BIORETS: Research Experiences for Advancing Curriculum on Hawaiian Ecosystem Sciences (REACHES)

这个BIORETS网站（称为夏威夷生态系统科学推进课程的研究经验或达到）奖给了夏威夷檀香山的主教博物馆，每年将在夏季提供七周的培训，在学年期间至少提供两周的培训。在2024-2026年期间，将从夏威夷服务不足的学校招聘高中和社区大学教师。不成比例的夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民学生就读的学校，大多数人因为种族、种族或性别（PEERS）而被排除在外。通过基于地点的真实研究体验，允许使用夏威夷的例子来学习科学标准，参与同龄人扩大了参与保护科学和STEM领域的能力和机会。通过与夏威夷教育部（HDOE）和其他合作伙伴的合作，教师将加深他们的科学素养和理解，将这些经验转化为课堂课程和实践研究活动，吸引更广泛的学生。参与者将来自不同的文化、经济和代际背景，有效的学习发生在他们感到受欢迎、被接受和被关注的地方。项目负责人和合作伙伴将努力创造一个安全的学习环境，并提供内部（导师）和外部（人力资源）支持网络，以促进多样性和包容性。reach的主题重点是通过陆地蜗牛生态学，保护和夏威夷文化价值的镜头关注生态系统科学。教师将被整合到笼养饲养和线虫学的基因组研究中，以及博物馆的太平洋分子生物多样性中心，以解决有关生活史、饮食、行为和生物多样性的问题。夏威夷文化从业者将提供培训，将文化实践和价值观融入研究和教学中，从而扩大参与并帮助延续“aloha aina”（热爱土地）。申请和要求将在NSF ETAP网站上提供，并通过HDOE网站发布链接。申请将由pi，文化从业者和教育专家进行审查，并在选择项目参与者之前对申请人进行面试。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。

This BIORETS Site (called Research Experiences for Advancing Curriculum on Hawaiian Ecosystem Sciences or REACHES) award to Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii, will support the training of eight teachers each year for seven weeks during the summer and at least two weeks during the academic year. High school and community college teachers from Hawaii’s underserved schools will be recruited during 2024-2026. A disproportionate number of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students attend schools with majority population of people excluded because of their ethnicity, race, or sex (PEERS). Engaging PEERS expands capacity and opportunities for participation in conservation science and STEM fields through place-based authentic research experiences that allow for use of Hawaiian examples for learning science standards. In collaboration with the Hawaii Department of Education (HDOE) and other partners, teachers will deepen their science literacy and understanding to translate these experiences into classroom curriculum and hands-on research activities, engaging a broader diversity of students. Participants will come from diverse cultural, economic, and generational backgrounds, and effective learning occurs where they feel welcome, accepted, and seen. The PIs and partners for REACHES will strive to create a safe learning environment and provide internal (mentors) and external (human resources) support network to promote diversity and inclusivity.The thematic focus of REACHES is on ecosystem sciences through the lens of land snail ecology, conservation, and Hawaiian cultural values. Teachers will be integrated into captive rearing and genomic research in Malacology and the Pacific Center for Molecular Biodiversity at the museum to address questions about life history, diet, behavior, and biodiversity. Hawaiian cultural practitioners will provide training for incorporating cultural practices and values into research and teaching, thus expanding participation and helping perpetuate "aloha aina" (love of the land). Applications and requirements will be available on the NSF ETAP site with links disseminated via the HDOE website. Applications will be reviewed by PIs, cultural practitioners, and education specialists, and applicants will be interviewed prior to selecting participants in the program.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.
