GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS IN K-12 EDUCATIONABSTRACTProposal #: 0742419 PI: Craig GilmanInstitution: Coastal Carolina UniversityTitle: GK-12 Fellows Linking Marine and Wetland Research with Science Education in Coastal South Carolina SchoolsUsing the theme of Coastal Marine and Wetland Studies (CMWS), the GK-12 project at Coastal Carolina will support 6-8 Fellows each year who will work one-on-one with grade 6-12 teachers in the Coastal Carolina schools. The program will partner with the Horry County School District in South Carolina and accept teachers from any of the ten middle or nine high schools in the county. Horry County is the largest county in S. C. It is both suburban and rural. The program encompasses the foundational STEM disciplines of biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and mathematics, as well as specialized disciplines such as marine science and environmental science. The GK-12 program at Coastal Carolina University (CCU) will team GK-12 Fellows from the CMWS graduate program with cooperating teachers to build STEM-related partnerships between the university and local schools and to enhance the educational programs and experiences for students at the middle school, high school, and university level. The fellows, who all conduct field-based research in the multidisciplinary fields of coastal and wetland science, will bring an interdisciplinary approach to the curriculum of local middle and high school science classrooms. Broader impacts include increasing interest and learning in STEM disciplines by historically underrepresented students in South Carolina, and to provide these diverse students with role models and mentors. Teachers will increase their content knowledge in various STEM disciplines and inquiry-based activities will be disseminated through the Horry County science curricula.

K-12教育研究生教学研究员摘要提案编号：0742419 PI：克雷格吉尔曼机构：沿海卡罗莱纳大学职称：GK-12研究员将海洋和湿地研究与沿海南卡罗来纳州学校的科学教育联系起来以沿海海洋和湿地研究（CMWS）为主题，在沿海卡罗莱纳的GK-12项目每年将支持6-8名研究员，他们将与沿海卡罗莱纳学校的6-12年级教师一对一合作。该项目将与南卡罗来纳州的霍利县学区合作，接受该县10所初中或9所高中的教师。霍里县是南苏丹最大的县。C.它既是郊区又是农村。该计划包括生物学，化学，地质学，物理学和数学的基础STEM学科，以及海洋科学和环境科学等专业学科。海岸卡罗莱纳大学（CCU）的GK-12项目将与CMWS研究生项目的GK-12研究员合作，在大学和当地学校之间建立STEM相关的合作伙伴关系，并加强初中，高中和大学学生的教育计划和经验。研究员，谁都在沿海和湿地科学的多学科领域进行实地研究，将带来一个跨学科的方法，当地初中和高中科学课堂的课程。更广泛的影响包括提高南卡罗来纳州历史上代表性不足的学生对STEM学科的兴趣和学习，并为这些不同的学生提供榜样和导师。教师将增加他们在各种STEM学科的内容知识，并通过霍利县的科学课程传播基于探究的活动。
