GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS IN K-12 EDUCATIONABSTRACTPROPOSAL #: 0638688PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Timothy HerbertINSTITUTION: Brown UniversityTITLE: New, GK-12 Physical Processes in the EnvironmentThis interdisciplinary program will involve graduate fellows from three of the physical science departments (Geological Sciences, Engineering, and Physics) at Brown University, who will immerse themselves in science pedagogy in two crucial pieces of the Providence Public School (PPS) system science pipeline: Elementary grades 3-6 and High School. Both levels of the PPS face significant challenges. All science specialist positions were eliminated across the system at the Elementary level four years ago, and the High School Science curriculum is moving toward a "Physics-First" sequence. In support of these changes, this program will be thematically broad, but with a focus relating STEM skills and concepts from the physical sciences to the environment and technology that surrounds the students. Graduate students at Brown and their teacher-partners will bring the excitement, stimulation, and modeling of science skills and modes of thought to students. Graduate students will bring creativity and insight from their own research to the classroom. This project also seeks to change the institution culture by demonstrating to science faculty that graduate student retention and communication skills increase through K-12 outreach activities, and by connecting faculty to a predominantly minority public school system.

K-12 教育研究生教学摘要提案编号：0638688 主要研究员：蒂莫西·赫伯特机构：布朗大学标题：环境中的新 GK-12 物理过程这个跨学科项目将涉及来自布朗大学三个物理科学系（地质科学、工程和物理）的研究生，他们将沉浸在科学中教育学的两个关键部分 普罗维登斯公立学校 (PPS) 系统科学管道：小学 3-6 年级和高中。 PPS 的两个层面都面临着重大挑战。四年前，整个系统在小学阶段取消了所有科学专家职位，高中科学课程正在朝着“物理第一”的方向发展。为了支持这些变革，该计划主题广泛，但重点是将 STEM 技能和概念从物理科学到学生周围的环境和技术联系起来。布朗大学的研究生和他们的教师合作伙伴将为学生带来科学技能和思维模式的兴奋、刺激和建模。 研究生将把自己研究中的创造力和洞察力带入课堂。 该项目还寻求通过向科学教师展示通过 K-12 外展活动提高研究生保留率和沟通技巧，以及将教师与以少数族裔为主的公立学校系统联系起来，来改变机构文化。
