AbstractThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5), and meets the requirements established in Section 2 of the White House Memorandum entitled, Ensuring Responsible Spending of Recovery Act Funds, dated March 20, 2009. I also affirm, as the cognizant Program Officer, that the proposal does not support projects described in Section 1604 of Division A of the Recovery Act. In project GlobalWatershed, graduate Fellows will conduct research in watershed science topics, at a range of scales and cultural contexts, while working with middle/high school teachers to create lesson plans that transfer this knowledge to their students. The goals of GlobalWatershed are to (a) expand traditional STEM graduate student training to allow graduate students to acquire improved teaching and communication skills and to gain a greater appreciation of the scientific context of their research, and make this expanded training a permanent fixture at MTU and to enrich STEM learning and instruction in local K12 schools serving low-income and high Native American populations and a Sonora, Mexico K12 school system, specifically by translating state-of-the-art watershed research to the K12 level, and make this enrichment sustainable at these schools. Fellows will receive training in effective teaching techniques, learning styles, lesson planning, classroom management, ways of assessing science proficiency, inquiry-based approaches for teaching science, teaching concepts of scientific research, and indigenous perspectives and awareness and sensitivity to other ways of learning. Teachers will attend professional development workshops to learn about watershed science research and methodologies. Lesson plans and units will be developed by Fellows and teachers on a range of watershed topics, to be incorporated into secondary school curricula, including science, mathematics, and social studies. These materials will be aligned with appropriate Michigan and Sonora educational standards.

摘要本奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的，并符合2009年3月20日白宫备忘录第2节“确保负责任的复苏法案资金支出”的要求。我还确认，作为认可的项目官员，该提案不支持《复苏法案》A部分第1604条所述的项目。在全球流域项目中，研究生研究员将在一系列尺度和文化背景下进行流域科学主题的研究，同时与初中/高中教师合作制定课程计划，将这些知识传授给学生。全球流域的目标是：(a)扩大传统的STEM研究生培训，使研究生获得更好的教学和沟通技巧，并对其研究的科学背景有更大的了解，并使这种扩大的培训成为MTU的永久固定设施，并丰富当地K12学校的STEM学习和教学，服务于低收入和高收入的美洲原住民人口和墨西哥索诺拉K12学校系统；特别是通过将最先进的流域研究转化为K12水平，并使这些学校的丰富可持续发展。研究员将接受以下方面的培训：有效的教学技术、学习方式、课程规划、课堂管理、评估科学能力的方法、以探究为基础的科学教学方法、科学研究的教学概念、土著观点以及对其他学习方式的认识和敏感性。教师将参加专业发展研讨会，学习流域科学研究和方法。研究员和教师将根据一系列具有分水岭意义的主题制定课程计划和单元，纳入中学课程，包括科学、数学和社会研究。这些材料将与适当的密歇根和索诺拉教育标准保持一致。
