项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract Authentic residential research experiences form a cornerstone of NeuroLab, an informal science education (ISE) project that bridges developmental neuroscience and comparative genomics, and provides novel opportunities for high school students to identify new molecular genetic tools to study nervous system connectivity. These advanced ISE experiences unfold during residential summer institutes hosted at our biosciences laboratory with small cohorts of predominantly female students. The proposed effort is intended to scale the positive educational impacts of the NeuroLab pilot project by connecting significantly larger numbers of high school students, particularly those from traditionally underserved groups, to successful elements of this advanced learning experience. To this end, the project places high school teachers at the center of three highly collaborative work aims involving an exceptionally diverse group of science professionals. In the earliest phase of the project, teachers will work with neuroscientists, curriculum experts, and NGSS specialists on curriculum revisions that conform to evidence-based best practices. Curriculum strategies and products that emerge from this phase will be used to support in-depth professional development (PD) instruction. PD is aimed at promoting subject mastery, technical proficiency, and transformative changes in teaching practices that translate into positive learning outcomes during enactment of an authentic, course-based research experience for high school students.

项目摘要/摘要真实的住宅研究经历构成了Neurolab的基石，Neurolab是非正式的科学教育（ISE）桥接发展性神经科学和比较基因组学的项目，并提供了新颖的高中生可以识别新的分子遗传工具来研究神经系统的机会连接性。这些高级ISE体验在我们的住宅夏季学院中展开生物科学实验室，主要是女学生。拟议的努力是为了通过明显更大高中生，尤其是从传统服务不足的小组到成功的学生人数这种高级学习经验的要素。为此，该项目将高中老师置于三个高度协作工作的中心涉及一个异常多样的科学群体专业人士。在该项目的最早阶段，教师将与神经科学家，课程专家合作，和NGSS专家对符合证据最佳实践的课程修订。课程从此阶段出现的策略和产品将用于支持深入的专业人员开发（PD）指令。 PD旨在促进主题掌握，技术水平和教学实践的变革性变化，这些实践转化为颁布期间积极学习成果为高中生提供基于课程的真实，基于课程的研究经验。
