K-12 Teacher Development Program

美国社区学院协会（AACC）与独立学院理事会（CIC）和独立学院办公室（OIC）合作，正在开展一个为期三年的项目，以培养本科生对K-12数学和科学教学职业的兴趣，并同时支持K-12教师教授科学和数学。该项目调整了NSF GK-12计划的组成部分，以便在主要的本科院校（包括社区学院）实施。认识到国家需要优秀的科学和数学在K-12学校，AACC，CIC和伊斯兰会议组织及其社区为基础的成员学院正在发展与K-12学校在当地社区的伙伴关系。K-12教师发展（KTD）计划将科学，数学，工程和技术（SMET）大学生作为K-12教室的内容资源和榜样。大学生通过分享他们的知识和技能获得K-12学生的指导和课堂经验; K-12教师为他们的课堂获得内容资源。KTD计划改善了沟通，并培养了K-12教学作为大学生职业的意识，为K-12教师提供课堂帮助和课程丰富，为大学教师提供帮助本科生实施特定学科应用和教学策略的机会，并为K-12学生提供了丰富的SMET学习机会。该计划包括以下组成部分：1）提高大学生对K-12科学，数学，工程和技术教学的认识; 2）K-12，社区学院和四年制大学教师和学校的网络; 3）AACC和CIC合作，为其成员学院提供国家补助金竞争; 4）社区服务奖学金，助学金，小额赠款或课程学分等激励措施，以鼓励学生参与K-12学校; 5）指导关系; 6）K-12和大学教师的专业发展机会; 7）通过出版物、演讲和万维网传播; 8）项目评估

The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), in collaboration with the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and the Independent Colleges Office (OIC), is conducting a three-year project to develop interest in K-12 mathematics and science teaching careers among undergraduate students and concurrently support K-12 faculty teaching science and mathematics. This project adapts components of the NSF GK-12 program for implementation in predominately undergraduate colleges, including community colleges. Recognizing the national need for excellence in science and mathematics in K-12 schools, AACC, CIC, and OIC and their community-based member colleges are developing partnerships with K-12 schools in local communities. The K-12 Teacher Development (KTD) program features science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) college students as content resources and role models in K-12 classrooms. The college students gain mentoring and classroom experiences with K-12 students by sharing their knowledge and skills; the K-12 teachers gain content resources for their classrooms. The KTD program improves communication and fosters awareness of K-12 teaching as a career for college students, offers classroom assistance and curricular enrichment to K-12 teachers, provides opportunities for college faculty to help undergraduate students implement discipline-specific applications and pedagogical strategies, and provides enriched learning opportunities in SMET for K-12 students. The program includes the following components: 1) greater awareness by college students of K-12 instruction in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology; 2) a network of K-12, community college, and four-year college faculty and schools; 3) collaboration by AACC and CIC to offer a national grant competition for their member colleges; 4) incentives such as community service scholarships, stipends, mini-grants, or course credit to encourage student involvement in K-12 schools; 5) mentoring relationships; 6) professional development opportunities for K-12 and college faculty; 7) dissemination through publications, presentations, and the World Wide Web; and 8) program evaluation
