Science First!

摘要提案：0742364PI: Gordon anderson机构：东田纳西州立大学（ETSU）标题：科学第一！NSF支持的STEM学科包括：生物科学、化学、计算机科学、教育、数学科学、物理和技术。该项目将建立在ETSU和North Side Elementary之间现有的合作伙伴关系的基础上，North Side Elementary是一所学校，位于田纳西州约翰逊市（人口57,000）的一个老社区。北区小学是一所表现不佳的学校，入学人数不断下降；大约95%的学生获得免费或降价午餐，并面临关闭的风险。相反，这所学校被归类为一所标志性的科学和数学学校，并得到了学校董事会的批准，启动了一项令人兴奋的实验，将整个K-5课程建立在科学基础上。科学第一！GK-12项目旨在加强和扩大ETSU与North Side Elementary之间的合作伙伴关系，从而取得以下成果：研究员和教师将为基于标准、科学驱动和科学激励的完整、独立的K-5课程创建课堂材料；这些材料将进行分级测试、评估、出版和广泛传播；约翰逊城呢？中国统一的初中和初中的管理人员将与pi、研究员和教师一起制定类似的6-9年级课程修订计划。在300名学生的小型学校里，“智力价值”是影响每个学生的潜力。预计在补助金有效期内，约有500名在校或入读幼稚园的儿童将直接受到新课程的影响。将开发一套完整的课程材料，从而有可能启动具有全国重大影响的课程活动，因为由科学驱动的跨学科教育将成为其他人可能希望效仿的模式。该项目将使学生沉浸在跨学科课程中，这将受到地方和国家的关注，家长的参与，在中学阶段继续该项目的努力，以及复制和适应的潜力。都是什么促成的？更广泛的影响?这个项目的。

Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12)AbstractProposal: 0742364PI: Gordon AndersonInstitution: East Tennessee State University (ETSU)Title: Science First! NSF supported STEM disciplines: Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Education, Mathematical Sciences, Physics, and Technology. This project will build upon the existing partnership between ETSU and North Side Elementary, a school located within an older neighborhood in Johnson City, TN (population 57,000). North Side Elementary is a low-performing school with declining enrollment; approximately 95% of the students receive free or reduced price lunches, and was at risk of closure. Instead, the school has been classified as a signature school of science and mathematics, and has received school board approval to launch an exciting experiment to base the entire K-5 curriculum at North Side on Science. The Science First! GK-12 project seeks to strengthen and expand the partnership between ETSU and North Side Elementary leading to the following outcomes: fellows and teachers will create classroom materials for an entire, stand-alone K-5 curriculum that is standards-based, science-driven, and science-motivated; these materials will be class tested, assessed, published, and widely disseminated; and Johnson City?s unified Middle School and Junior High School administrators will work with the PIs, fellows and teachers to plan for similar curricular revision at the 6-9 grade levelsThis project?s Intellectual Merit is the potential to affect every student in a small school with an enrollment of 300. It is expected that about 500 children who are either in school or enter kindergarten during the life of the grant will be directly affected by the new curriculum. A complete set of curricular materials will be developed, leading to the potential to launch a curricular event of large national impact, since interdisciplinary education driven by science will be a model that others might wish to emulate, This projects will immerse students in an interdisciplinary curriculum that will enjoy local and national attention, involvement of parents, efforts to continue the project at the middle school level, and the potential for replication and adaptation, all oh which contribute to ?broader impact? of the project.
