Abstract: Sustainability Science for Sustainable SchoolsThis project teams faculty and graduate-student researchers from Arizona State University?s School of Sustainability with high-school teachers, students, and administrators to address the challenge of becoming a ?sustainable school.? Fellows, guided by faculty members, will help teachers and students use scientific methods and tools to collect data on sustainability indicators on food, energy, water, waste, landscaping, and quality of life at their schools. Students will collect, analyze, and graphically represent scientific data and then communicate their findings and solutions at community forums and science fairs. ?Sustainable Schools? will influence the curriculum and practices of three large school districts in Greater Phoenix. School districts, teachers, and students across many city boundaries will gain access to original research in a new and exploding field of inquiry of sustainability science.In turn, the K-12 community will greatly assist graduate students in the world?s first School of Sustainability. The project will: 1) enhance graduate training and career trajectories; 2) sharpen collaboration, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary skills in real-world contexts; 3) empower Fellows to be better teachers by training them in curriculum and science-based instruction; 4) help school districts integrate sustainability research into curriculum and operations; 5) improve teachers? ability to integrate sustainability concepts into their teaching; 6) expand teachers? ability to develop interdisciplinary curriculum; 7) increase awareness of high-school students about global and local sustainability challenges and encourage them to pursue careers in science, engineering, math, and technology.

翻译后摘要：可持续发展科学可持续学校这个项目团队的教师和研究生研究人员从亚利桑那州州立大学？的可持续发展学校与高中教师，学生和管理人员，以解决成为一个？可持续发展学校？研究员在教师的指导下，将帮助教师和学生使用科学方法和工具收集有关食品，能源，水，废物，景观和学校生活质量的可持续性指标的数据。学生将收集，分析，并以图形方式表示科学数据，然后在社区论坛和科学博览会上交流他们的发现和解决方案。?可持续学校？将影响大凤凰城三个大型学区的课程和实践。跨越城市边界的学区、教师和学生将获得可持续发展科学这一新兴且爆炸性的研究领域的原创研究。反过来，K-12社区将极大地帮助世界各地的研究生？第一所可持续发展学校。该项目将：1）加强研究生培训和职业轨迹; 2）在现实世界中加强合作，解决问题和跨学科技能; 3）通过培训课程和科学教学，使研究员成为更好的教师; 4）帮助学区将可持续发展研究纳入课程和运营; 5）提高教师？将可持续发展概念融入教学的能力; 6）扩大教师队伍？开发跨学科课程的能力; 7）提高高中生对全球和当地可持续发展挑战的认识，并鼓励他们追求科学，工程，数学和技术方面的职业生涯。
