PROPOSAL #: 0638708PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Kenneth WolffINSTITUTION: Montclair State UniversityTITLE: New, Gk-12 Fellows in the middle: Partnerships of Inquiry and Interdisciplinary Middle School Science and MathematicsThis project matches STEM graduate students from Montclair State University with middle grade teachers in five local districts. The main goals of this project are: 1) to enhance Fellows' communication skills, 2) to strengthen teachers' content knowledge, and 3) to improve science and math achievement in middle grades. These goals drive all training, implementation, and assessment efforts. Fellows and teachers participate in training activities that promote inquiry- and standards-based teaching, especially as they relate to raising the achievement of students with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD). Fellows bring their content knowledge and research experiences to the classroom, enhancing instruction and piquing students' interest in science and math. The intellectual merits of this project are related to its inquiry-based and interdisciplinary structure. Fellows and teachers participate in workshops that promote child-centered instruction using NSF-funded materials such as Developing Mathematical Ideas; the Connected Mathematics Project; and Full Option Science System. Fellows and teachers, guided by Research Advisors and project personnel, design and deliver interdisciplinary units based on annual themes such as Earth History, Planetary Science, Populations and Ecosystems, or Chemical Interactions. These units engage students in field experiences, promote scientific processes, and make connections to cutting-edge research. Fellows and teachers have opportunities to engage in research and educational endeavors at international institutions, further enhancing middle grades students' understanding of research.

提案编号：0638708校长：肯尼思沃尔夫机构：蒙特克莱尔州立大学标题：新的，GK-12研究员在中间：调查和跨学科的中学科学和数学的伙伴关系这个项目匹配干研究生从蒙特克莱尔州立大学与五个当地地区的中学教师。 该项目的主要目标是：1）提高研究员的沟通技巧，2）加强教师的学科知识，3）提高中年级的科学和数学成绩。这些目标推动了所有的培训、实施和评估工作。研究员和教师参加培训活动，促进探究和基于标准的教学，特别是因为它们涉及到提高学生的英语水平有限（LEP）和特殊学习障碍（SLD）的成就。研究员将他们的内容知识和研究经验带到课堂上，加强教学，激发学生对科学和数学的兴趣。该项目的智力优势与其基于探究和跨学科的结构有关。研究员和教师参加研讨会，促进以儿童为中心的教学使用NSF资助的材料，如发展数学思想;连接数学项目;和全选项科学系统。在研究顾问和项目人员的指导下，研究员和教师根据地球历史，行星科学，人口和生态系统或化学相互作用等年度主题设计和提供跨学科单元。这些单位让学生参与实地经验，促进科学进程，并与前沿研究建立联系。研究员和教师有机会在国际机构从事研究和教育工作，进一步提高中年级学生对研究的理解。
