GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS IN K-12 EDUCATIONABSTRACTPROPOSAL #: 0742395PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Stepien, CarolINSTITUTION: University of ToledoTITLE: Graduate Teaching Fellows in STEM High School Education: An Environmental Science Learning Community at the Land-Lake Ecosystem Interface The proposed program, ?Graduate Teaching Fellows in STEM High School Education: An Environmental Science Learning Community at the Land-Lake Ecosystem Interface? partners advanced graduate students at the University of Toledo and nearby University of Windsor with high school teachers and their students to build an Environmental Science Learning Community at the land-lake ecosystem interface. The objectives are to: 1) Generate student enthusiasm for science careers by engaging them in hands-on research into environmental problems, 2) Exchange knowledge and pedagogies between graduate students and high school teachers resulting in cutting-edge environmental science content and increased teaching and communication skills, and 3) Develop hands-on solutions to environmental problems along schoolyard stream ecosystems feeding the Great Lakes. Graduate fellows, teachers, and high school students will gain hands-on experience in the role of urban and agricultural influences on watersheds in the history, social development, and future vitality of the Great Lakes region; disseminated through the project website, presentations, and publications. Research on environmental problems is a real method through which students can give back to their own local communities, thereby helping to build an educational network focused on making lifestyles more interactive with the natural environment. This program thus embraces the public scholarship philosophic concept of merging scientific research with civic responsibility to benefit the public and the community.

K-12EDUCATIONABSTRACTPROPOSAL#：0742395 PRINCIPAL调查员：卡罗莱纳州立大学：托莱多大学：STEM高中教育的研究生教学研究员：陆地-湖泊生态系统界面的环境科学学习社区拟议的计划，？STEM高中教育的研究生教学研究员：陆地-湖泊生态系统界面的环境科学学习社区？合作伙伴在托莱多大学和附近的温莎大学进修研究生与高中教师和他们的学生，在陆地-湖泊生态系统界面建立环境科学学习社区。其目标是：1)通过让学生参与对环境问题的实践研究，激发他们对科学职业的热情；2)在研究生和高中教师之间交流知识和教学方法，从而提高尖端的环境科学内容，并增加教学和沟通技能；3)为五大湖沿岸的校园溪流生态系统开发实践解决方案。研究生、教师和高中生将获得实践经验，了解城市和农业对流域的影响在大湖区的历史、社会发展和未来活力中的作用；通过项目网站、演讲和出版物进行传播。对环境问题的研究是一种真正的方法，通过这种方法，学生可以回馈自己的当地社区，从而帮助建立一个专注于使生活方式与自然环境更具互动性的教育网络。因此，该方案包含了公共奖学金的哲学概念，即将科学研究与公民责任相结合，造福公众和社区。
