PROPOSAL #: 0638730PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: David MillsINSTITUTION: Louisiana Tech UniversityTITLE: Continuing GK-12, Creating Connections: Advancing Knowledge, Learning and STEM Career Opportunities for Rural LouisianaThis project involves 25 Graduate Teaching Fellows in northern Louisiana middle and high schools over a three year period. The program is centered on the theme of "molecular science and nanotechnology," a combination of biology and engineering at the nanoscale. Goals include (1) enhancement of the Fellows' understanding and commitment to K-12 education, (2) improved content knowledge and understanding of scientific investigation for partner teachers, their students, and the community at large, and (3) an increase in university research faculty's interest in and ability to work with K-12 schools. Molecular science/nanotechnology laboratories in the partner schools will be staffed by the teaching fellows and will serve as foci for fellow and teacher generated modules; fellow, teacher, student, research mentor interaction, and hands-on student engagement in science and engineering. A comparable outreach laboratory is established at Louisiana Tech and used to teach teachers molecular science/nanotechnology concepts and scientific investigation principles. In addition a "Creating Connections" program connects students, teachers, fellows and research mentors and educates research mentors about the benefits from and mechanisms for involvement with K-12 schools.

提案编号：0638730主要赞助商：大卫米尔斯机构：路易斯安那理工大学标题：继续GK-12，创建连接：推进知识，学习和农村路易斯安那STEM职业机会这个项目涉及25研究生教学研究员在北方路易斯安那州初中和高中超过三年的时间。该计划的主题是“分子科学和纳米技术”，在纳米级的生物学和工程相结合。 目标包括：（1）增强研究员对K-12教育的理解和承诺;（2）提高合作伙伴教师、学生和整个社区对科学研究的内容知识和理解;（3）提高大学研究人员对K-12学校的兴趣和能力。 合作学校的分子科学/纳米技术实验室将由教学研究员组成，并将作为研究员和教师生成模块的焦点;研究员，教师，学生，研究导师的互动，以及学生参与科学和工程的实践。路易斯安那理工学院建立了一个类似的外展实验室，用于教授教师分子科学/纳米技术概念和科学研究原则。此外，“建立联系”方案将学生、教师、研究员和研究导师联系起来，并教育研究导师了解参与K-12学校的好处和机制。
