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.

这个BIORETS网站（称为夏威夷生态系统科学或REACHES推进课程的研究经验）授予夏威夷檀香山的主教博物馆，将支持每年夏季七周和学年至少两周的八名教师的培训。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。夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民的学生人数不成比例地进入学校，而大多数人因其族裔、种族或性别而被排除在外。参与PEERS扩大了参与保护科学和STEM领域的能力和机会，通过基于地方的真实研究经验，允许使用夏威夷的例子来学习科学标准。在与教育（HDOE）的夏威夷部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动手研究活动，从事更广泛的学生的多样性。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，接受和看到。REACHES的PI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。REACHES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观的透镜进行生态系统科学。教师将被纳入圈养饲养和基因组研究在软体动物学和太平洋中心的分子生物多样性在博物馆，以解决有关生活史，饮食，行为和生物多样性的问题。夏威夷文化工作者将提供培训，以便将文化习俗和价值观纳入研究和教学，从而扩大参与，并帮助使“阿罗哈艾纳”（对土地的热爱）永久化。申请和要求将在NSF ETAP网站上提供，并通过HDOE网站提供链接。申请将由PI，文化从业者和教育专家进行审查，并在选择参与者之前对申请人进行面试。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
