Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12)AbstractProposal: # 0742551PI: Maarten ChrispeelsInstitution: University of California San DiegoTitle: Graduate Teaching Opportunity Program (GTO) NSF-supported STEM Disciplines: biology, neurosciences, biomedical, marine biology, oceanography, seismology, computational science, bioengineering. The proposal describes a collaborative project between University of California- San Diego, 2 major secondary school districts, 9 high schools, and the Emory University (Atlanta, GA) PRISM program (a previously funded GK-12 project) to develop graduate / teacher partnerships which will transfer new, inspirational activities derived from ongoing research lab activity into mainstream high school science classrooms and after-school Science & Technology Clubs. Designed to reinvigorate science teachers and stimulate underrepresented students to enter STEM careers, these activities will be developed annually at a Graduate Teaching Opportunity (GTO). The GTO model is based upon the highly visible pilot program (BioBridge) and will involve many of the same partners and hopes to clearly demonstrate the potential efficacy of an up-scaled model based upon the interaction of graduate students and teachers of science. The program seeks to catalyze a permanent alteration of the graduate student training culture at UCSD to include experience with, and understandings of, the K-12 educational process; increasing K-12 teacher knowledge of leading-edge science, interest in research, and the inquiry-based research process; inspiring student interest in STEM educations and careers; and, establishing sustainable communications and collaborations between university researchers and school/districts to increase the flow of exciting science discoveries directly into K-12 classrooms in accordance with curricula/standards dictates. The project merit lies in its goal to establish productive, ongoing inter-institutional communities of teaching practice through collaborations among university researchers, their graduate students, and high school science teachers. GTO establishes a sustainable science education model to dramatically increase numbers of students entering STEM career pathways.

申请项目：# 0742551PI: Maarten chrispeels机构：University of California San diego gottle：研究生教学机会计划（GTO） nsf支持的STEM学科：生物学、神经科学、生物医学、海洋生物学、海洋学、地震学、计算科学、生物工程。该提案描述了加州大学圣地亚哥分校、2个主要的中学学区、9所高中和埃默里大学（亚特兰大，乔治亚州）PRISM项目（先前资助的GK-12项目）之间的合作项目，以发展研究生/教师伙伴关系，将从正在进行的研究实验室活动中获得的新的鼓舞人心的活动转移到主流高中科学教室和课后科学与技术俱乐部。这些活动将在每年的研究生教学机会（GTO）上开展，旨在重振科学教师，激励代表性不足的学生进入STEM职业。GTO模式是基于高度可见的试点项目（生物桥），将涉及许多相同的合作伙伴，并希望清楚地展示基于研究生和科学教师互动的大规模模式的潜在功效。该项目旨在促进加州大学圣地亚哥分校研究生培训文化的永久改变，包括对K-12教育过程的体验和理解；增加K-12教师对前沿科学的知识，对研究的兴趣，以及基于探究的研究过程；激发学生对STEM教育和职业的兴趣；在大学研究人员和学校/学区之间建立可持续的沟通和合作，根据课程/标准的要求，增加令人兴奋的科学发现直接进入K-12教室。该项目的优点在于，它的目标是通过大学研究人员、研究生和高中科学教师之间的合作，建立富有成效的、持续的跨机构教学实践社区。GTO建立了一个可持续的科学教育模式，以大幅增加进入STEM职业道路的学生人数。
