DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Selected Native communities and schools have established a partnership with Harvard University (under the auspices of the Harvard University Native American Program and Harvard Medical School [HMS]) to create a pilot summer program, "Phase I: Opening the Pipeline for Native High Schools." The Program's major goals are to improve the opportunity for, (1) Native American high school students to engage in science education and pursue careers in the biomedical sciences at leading institutions and, (2) to provide training to their teachers in the content and pedagogical methods of biomedical sciences. The students and teachers will be housed in Cambridge and attend classes at HMS. The program, building upon earlier smaller programs, will consist of two three-week sessions, each accommodating 20 students and 4 teachers. The Native communities will determine the selection of the students, teachers and biomedical science topics. To address the first major goal, the program aims to familiarize students with life at a large urban university (demystify higher education); enhance the students' knowledge of biomedical science through lectures, similar to those they will encounter in college, and through Case-Based Learning (CBL), which demonstrates the relevance of science to real life problems; help students improve their learning skills; challenge students to think explicitly about their future plans, and to raise their sights; and encourage students' later attendance at Harvard Summer School. In addition, students will undertake individual projects, which they will present in a PowerPoint talk in a Final-Day Symposium, and will also devise and present a play. To address the second major goal the program aims to enhance teachers' knowledge base in biomedical science; train teachers in designing and implementing CBL in their classrooms; help teachers analyze their pedagogical methods and incorporate new ones. In addition, a Tribal Professional will attend for one week to lead discussions about the community impact of the specified health-related topic.

描述（由申请人提供）： 选定的土著社区和学校与哈佛大学建立了伙伴关系（在哈佛大学美洲土著人方案和哈佛医学院的主持下），以创建一个试点暑期方案，“第一阶段：为土著高中打开管道。“该方案的主要目标是增加以下方面的机会：（1）美洲土著高中学生在主要机构从事科学教育和追求生物医学科学的职业;（2）为教师提供生物医学科学内容和教学方法方面的培训。学生和教师将被安置在剑桥，并在HMS上课。该计划，建立在早期的小程序，将包括两个为期三周的会议，每个容纳20名学生和4名教师。土著社区将决定学生、教师和生物医学科学主题的选择。为了解决第一个主要目标，该计划旨在让学生熟悉大型城市大学的生活（消除高等教育的神秘感）;通过讲座（类似于他们在大学里会遇到的讲座）和案例学习（CBL）（它展示了科学与真实的生活问题的相关性），增强学生对生物医学科学的认识;帮助学生提高学习技能;鼓励学生明确地思考他们未来的计划，并提高他们的视野;鼓励学生以后参加哈佛暑期学校。此外，学生将承担个人项目，他们将在最后一天的研讨会上以PowerPoint演讲的形式呈现，并设计和呈现一出戏剧。为了解决第二个主要目标，该计划旨在加强教师在生物医学科学方面的知识基础;培训教师在课堂上设计和实施CBL;帮助教师分析他们的教学方法并纳入新方法。此外，一名部落专业人员将参加为期一周的讨论，讨论特定健康相关主题对社区的影响。
