Science Education Resources and Equipment Library

我建议启动一个贷款项目，与蒙特利湾地区的职前和在职教师和学校分享科学资源和设备。K-12教师非常需要获得科学设备和支持在教学中使用科学设备。加州圣克鲁斯大学（UCSC）通过其外展部、教育合作中心（EPC）及其自然科学部，有能力增加地区学校对自己科学设备的使用。我在科学、数学、工程和技术教育（PFSMETE）方面的博士后奖学金涉及购买一套基本的科学设备，用于K-12学生的各种环境监测。我提议的这个贷款项目将利用现有的设备，为我在博士后研究期间与之一起从事环境监测项目的教师提供后续支持。它也将作为一个种子项目，为一个更大的大学为基础的设备共享计划。

I propose to initiate a lending program to share science resources and equipment withpre-service and in-service teachers and schools in the Monterey Bay region. K-12 teachershave a great need for access to scientific equipment and for support in using scientificequipment in their teaching. The University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) is wellpositioned to increase the access of regional schools to its own scientific equipmentthrough its outreach wing, the Educational Partnership Center (EPC), and its Division ofNatural Sciences. My Post-doctoral Fellowship in Science, Math, Engineering, andTechnology Education (PFSMETE) involved the acquisition of a basic set of scientificequipment useful for various kinds of environmental monitoring by K-12 students. Thelending program I propose would use this existing equipment to provide follow-up supportfor teachers with whom I worked on environmental monitoring projects during mypost-doctoral fellowship. It would also serve as a seed project for a largeruniversity-based equipment-sharing programs.
