HEALTH SCIENCE GUIDES--PHASE I

这是一个第一阶段的建议，以制定一个由三部分组成的计划，在健康 小学和中学高年级学生的科学（第四至第八年级 教师和他们的老师。 该计划将包括（1） 发展一致的智力令人兴奋的动手课程， 人类健康科学旨在应用最先进的技术 将现代细胞、分子生物学和生理学的概念， 疾病预防（身体工程），（2）一个从事适龄儿童- 以流行病学为中心的计划（疾病侦探），以及（3） 招募和培训健康科学指导（HSG）， 学校工作人员帮助介绍健康科学概念，协助 校内、课后和暑期丰富活动， 支持教师，并作为变革促进者。HSG将是 从医学，公共卫生， 和埃默里大学护理学院，莫尔豪斯学院 医学，疾病控制中心，以及合格的 来自当地医院和健康相关公司的专业人员 实体. HSG将承诺每月至少6小时的培训 在当地的小学和中学服务，包括最初的 探索科学教学方法的方向，适用于 健康科学，每月90分钟的晚间研讨会，最后两个- 分析和评估。 将分配HSG 个人或团队前往亚特兰大三大都市之一的学校 学校系统：亚特兰大，迪卡尔布县，或迪凯特市，以帮助 组织和领导各种健康科学项目，包括 课后健康科学俱乐部，周六学院，课堂参观， 夏令营和工作人员发展讲习班。 HSG还将提供 为本科生提供健康科学方面的培训和指导- 小学科学教育合作伙伴计划的合作伙伴。

This is a phase 1 proposal to develop a three-part program in health sciences for upper-level elementary and middle-school children (4th-8th graders) and their teachers. The program will consist of (1) a developmentally aligned intellectually exciting hands-on curriculum in the human health sciences designed to apply state-of-the-art technology to link modern concepts of cell and molecular biology and physiology to disease prevention (Body-works), (2) an engaging age-appropriate child- centered program in epidemiology (Disease Detectives), and (3) recruitment and training of Health Science Guides (HSGs) to work with school personnel to help introduce health-science concepts, assist with in-school, after-school, and summer enrichment activities, provide support for teachers, and serve as change facilitators. HSGs will be recruited from among students and faculty of the Medical, Public Health, and Nursing Schools of Emory University, the Morehouse School of Medicine, and the Centers for Disease Control, as well as qualified professionals from local hospitals and health-related corporate entities. HSGs will commit a minimum of six hours per month of training and service in local elementary and middle schools, including an initial orientation in inquiry-science pedagogical approaches as applied to the health sciences, a monthly 90-minute evening seminar, and a final two- hour session for analysis and evaluation. HSGs will be assigned individually or in teams to a school in one of the three metro-Atlanta school systems: Atlanta, DeKalb County, or Decatur City, to help organize and lead a variety of health science programs, including afterschool health science clubs, Saturday academies, classroom visits, summer camps, and staff development workshops. HSGs will also provide training and mentoring in health science for the undergraduate science- partners of the Elementary Science Education Partners program.
