Discovery Corps Senior Fellowship: A Federal - State Partnership for Teacher Research Experiences In California

劳伦斯·利弗莫尔国家实验室的劳拉·吉利奥姆是2006-2007学年探索兵团的高级研究员。Gilliom计划与加州大学的一个项目“California Teach”合作，这是一个大型的全州科学教学计划，为早期职业教师定义一个研究跟踪专业发展选项。她亦计划在07暑期为约80名幼稚园至12年级教师协调“教师研究经验”赞助商(RET资金来自多个其他来源)，并发展RET的量度及评估策略，以改善教师的专业发展、留任及课堂成效。这项发现团高级研究金由化学司和多学科活动办公室提供支持。探索军团奖学金计划是一个试点计划，寻求将研究专业知识与专业服务相结合的新的博士后和专业发展模式。探索兵团研究员通过解决国家需求领域的项目来利用他们的研究专长。他们的项目增强了研究能力和基础设施，并有助于劳动力发展和创造就业机会。探索团队计划同时支持博士后研究员和高级研究员。

Laura Gilliom, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is a Discovery Corps Senior Fellow for the 2006-2007 academic year. Gilliom plans to partner with a University of California project, "California Teach", a large state-wide science teaching initiative, to define a research-track professional development option for early career teachers. She also plans to coordinate "Research Experience for Teachers" sponsors for about 80 K-12 teachers in Summer 07 (RET funding from a variety of other sources), and to develop metrics and evaluation strategies for RET to improve the teachers' professional development, retention, and classroom effectiveness. This Discovery Corps Senior Fellowship is supported by the Division of Chemistry and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program is a pilot program seeking new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research expertise with professional service. Discovery Corps Fellows leverage their research expertise through projects that address areas of national need. Their projects enhance research capacity and infrastructure and contribute to workforce development and job creation. The Discovery Corps Program supports both Postdoctoral Fellows and Senior Fellows.
