DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Fort Peck Community College (FPCC) seeks to improve the health status of Fort Peck Reservation residents by reducing diabetes and diabetes-related complications in the population. It also seeks to increase the number of American Indians who pursue higher education and careers in the science, health and science education fields. The method for achieving these objectives is to strengthen science and health education in the public schools by integrating diabetes-centered material into the existing curricula. The application requests funding for a five-year project. The focus will be to develop curricula for students in grades K-6. Relevant unit and lesson plans will be developed for each grade and integrated into the existing science and health curricula. New curricula will be developed first in cooperation with the Poplar Elementary School and introduced into classrooms there. It will also be made available to the other four public schools on the Fort Peck Reservation. An advisory committee consisting of project staff, public school educators, health education and care professionals and community/tribal representation will oversee curriculum development and implementation. These individuals will provide input and oversight to the overall project operation and be directly involved in designing and presenting specific program elements. Similarly, FPCC faculty in the science, education and Native Studies areas will consult on program content and activities. For each grade, curricula will be developed that include definition of subject matter, learning objectives, instructional methods and activities, time frames, resources and personnel identification, traditional cultural elements and integration with existing curriculum. Traditional Native American culture, values and knowledge will be incorporated into the curriculum. In addition, FPCC will also identify adult education and training needs, such as teacher and diabetes educator training, that can be met by the College. By the end of the five-year project period, FPCC expects that diabetes-centered curriculum will be adopted as part of the permanent science and health education curriculum in at least three of the five public school districts on the reservation. FPCC will also maintain communication with tribal colleges developing diabetes-centered curricula for the middle and high school levels in an effort to support continued education in this field at the secondary level.

描述（由申请人提供）： 佩克堡社区学院（FPCC）旨在通过减少人口中的糖尿病和糖尿病相关并发症来改善佩克堡保留地居民的健康状况。它还寻求增加在科学、卫生和科学教育领域接受高等教育和从事职业的美洲印第安人的人数。实现这些目标的方法是通过将以糖尿病为中心的材料纳入现有课程，加强公立学校的科学和健康教育。该申请要求为一个为期五年的项目提供资金。重点将是为K-6年级的学生制定课程。将为每个年级制定相关的单元和课程计划，并将其纳入现有的科学和卫生课程。新课程将首先与白杨小学合作制定，并引入那里的教室。它还将提供给佩克堡保留地的其他四所公立学校。一个由项目工作人员、公立学校教育工作者、保健教育和护理专业人员以及社区/部落代表组成的咨询委员会将监督课程的制定和实施。这些人员将为整个项目运营提供投入和监督，并直接参与设计和展示特定的项目元素。同样，FPCC在科学，教育和本土研究领域的教师将就课程内容和活动进行咨询。将为每个年级编制课程，其中包括主题的定义、学习目标、教学方法和活动、时间框架、资源和人员确定、传统文化要素以及与现有课程的结合。传统的美洲原住民文化，价值观和知识将被纳入课程。此外，FPCC还将确定成人教育和培训需求，如教师和糖尿病教育培训，可以由学院满足。到五年项目期结束时，FPCC预计，以糖尿病为中心的课程将在保留地的五个公立学区中至少有三个学区被采纳为永久科学和健康教育课程的一部分。FPCC还将与部落学院保持沟通，为初中和高中制定以糖尿病为中心的课程，以支持中学在这一领域的继续教育。
