Continuing, GK-12 Groundwork Education in Mathematics and Science (GEMS)

K-12教育研究生教学项目摘要提案编号：0638579首席研究员：Christine L. RichINSTITUTION：路易斯维尔大学标题：继续，GK-12数学与科学基础教育（GEMS）数学与科学基础教育（GEMS）是一个继续的GK-12项目，是路易斯维尔大学（UL）和杰斐逊县公立学校（JCPS）的合作伙伴关系。该项目将STEM学科的研究生与课堂教师合作，以促进基于标准的改革。继续进行的项目将集中在中学阶段（6-7年级）。主要研究人员致力于可持续发展和制度变革。该项目每年将招收10名STEM研究生（其中一名将由UL资助）和10名JCPS教师。该项目将影响30多个班级（约900名学生）。评价工作将确定GEMS对参与者产生何种影响；因此，它将侧重于产生可衡量的结果。智力价值包括开发一个嵌入工作的专业发展计划，刺激学生的参与和教师领导干部的准备。更广泛的影响包括为大学研究生培训项目中类似GK-12的经验制度化建立一个模型基础。

GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS IN K-12 EDUCATION ABSTRACTPROPOSAL #: 0638579PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Christine L. RichINSTITUTION: University of LouisvilleTITLE: Continuing, GK-12 Groundwork Education in Mathematics and Science (GEMS)The Groundwork Education in Mathematics and Science (GEMS), a continuing GK-12 project, is a partnership between the University of Louisville (UL) and the Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS). The project partners graduate fellows from STEM disciplines with teachers in the classroom to promote standard-based reform. The continuing project will focus at the middle school level (grades 6-7). The principal investigators are committed to sustainability and institutional change. Each year the project will recruit 10 STEM graduate fellows (one of which will be supported by UL) and 10 JCPS teachers. Together the project will impact over 30 classes (with approximately 900 students). The evaluation effort will determine what effects GEMS is having on the participants; therefore, it will focus on producing measurable outcomes. The intellectual merit includes developing a job-embedded professional development program that stimulates student engagement and preparation of a cadre of teacher leaders. The broader impacts include building a model foundation for institutionalization of GK-12 like experiences in University graduate training programs.
