This award provides funding for a three year continuing award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering and Computer Science Site program at the University of California Berkeley entitled, "Berkeley Engineering Research Experiences for In-Service and Pre-Service Teachers (BERET)", under the direction of Dr. George C. Johnson.This program will focus on the intersection between engineering, science, and mathematics through the interdisciplinary lens of synthetic biology. This program will place a total of 52 middle and high school STEM teachers (26 in-service teachers from the Berkeley Unified School District and the Oakland Unified School District and 26 UC Berkeley pre-service teachers enrolled in Cal Teach) within a variety of engineering-related research laboratories associated with UC Berkeley and will guide them to develop curricula based on their research that is relevant to the subjects that they teach in school and aligned with the educational standards for the subject addressed. BERET will be run jointly by the Cal Teach science and mathematics teacher education program and the NSF Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (SynBERC). BERET will increase the understanding of math, science and engineering concepts, skills and careers for K-12 students in high need urban schools, and in so doing, contribute to increasing the number of women and under-represented minority students in the STEM pipeline, particularly in engineering fields. The rigorous K-12 curricula developed through BERET will be reviewed, tested and disseminated broadly through web-based resources such as the Industry Initiatives for Science and Math Education (IISME) Community website and the TeachEngineering digital library. The program will also help to build a vibrant network of in-service teachers, pre-service teachers, and faculty, postdoctoral, and graduate student researchers that will produce long-term collaborative partnerships among individuals and institutions.

该奖项提供为期三年的持续资助，以支持加州大学伯克利分校工程和计算机科学网站项目的教师研究经验（RET），题为“伯克利在职和职前教师工程研究经验（BERET）”，由George C. Johnson博士指导。该计划将通过合成生物学的跨学科镜头专注于工程，科学和数学之间的交集。该项目将为52名初中和高中STEM教师（26名来自伯克利联合学区和奥克兰联合学区的在职教师，26名加州大学伯克利分校在加州大学伯克利分校注册的职前教师）提供与加州大学伯克利分校相关的各种工程相关研究实验室，并将指导他们根据他们的研究开发与他们在学校教授的科目相关的课程，并与教育保持一致所述主题的标准。BERET将由加州科学和数学教师教育计划和美国国家科学基金会合成生物工程研究中心（SynBERC）联合运营。贝雷特将提高对高需求城市学校K-12学生对数学、科学和工程概念、技能和职业的理解，从而有助于增加STEM管道中女性和代表性不足的少数民族学生的数量，特别是在工程领域。通过BERET开发的严格的K-12课程将通过基于网络的资源进行审查、测试和广泛传播，如科学和数学教育行业倡议（IISME）社区网站和TeachEngineering数字图书馆。该项目还将帮助建立一个由在职教师、职前教师、教职员工、博士后和研究生研究人员组成的充满活力的网络，在个人和机构之间建立长期的合作伙伴关系。
