Collaborative Proposal: Duke-NCSU Teaching Fellows in Elementary Education Program

该项目涉及北卡罗来纳州立大学和杜克大学工程学院、研究三角科学和数学伙伴关系以及维克县学校，重点是向不同人群教授物理、工程和数学，包括科学、数学、工程和技术(SMET)中代表性不足的学生、听力障碍学生和以英语为第二语言的学生。整个计划的基本主题通过使用榜样和特殊的教学技巧，鼓励来自SMET中代表性不足的群体的学生。这一主题在招聘GK-12研究员和教授学生方面都得到了强调。模范团队中有很高比例的妇女和来自任职人数不足群体的个人。为团队开发的活动和模块包括：1)实践工程，2)探索小组环境中的工程，3)基本的电力和通信。K-12学校的好处包括将科学、技术和工程主题与数学、阅读和写作相结合的课程。对研究员的好处包括改善沟通技能和自我形象。

This project involving the North Carolina State University and Duke University Colleges of Engineering, the Research Triangle Science and Math Partnership and Wake County Schools focuses on teaching physics, engineering and math to diverse populations including students from underrepresented groups in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET), hearing-impaired students, and students for whom English is a second language. The underlying theme for the entire program provides encouragement to students from groups that are underrepresented in SMET through the use of role models and particular teaching techniques. This theme is emphasized in both the recruitment of GK-12 Fellows and the teaching of students. A high percentage of women and individuals from underrepresented groups comprise the role model teams. Activities and modules developed for use by the teams include: 1) "Hands-on Engineering", 2) exploring engineering in group settings, and 3) basic electricity and communication. Benefits to the K-12 schools include curriculum that integrates science, technology, and engineering topics with math, reading, and writing. Benefits to the Fellows include improved communication skills and self-image.
