The University of Nebraska Medical Center will continue to leverage the trust and cooperative spirit we have garnered working with tribal schools and communities in Nebraska and South Dakota. We will develop, implement, and evaluate science curriculum, outreach activities, and training experiences targeting Native American students and their teachers in grades K-12. The long-term goals of this project are to promote student interest in the sciences, foster a more science-literate public, and ultimately to increase the number of Native Americans entering health and science careers. Improving science and math instruction in the classrooms serving our Native American partners is key to this project. This objective will be accomplished by creating and adapting hands-on, age-appropriate lessons. Through summer workshops, mentoring, and in-service education, teacher support will facilitate the implementation of novel science and math education strategies for use in tribal schools. Student engagement will be enhanced through summer experiences from science camps for middle school to longer-term enrichment programs for select high school students. Reaching beyond the classroom to parents and communities is also critical to the success of this project. Community programs will be designed to give parents and elders the sense of excitement that students feel when doing science. Ancillary benefits will include promoting educational opportunities, healthy living, and improving health literacy. Professional evaluations will be made at all stages, with major emphasis being placed on evaluating the educational and community impact of the project. Research techniques will include baseline and post measures of attitudes and subject content, participant evaluation questionnaires, and student retrospective pretests. Advancing the health of Native American communities is the ultimate aim of every aspect of this project. Improved science teaching and heightened awareness of health careers will encourage students to enter these careers and hope to bring these skills back to their communities. Public outreach that increases health literacy and healthy living will promote better personal health decisions.

内布拉斯加大学医学中心将继续利用信任， 我们与部落学校和社区合作， 内布拉斯加州和南达科他州。我们将发展、实施和评估科学 针对美洲原住民的课程、外联活动和培训经验 学生和他们的老师在K-12年级。该项目的长期目标是 提高学生对科学的兴趣，培养更多的科学素养的公众， 并最终增加进入健康领域的美国原住民人数， 科学事业改善为我们服务的教室中的科学和数学教学 美国原住民合作伙伴是这个项目的关键。这一目标将通过以下方式实现： 创建和调整实践，适合年龄的课程。通过夏季讲习班， 指导和在职教育，教师支持将促进实施 在部落学校使用的新的科学和数学教育策略。学生 参与将通过科学营的夏季经验， 从中学到为选定的高中学生提供的长期充实计划。 在课堂之外接触家长和社区也是 这个项目的成功。社区计划将旨在为家长和 学生们在做科学研究时所感受到的兴奋感。附带效益 将包括促进教育机会、健康生活和改善健康状况 素养专业评价将在所有阶段进行，主要重点是 评估该项目的教育和社区影响。研究 技术将包括态度和主题内容的基线和事后测量， 参与者评估问卷和学生回顾性预测试。推进 美国原住民社区的健康是这一计划各个方面的最终目标。 项目改善科学教学和提高对健康职业的认识将 鼓励学生进入这些职业，并希望把这些技能带回他们的 社区.提高健康素养和健康生活的公共宣传将 促进更好的个人健康决策。
