GK-12 UMBC Teaching Enhancement Partnership Project

UMBC加强教学合作项目(TEPP)将组织和领导与5所当地高需求中学的大学-中学合作伙伴关系，以支持和加强大巴尔的摩地区代表性不足的中学青年的数学和科学教学。将从密歇根大学招收25名信息系统、计算机科学、工程、数学和自然科学专业的研究生和高级本科生。五所中学将分别安排一名研究生和五名本科生，在课堂和合作课程活动中为教师提供支持。参与的教师将在教学和课堂管理方面向研究员提供领导，使他们在K-12公立学校系统中获得教学回报。教师亦会参与持续和持续的专业发展工作，以加深他们对数学和科学概念的理解，并透过大学校董会主办的研讨会和课程，向他们介绍资讯科技和探究式教学。将重点放在信息技术(IT)作为加强科学和数学教与学的工具。

The UMBC Teaching Enhancement Partnership Project (TEPP) will organize and lead a university-middle school partnership with 5 local, high-needs middle schools in order to support and enhance mathematics and science instruction of underrepresented middle school youth in the greater Baltimore area. Twenty-five graduate and advanced undergraduate student Fellows with majors in information systems, computer science, engineering, mathematics, and natural sciences will be recruited and selected from UMBC. One graduate student and five undergraduate students will be placed in each of the five middle schools to support teachers in the classroom and in co-curricular activities. Participating teachers will provide leadership to Fellows in instruction and classroom management, exposing them to the rewards of teaching in the K-12 public school system. Teachers will also participate in a continuous and sustained professional development efforts designed to enhance their understanding of mathematics and science concepts, and to introduce them to IT and inquiry-based instruction through UMBC sponsored seminars and courses. An emphasis will be placed on information technology (IT) as a tool for the enhancement of teaching and learning in science and mathematics.
