Project Summary The employment demands in STEM fields grew twice as fast as employment in non-STEM fields in the last decade, making it a matter of national importance to educate the next generation about science, engineering and the scientific process. The need to educate students about STEM is particularly pronounced in low-income, rural communities where: i) students may perceive that STEM learning has little relevance to their lives; ii) there are little, if any, STEM-related resources and infrastructure available at their schools or in their immediate areas; and iii) STEM teachers, usually one per school, often teach out of their area expertise, and lack a network from which they can learn and with which they can share experiences. Through the proposed project, middle school teachers in low-income, rural communities will partner with Dartmouth faculty and graduate students and professional science educators at the Montshire Museum of Science to develop sustainable STEM curricular units for their schools. These crosscutting units will include a series of hands-on, investigative, active learning, and standards-aligned lessons that may be used annually for the betterment of student learning. Once developed and tested in a classroom setting in our four pilot schools, the units will be made available to other partner schools in NH and VT and finally to any school wishing to adopt them. In addition, A STEM rural educator network, through which crosscutting units may be disseminated and teachers may share and support each other, will be created to enhance the teachers ability to network, seek advice, share information, etc.

项目概要 STEM 领域的就业需求增长速度是非 STEM 领域就业需求的两倍 过去十年，使教育下一代科学成为全国性的重要问题， 工程和科学过程。特别需要对学生进行 STEM 教育 在低收入农村社区尤为明显，其中： i) 学生可能认为 STEM 学习已经 与他们的生活无关； ii) 与 STEM 相关的资源和基础设施（如果有的话）很少 在他们的学校或附近地区可以使用； iii) STEM 教师，通常每所学校一名， 经常教授超出其领域专业知识的课程，并且缺乏可以学习和利用的网络 他们可以分享经验。通过拟议的项目，低收入、农村地区的中学教师 社区将与达特茅斯学院的教师、研究生和专业科学合作 蒙特郡科学博物馆的教育工作者为他们的学生开发可持续的 STEM 课程单元 学校。这些交叉单元将包括一系列实践、研究、主动学习和 每年可以使用符合标准的课程来改善学生的学习。一次 在我们的四所试点学校的课堂环境中开发和测试，这些单元将提供给 新罕布什尔州和佛蒙特州的其他合作学校，最后是任何希望收养它们的学校。此外，A STEM 农村教育者网络，通过该网络可以传播跨领域的单元，教师也可以通过该网络 相互分享和支持，将创建以增强教师网络、寻求建议、 共享信息等
