Being Me

项目总结 儿童国家医学中心(儿童)，乔治华盛顿大学医学院 和哥伦比亚特区教育与人类发展研究生院(GWUSOM/GSEHD) 公立学校(DCPS)和乔治王子郡公立学校(PGCPS)与国家 儿童博物馆(NCM)提出了一项为期五年的I/II期国家环保总局项目，名为“做我”。这个项目将 创建新的以艺术为基础的互动项目，以增强基于完整选项的生物医学课程 四年级学生的科学系统(FOSS)。这项计划将在三个基础上实施 有六个四年级班级的学校，为低收入和低识字率的儿童提供服务，并在医院诊所和 活动空间。我们的五个重点领域包括哮喘、伤害预防、肥胖、睡眠和镰状细胞疾病， 其中每一项都对少数族裔人群构成了特殊的严重健康风险，并代表了NIH资助的 儿科教员正在进行的临床研究。NCM《做我自己》互动展品及相关艺术 节目将纳入五个重点中的每一个。课堂课程将包括教学单元、网络 与自由和开放源码软件教学单位相联系的艺术项目，以及与国家管理委员会共同开展的活动。 四项以医院为基础的活动将进一步扩大我们的计划。我们将建立Dr.Bear(R)的夏季培训 当地小学教师研究所，他们将直接与儿童科学家、临床医生、临床医生合作 研究和艺术治疗工作人员，以促进和支持进一步传播课程和方案 在三所试点学校之外。我们还将建立Dr.Bear(R)幼崽的夏季科学体验 并与家长教师协会(PTA)和社区团体合作，以 在儿童和NCM设立健康和科学之夜，在受过志愿者培训的大学和高中 学校的学生将“指导”学生、病人和家庭。此外，我们将为DC、PGC提供机会 以及特许学校领导人和非营利性的以学校为重点的社区团体，以及其他组织 Bear‘s(R)University，这是一个迷你实习项目，旨在允许参与者花时间与 临床和研究人员，亲身体验儿科保健。 我们的计划将利用GSEHD的教职员工、教师和健康教育工作者的才华， NCM的创意博物馆教育工作者、儿童和我们新的生物医学和研究人员 地平线艺术节目。这项提议的主要目的是发展一个跨教育的环境， 四年级加强健康科学教育和健康意识及成果的课程。这个 该计划将提高儿童和家长对健康相关行为的理解，为儿童提供 在健康科学项目中的实践经验，并为教师提供工具，将健康科学融入 现有课程。长期目标包括为社区提供直接接触临床和 翻译科学，将改善与健康有关的行为，并鼓励学生和家长 考虑一下与健康科学相关的职业。

PROJECT SUMMARY Children's National Medical Center (Children's), the George Washington University Schools of Medicine and the Graduate School of Education and Human Development (GWUSOM/GSEHD), the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) and Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS) in collaboration with the National Children's Museum (NCM) propose a five-year phase I/II SEPA project entitled "Being Me." This project will create novel art-based interactive projects to enhance the biomedical curriculum based on the Full Option Science System (FOSS) for 4th grade students. This program will be implemented at three elementary schools with six 4th grade classes that serve low income and low literacy children and in hospital clinics and events space. Our five focus areas include asthma, injury prevention, obesity, sleep and sickle cell disease, each of which presents a particular critical health risk to minority populations and represents NIH funded clinical research being performed by Children's faculty. NCM's "Being Me" interactive exhibits and related art programming will incorporate each of the five foci. Classroom curricula will include instructional units, web based activities, art projects linked to the FOSS instructional units, and activities developed with the NCM. Four hospital-based activities will further expand our program. We will establish Dr. Bear's(R) Summer Training Institute for local elementary school teachers who will work directly with Children's scientists, clinicians, clinical research and art therapy staff to facilitate and support the further dissemination of curricula and programs beyond the three pilot schools. We will also establish Dr. Bear's(R) Cubs Summer Science Experience for elementary school children and work with the Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) and community groups to establish Health and Science Nights at both Children's and NCM where trained volunteer college and high school students will "mentor" students, patients and families. Further, we will offer the opportunity for DC, PGC and charter school leaders and not for profit school-focused community groups, among others, to participate in Dr. Bear's(R) University, a mini-internship program designed to allow participants to spend time on rotations with clinical and research faculty for an intimate experience of pediatric health care. Our program will draw on the talents of faculty at the GSEHD, teachers and health educators, the creative museum educators of the NCM, faculty and biomedical and research staff of Children's and our New Horizons art program. The primary aim of this proposal is to develop a cross-educational setting, integrated curricula to enhance health science education and health awareness and outcomes in the 4th grade. The program will improve children's and parents understanding of health related behavior, provide children with hands-on experience in health science projects, and provide teachers with tools to integrate health science into existing curricula. Long term goals include providing the community with direct exposure to clinical and translational science which will improve health-related behavior and encourage students and parents to consider health-science related careers.
