This award supports a U.S.-Australia workshop for the refinement and assessment of an innovative middle school science education pedagogy that links science, art activities and creative writing, and uses international collaboration. The workshop will be held in Hobart, Tasmania bringing together scientists and teachers from Alaska and Tasmania following the teachers completion of a pilot project with their students studying polar science and collaboratively writing Arctic/Antarctic mystery e-books. The workshop and pilot project will be organized and led by Elena B. Sparrow from the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, G. Andrew Page from the University of Alaska Anchorage, Allan Miller from the Alaska Statewide Mentor Program, Andy Baird from the Tasmania Art Gallery and Museum, and Sandra Zicus from the International Antarctic Institute and the University of Tasmania. The workshop will serve as a forum to explore the 2008 Fall/Winter pilot project and to evaluate the processes and outcomes in order to investigate the development of a scaleable, sustainable model linking science and literacy education. Particular emphasis of the pilot project and future scale-up will be to broaden the participation of underserved students (Native Alaskans and other ethnic minorities, economically disadvantaged and/or geographically isolated) and teachers from remote schools. This activity integrates with the NSF funded IPY GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) Seasons and Biomes Project and GK-12 TASK (Teaching Assistants Sharing Knowledge) project.

该奖项支持美国-澳大利亚研讨会，改进和评估一种创新的中学科学教育教学法，将科学、艺术活动和创造性写作联系起来，并利用国际合作。 研讨会将在塔斯马尼亚州的霍巴特举行，来自阿拉斯加和塔斯马尼亚的科学家和教师将在教师完成一个试点项目后与他们的学生一起学习极地科学并合作撰写北极/南极神秘电子书。 研讨会和试点项目将由Elena B组织和领导。阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯国际北极研究中心的斯派洛说，来自阿拉斯加安克雷奇大学的安德鲁·佩奇、来自阿拉斯加全州导师计划的艾伦·米勒、来自塔斯马尼亚美术馆和博物馆的安迪·贝尔德、来自国际南极研究所和塔斯马尼亚大学的桑德拉·齐克斯。 该讲习班将作为一个论坛，探讨2008年秋季/冬季试点项目，并评估其进程和成果，以探讨如何建立一个可扩展的、可持续的、将科学与扫盲教育联系起来的模式。 试点项目和今后扩大规模的特别重点将是扩大服务不足的学生（阿拉斯加土著人和其他少数民族、经济上处于不利地位和/或地理上与世隔绝的人）和偏远学校教师的参与。这项活动与NSF资助的IPY地球仪（全球学习和观察，以造福环境）季节和生物群落项目和GK-12任务（教学助理分享知识）项目相结合。
