Track I: GK-12 Fellows in Science and Mathematics for East Alabama Schools

该提案描述了奥本大学与李县和梅肯县学区在科学和数学合作伙伴关系中开发的轨道1项目。 东阿拉巴马州项目学校科学和数学GK-12研究员的重点是将来自奥本和塔斯基吉大学的研究生研究员安置在9- 12年级的科学和数学教室，作为资源人员，协助教师进行教学。在GK-12教师的监督下，研究员将协助实验室，开发课程模块，设计活动，提供演示，与学生一对一合作，向学生解释概念，并参加课后丰富活动。研究员将被要求在进入教室之前的夏季学习教育学课程。GK-12教师将在夏季参加为期两周的专业发展研讨会。将定期进行形成性和总结性评估，以评估项目的成效。该项目有三个主要目标。 第一个目标是增加学生的学习，动机，信心，成就，并在9- 12年级的科学和数学课程的招生。 第二个目标是提高教师的知识和技能。 第三个目标是增加学习教学和学习过程的科学和数学专业学生的数量。

This proposal describes a Track 1 project developed by Auburn University in science and mathematics partnerships with the Lee and Macon county school districts. The focus of the GK-12 Fellows in Science and Mathematics for Schools in East-Alabama Project is to place Graduate Fellows from Auburn and Tuskegee Universities in 9-12th grade science and mathematics classrooms to serve as resource persons and assist teachers with instruction. Under the supervision of GK-12 Teachers, the Fellows will assist in laboratories, develop curriculum modules, design activities, provide demos, work one on-one with students, explain concepts to students, and participate in after school enrichment activities. The Fellows will be required to take a course in pedagogy the summer prior to entering the classroom. GK-12 Teachers will attend a two-week professional development workshop over the summer. Both formative and summative evaluation will be conducted periodically to assess the effectiveness of the project. The project has three main goals. The first goal is to increase student learning, motivation, confidence, achievement, and enrollment in science and mathematics courses in 9-12th grades. The second goal is to increase teacher content knowledge and skills. The third goal is to increase the number of science and mathematics majors that learn about teaching and the learning process.
