GK-12: MTU Graduate Teaching Fellows in Copper Country Schools

该项目将密歇根理工大学（MTU）的科学、数学、工程和技术（SMET）研究生安置到铜国中级学区（CCISD）的学校，作为K-12教师的资源顾问。该项目的目标包括：1)改善学校的数学和科学课程；2)提高SMET研究员的沟通和教学技能；3)传播从项目中发展出来的最佳思想和实践。GK-12的成员包括：1)开发科学和数学实验，使学生能够积极参与学科的实践和学习；2)开发家庭数学、家庭科学和家庭计算程序；3)帮助教师应用技术工具；4)分享他们在专业研究领域的特殊兴趣和职业选择。GK-12研究员和合作教师还为75名上半岛K-12数学和科学教师举办了为期两天的暑期实践讲习班。研讨会将以太空漫游为主题，于2001年夏季举行。

This project places science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) graduate students from Michigan Technological University (MTU) into schools of the Copper Country Intermediate School District (CCISD) to serve as resource consultants to K-12 teachers. The goals of the project include: 1) improving mathematics and science programs in the schools, 2) improving the communication and teaching skills for the SMET fellows, and 3) disseminating the best ideas and practices that are evolving from the project. The GK-12 fellows are: 1)developing science and mathematics experiments to enable students to actively engage in doing and learning the subject, 2) developing family math, family science, and family computing programs, 3) helping teachers apply the tools of technology, and 4) sharing their special interests and career options within their major field of study. The GK-12 fellows and cooperating teachers are also hosting a two day hands-on summer workshop for 75 Upper Peninsula K-12 mathematics and science teachers. The workshop will have a space odyssey theme and will be held during the summer of the year 2001.
