项目将教师准备和指导方面的最佳实践应用于费尔班克斯地区最有可能因NCLB标准而陷入困境的学校。学员将被迫以简单的方式解释概念，并通过使用适合发展的类比来加深他们的内容知识。对教师的指导已被证明在留住学生方面非常有效。更广泛的影响所采用的最佳实践将确保K-12学生将获得最好的动手科学，数学和技术教育。该项目雇用了许多少数民族（特别是阿拉斯加原住民）和女性科学家和数学家，他们将成为K-12学生的优秀榜样。通过建立一门大学课程，让学生们以有意义的方式与K-12学生互动，该项目将开发必要的基础设施来继续这个项目。该项目将通过在美国科学促进会北极分部会议、地方和国家会议、期刊和网站上的报告来传播结果。为了造福大众，协作学习社区将继续发展；它涵盖了从幼儿园到灰色地带，包括K-12学校、高等教育机构、阿拉斯加原住民长老、执业专业人士和社区成员，他们都参与了STEM教育。
