GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS IN K-12 EDUCATIONABSTRACTPROPOSAL #: 0742561PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Gretchen Rollwagen-Bollens INSTITUTION: Washington State UniversityTITLE: Global Change in a Local Context: Partners in Discovery of the Columbia River WatershedThe Partners in Discovery GK-12 project brings Washington State University Vancouver (WSUV) science graduate students and faculty together with Clark County, Washington, science teachers in a collaborative partnership. The central theme of this GK-12 project is ?Global Change in a Local Context,? with the Columbia River Watershed as the unifying environmental feature around which students connect science concepts from their classrooms to their own ?backyard.? Clark County is located on the southwest border of Washington State, along a 100-mile stretch of the lower Columbia River. The Columbia River Watershed, extending from the high Cascade glaciers to the estuary and river mouth, encompasses the entire county and is the defining feature of this region ? environmentally, economically and culturally. Clark County, with nearly 400,000 residents, is the fastest-growing county in Washington, and is experiencing dramatic changes in population, housing construction, land use, etc., that are directly impacting the watershed. Thus the watershed and the Global/Local theme provide a compelling and relevant context within which to explore science disciplinary content (Earth, Life and Physical Sciences) through inquiry, and in particular how change in nature is manifested in a local system and how those changes affect students as individuals and communities. The Partners in Discovery GK-12 project is structured around year-long one-on-one partnerships between WSUV graduate student Fellows and grades 6th ? 9th science Teachers in four Clark County school districts. Fellows and Teachers will engage students in authentic scientific inquiry focused on the nature and impacts of change in the Columbia River Watershed. The Fellow-Teacher partnerships will utilize each district?s existing curriculum and revise or augment their science ?kits? by identifying questions and inquiry activities that link instructional modules to state and national science standards, and to the complementary expertise of WSUV research faculty and graduate students working in the Watershed. The program will support 6 to 10 Fellows-teacher partnerships per year for a total of five years.

K-12教育研究生教学研究员项目提案#:0742561首席研究员：Gretchen Rollwagen-Bollens机构：华盛顿州立大学标题：地方背景下的全球变化：哥伦比亚河流域发现的合作伙伴发现的合作伙伴GK-12项目将华盛顿州立大学温哥华分校（WSUV）的科学研究生和教师与华盛顿克拉克县的科学教师建立合作伙伴关系。这个GK-12项目的中心主题是？局部背景下的全球变化？以哥伦比亚河流域作为统一的环境特征，学生们围绕着它将科学概念从教室联系到自己的后院。克拉克县位于华盛顿州的西南边界，沿着100英里长的哥伦比亚河下游。哥伦比亚河流域，从高喀斯喀特冰川延伸到河口和河口，涵盖了整个县，是该地区的标志性特征。环境、经济和文化。克拉克县拥有近40万居民，是华盛顿州发展最快的县，在人口、住房建设、土地利用等方面正经历着巨大的变化，这些变化直接影响着流域。因此，分水岭和全球/地方主题提供了一个引人注目的相关背景，通过探究探索科学学科内容（地球，生命和物理科学），特别是自然变化如何在当地系统中表现出来，以及这些变化如何影响学生作为个人和社区。GK-12项目的合作伙伴是围绕WSUV研究生研究员和六年级学生之间长达一年的一对一合作关系构建的。克拉克县四个学区的第9届科学教师。研究员和教师将让学生参与真正的科学探究，重点关注哥伦比亚河流域变化的性质和影响。教师之友伙伴关系将利用每个地区？对现有的课程进行修改或扩充。通过确定问题和探究活动，将教学模块与州和国家科学标准联系起来，并将WSUV研究教师和在流域工作的研究生的互补专业知识联系起来。该项目每年将支持6至10个研究员-教师合作伙伴关系，为期5年。
