K12 Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Workshop Series

一个由来自华盛顿西北部学区的K12教师领袖、私立学校和部落学校组成的专业学习社区，将与华盛顿大学海洋学科学家学院合作，参与K12海洋观测站倡议(OOI)讲习班，其重点是通过使用来自OOI区域电缆阵列(RCA)的数据学习海洋科学。参与者将包括从17个学区和9个其他区域STEM网络中挑选出来的多达15名中学教师。STEM课程将包括海洋酸化、轴向海山和卡斯卡迪亚俯冲带沿线的地震活动以及气候变化等主题。工作坊将提供有关RCA科学的专业发展/培训，以及如何使用相关数据和技术在课堂上支持STEM学习。工作坊将提供关于RCA科学的专业发展(PD)/培训，以及如何将相关数据纳入课堂。具体的讲习班目标包括：1)发展符合国家标准的开放式开放教育科学的教师和学生核心知识；2)培训参与者使用基于云的平台获取开放式开放教育数据和可在课堂上用于探究性学习的可视化；以及3)共同创建3-5个可用于全国教师能力建设的完整教育包。所提供的培训将通过将OOI数据真实、深入和有意义地整合到STEM课程和实地经验中，改善K12教师的教学实践和学生在STEM教学中的成绩。所描述的课程将通过在各种网站上发布给全国的教师、学生和校长。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

A professional learning community of K12 teacher leaders from northwest Washington school districts, and private and Tribal schools, in partnership with University of Washington (UW), School of Oceanography scientists, will engage in a K12 Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) workshop centered on learning marine science through the use of data from the OOI Regional Cabled Array (RCA). Participants will include a cohort of up to fifteen secondary teachers selected from a network of seventeen school districts and nine other regional STEM Networks. STEM lessons will include topics such as ocean acidification, seismic activity at Axial Seamount and along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and climate change. The workshop will provide professional development/training on RCA science and how to use the relevant data and technology to support STEM learning in the classroom.The workshops will provide professional development (PD)/training on RCA science and how to use the relevant data for inclusion in the classroom. Specific workshop goals include: 1) Developing teacher and student core knowledge about OOI science that aligns with state standards; 2) Training participants to use a cloud-based platform for access to OOI data and visualizations that can be used in the classroom for inquiry-based learning; and 3) Co-creating 3-5 complete educational packages that can be used nationwide to build teacher capacity. The training provided will improve K12 teacher instructional practice and student achievement in STEM instruction through the real-life deep and meaningful integration of OOI data into STEM coursework and field experiences. The lessons described will be made available to teachers, students, and principals nationwide via publication on a variety of websites.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.
