This RET site at the University of California Berkeley entitled, "RET Site: Berkeley Research Experiences for Teachers plus Data Science (BERET+D)", will focus on research aimed at introducing pre-service and in-service math and science teachers to the use of data science in understanding, analyzing and visualizing engineering and science data, including distributed data sets from science centers across campus. A key element of the BERET+D program is support for teachers to acquire the necessary pedagogical content knowledge to engage their own K-12 students in data science. In-service and pre-service teacher teams will conduct research in a variety of engineering labs and science centers at UC Berkeley. Teacher teams will also participate in a sequence of summer and academic-year professional development activities that support them in translating their research into curriculum. BERET+D will pair pre-service teachers enrolled in the UC Berkeley CalTeach program with experienced in-service teachers serving predominantly underrepresented students in partnering public school districts. These teacher teams will develop essential research, analysis and visualization skills by engaging in data science research. Based on their common research experience, the teacher teams will develop curricula that connect current research to K-12 science and mathematics education and inspire students to see STEM as an exciting career with real-life applications. The teachers are guided in their research efforts by lab-based mentors who will gain instructional experience by serving as research advisers during the summer and as teaching partners in the K-12 classroom during the academic year. In addition, leadership opportunities will be provided to participating teachers by supporting them to co-facilitate academic year professional development workshops.BERET+D will contribute to engineering and scientific research, and K-12 education by supporting teachers to conduct research in the field, learn effective strategies for integrating data science into their classroom instruction, and develop, use and disseminate standards-based curricula. BERET+D will guide teachers to gain an understanding of the processes of conducting research, especially involving large data sets, by engaging in in-depth, authentic research and scaffolded reflections on these experiences in professional development activities. BERET+D will prepare participants to incorporate their research experiences into their classrooms and engage their K-12 students in both understanding and dealing with significant data sets. CalTeach will use RET program data as part of its ongoing efforts in research on teacher education and professional development, evaluating how the unique partnership (between pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, and graduate students) functions in doing authentic engineering research and co-implementing related curriculum in the classroom.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个位于加州大学伯克利分校的RET网站名为“RET网站：伯克利教师和数据科学的研究经验（BERET+D）”，将重点研究旨在向在职和在职数学和科学教师介绍如何使用数据科学来理解、分析和可视化工程和科学数据，包括来自校园科学中心的分布式数据集。BERET+D项目的一个关键要素是支持教师获得必要的教学内容知识，使他们自己的K-12学生参与数据科学。在职和职前教师团队将在加州大学伯克利分校的各种工程实验室和科学中心进行研究。教师团队还将参加一系列夏季和学年的专业发展活动，以支持他们将研究成果转化为课程。BERET+D将把加州大学伯克利分校CalTeach项目的职前教师与经验丰富的在职教师配对，为合作公立学区的弱势学生提供服务。这些教师团队将通过参与数据科学研究，培养基本的研究、分析和可视化技能。基于他们共同的研究经验，教师团队将开发课程，将当前的研究与K-12科学和数学教育联系起来，并激励学生将STEM视为一项具有现实应用价值的令人兴奋的职业。教师的研究工作由实验室导师指导，导师将在夏季担任研究顾问，并在学年期间担任K-12课堂的教学伙伴，从而获得教学经验。此外，我们会为参与的教师提供领导机会，协助他们共同筹办学年专业发展工作坊。BERET+D将通过支持教师在该领域进行研究，学习将数据科学整合到课堂教学中的有效策略，以及开发、使用和传播基于标准的课程，为工程和科学研究以及K-12教育做出贡献。BERET+D将引导教师通过深入、真实的研究，并在专业发展活动中对这些经验进行反思，来理解进行研究的过程，特别是涉及大型数据集的过程。BERET+D将为参与者做好准备，将他们的研究经验融入课堂，并让K-12学生理解和处理重要的数据集。CalTeach将把RET项目的数据作为其正在进行的教师教育和专业发展研究的一部分，评估这种独特的伙伴关系（职前教师、在职教师和研究生之间）在进行真正的工程研究和在课堂上共同实施相关课程方面的作用。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
