Collaborating to Advance Teaching and Learning of Science Educators and Students (CATALySES)

 描述(由申请人提供)：由佛罗里达大学(UF)的研究人员和佛罗里达州的教育工作者提出，合作推进科学教育工作者和学生的教与学(催化剂)，以利用SEPA生成的基础设施、合作伙伴关系和评估工具创建和/或扩大互惠的、可持续的学习者社区。催化剂建立在脚手架专业发展、教师和研究人员合作的新模式，以及NIH-SEPA结束的项目成果--生物医学研究中的探索：从工作台到床边。与国家科学技术理事会科学、技术、工程和数学教育委员会(COSTEM)的目标一致，CACTERS的总体目标是培养新的和更新/更新有经验的教师，与教师合作激励学生并为他们走向科学和健康相关劳动力的连续道路做好准备，并为STEM和健康职业生涯中代表性明显不足的有积极性的高中生提供真实的STEM经验和机会。Catalyst建议为教师建立能力和机会，让他们与农村和市中心的学校合作，这些教师准备充分并兴奋地创建和分享围绕新兴病原体的互动课程和活动，这是一个对佛罗里达州的健康、社会和经济福祉具有高度重要性的跨学科主题。它计划通过生物医学研究经验培养教师带头人；支持编写、测试和出版创新的传统和技术改进的课程；与职前教师建立联系；与研究人员继续互动，并与区域学习者及其学生社区建立网络。对于这项提议，催化剂也是新的，它将为老师发现并鼓励他们参加的服务不足的高中生提供基于实验室的暑期项目和研究经验。UF的合作伙伴是大学前教育和培训中心(CPET)、新兴病原体研究所(EPI)、临床与转化科学研究所(CTSI)和教学与学习学院(STL)，以及来自卫生科学中心(HSC)的合作研究人员。高中科学教育合作伙伴是佛罗里达州的三个农村教育联盟，分别位于狭长地带(PAEC)、佛罗里达东北部(NEFEC)和哈特兰，以及棕榈滩和迈阿密-戴德学校，为在科学和卫生领域代表不足的大量学生提供服务。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Collaborating to Advance Teaching and Learning of Science Educators and Students (CATALySES) is proposed by the University of Florida (UF) researchers and Florida educators to create and/or expand mutually beneficial, sustainable communities of learners using SEPA- generated infrastructure, partnerships, and evaluation tools. CATALySES build on a novel model of scaffolded professional development, teacher-researcher partnerships, and outcomes of an ending NIH-SEPA project, Explorations in Biomedical Research: Bench to Bedside. Aligned with the goals of the National Science and Technology Council Committee on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Education (CoSTEM), the overall objectives of CATALySES are to prepare new and update/renew experienced teachers, partner with teachers to inspire and prepare students for the continuum of paths to the science and health-related workforce, and to provide authentic STEM experiences and opportunities for motivated high school students significantly under-represented in STEM and Health careers. CATALySES proposes to build capacity and opportunities for teachers in collaborating rural and inner city schools who are well-prepared and excited to create and share interactive lessons and activities centered around Emerging Pathogens, an interdisciplinary topic of high importance to Florida's health, social and economic well-being. It plans to develop teacher- leaders through biomedical research experiences; support in writing, testing and publishing innovative traditional and technology-enhanced curricula; links with pre-service teachers; and continued interactions with researchers networked with regional communities of learners and their students. Also new to this proposal, CATALySES will provide summer laboratory-based programs and research experiences for underserved high school students identified and encouraged by their teachers to attend. The UF partners are the Center for Precollegiate Education and Training (CPET), the Emerging Pathogens Institute (EPI), the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), and the School of Teaching and Learning (STL), with collaborating researchers from across the Health Science Center (HSC). The high school science education partners are Florida's three rural Education Consortia in the Panhandle Area (PAEC), Northeast Florida (NEFEC), and the Heartlands, along with Palm Beach and Miami-Dade schools serving high numbers of students underrepresented in the science and health fields.
