PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) proposes a teacher education initiative, 'Teaching the Genome Generation' (TtGG), to provide pre-service high school teachers the content knowledge, teaching strategies, and resources needed to enhance student learning in genomics, bioethics, and bioinformatics, with an emphasis on math and data literacy. Our pre-professional development program will provide instruction in the molecular genetics of personalized medicine, use of bioinformatics tools, incorporating statistics and data analysis, and discussion of the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) surrounding genetics research. In collaboration with partners in higher education, up to 32 pre-service teachers per year will participate in a hands-on short course. Pre-service teachers will also have the opportunity to engage with and practice teaching our curriculum through instructional methods coursework and student teaching/internships. Our innovative approach weaves three learning strands—molecular genetics, bioinformatics and bioethics—together within the context of the Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core Math Standards. The TtGG team will expand dissemination of our content and short course through significant enhancement of our online resources. A pilot online course will be launched in late 2020, and a full online program with additional resources accessible through a newly designed TtGG public facing website will be completed and released by the first quarter of 2022. To evaluate the impact of the short course, evaluators will administer pre and post surveys to pre-service teacher participants on genetics, genomics and bioinformatics content knowledge, teacher self-efficacy, and confidence. Evaluators will also conduct small scale efficacy studies to examine the impact of the TtGG materials on students': a) content knowledge of genetics, genomics, and applications of mathematics; b) confidence engaging in genomics concepts, lab activities, and math problems; c) interest in engaging in additional genomics-related behavior, including academic and career pursuits; and d) ability to explain how and why math skills are required for practicing life sciences. By training pre-service educators, TtGG will execute on NIH's goal of strengthening the future STEM workforce through increasing genomic and health literacy.

项目摘要/摘要 杰克逊实验室（JAX）提出了一项教师教育计划，“教基因组一代” （ttgg），为职业前高中教师提供内容知识，教学策略和资源 需要增强基因组学，生物伦理学和生物信息学方面的学生学习，重点是数学和 数据素养。我们的专业发展计划将提供有关分子遗传学的指导 个性化医学，使用生物信息学工具，合并统计和数据分析以及讨论 围绕遗传学研究的道德，法律和社会含义（ELSI）。与合作伙伴合作 高等教育，每年最多32名职前教师将参加动手简短课程。前职 教师还将有机会通过教学来与我们的课程教学和实践 方法课程和学生教学/实习。我们的创新方法编织了三个学习 链 - 分子遗传学，生物信息学和生物伦理学 - 在下一代的背景下 科学标准和通用核心数学标准。 TTGG团队将扩大我们内容的传播 以及通过大量增强我们的在线资源的简短课程。将启动一门飞行员在线课程 在2020年底，以及一个完整的在线计划，可以通过新设计的TTGG访问其他资源 公共面向网站将在2022年第一季度完成并发布。评估 简短的课程，评估人员将对遗传学前的教师参与者进行调查前和后的调查， 基因组学和生物信息学知识，教师的自我效能和自信。评估人员也将 进行小规模效率研究以检查TTGG材料对学生的影响：a）内容 了解数学的遗传学，基因组学和应用； b）从事基因组学的信心 概念，实验室活动和数学问题； c）有兴趣从事其他基因组学相关行为， 包括学术和职业追求； d）能够解释如何以及为什么需要数学技能的能力 实用的生活科学。通过培训职前教育者，TTGG将执行NIH的目标 未来的STEM劳动力通过提高基因组和健康素养。
