GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS IN K-12 EDUCATIONABSTRACTPROPOSAL #: 0742450PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Robert Newton INSTITUTION: Columbia UniversityTITLE: Learning through Ecology and Environmental Field Studies (LEEFS) This GK-12 award provides funding for 9 Fellows each year to work with 12 teachers in New York City Title 1 schools. The teachers will be selected from a total of eight middle schools and four high schools. In addition, teachers from one high schools located in the Dominican Republic will participate in the program. The program is designed around the theme: Learning through Ecology and Environmental Field Studies (LEEFS). The LEEFS project integrates and expands on existing partnerships between units of the Columbia University Earth Institute and New York City Title 1 schools. Graduate Fellows and grade 6-12 teachers will work together for four to eight weeks prior to the school year in a program of field science internships, professional development, and curriculum planning and creation. During the academic year, direct support is supplied to partnering schools in field and laboratory science: weekly on-site presence of Fellows and assistance in field and laboratory locations. Innovative aspects include: the intensity of integration of teachers and their students into field research in an urban setting; the close linkage of LEEFS with the NYC Department of Education initiatives toward inquiry-driven, hands-on, experiential learning of science for the general student population; near real-time access to LEEFS field data collection; and extension of the Program to research and education in the Dominican Republic. The program actualizes recent pedagogical research indicating unique benefits from field based learning; it contributes to several NSF-funded field programs; and it explores innovative ways to augment graduate student education. LEEFS will also impact the high-needs schools in the New York area and will provide an international connection for participating Fellows and teachers.

K-12教育研究生教学研究员项目提案#:0742450主要研究者：罗伯特·牛顿机构：哥伦比亚大学标题：通过生态与环境实地研究学习（LEEFS）这个GK-12奖每年为9名研究员提供资金，与纽约市第一名学校的12名教师一起工作。这些教师将从8所初中和4所高中中选出。此外，多米尼加共和国一所高中的教师也将参加该项目。该计划的主题是：通过生态与环境实地研究（LEEFS）进行学习。LEEFS项目整合并扩展了哥伦比亚大学地球研究所和纽约市一级学校之间现有的伙伴关系。研究生研究员和6-12年级的教师将在学年开始前一起工作4 - 8周，进行实地科学实习、专业发展、课程规划和创建等项目。在学年期间，向合作学校提供实地和实验室科学方面的直接支持：每周派研究员到现场，并在实地和实验室地点提供援助。创新方面包括：教师和学生在城市环境中融入实地研究的强度；LEEFS与纽约市教育部的紧密联系，旨在为普通学生提供探究驱动的、动手的、体验式的科学学习；接近实时访问LEEFS现场数据收集；并将该计划扩展到多米尼加共和国的研究和教育领域。该计划实现了最近的教学研究，表明实地学习的独特好处；它为几个nsf资助的实地项目做出了贡献；它还探索了加强研究生教育的创新方法。LEEFS还将影响纽约地区的高需求学校，并将为参与的研究员和教师提供国际联系。
