Louisiana Tech's Graduate K-12 Teaching Fellows Program

路易斯安那理工大学研究生K-12（GK-12）教学研究员计划将路易斯安那理工大学的应用与自然科学学院、工程与科学学院和教育学院与附近的四个农村学校系统和三个非正式的科学教育组织合作。SciPort互动科学中心，IDEA Place和NASA外展中心，CATALyST（Center for Applied Teaching and Learning to Yield Scientific Thinking）是路易斯安那理工学院的一个区域科学数学教育中心。 研究员与他们的教师合作伙伴一起开发和提供适合年级的模块，将研究员的研究直接带入课堂。 初中生和高中生在学习科学内容和概念的同时，正在对科学家和工程师的工作产生现实和积极的想法。 研究员们正在了解有效的科学教学方法。 向教师和学校提供了必要的技术援助。 每个教学研究员都与一名K-12合作教师合作。 为教学研究员和伙伴教师开设的研讨会课程向教学研究员介绍K-12学校的教学和学习，并向教师和研究员介绍国家认可的课程材料。 与当地博物馆的合作伙伴关系为合作伙伴提供了向学生介绍当地非正式科学教育计划的机会。该计划的更广泛的影响反映在路易斯安那理工大学和周围的学校系统之间开发的增强和扩大的合作伙伴关系，例如他们在教学研究员，合作伙伴教师和大学教师的电子学习社区的参与;以及他们现在有机会参与出版一本新的杂志，K-12科学和数学研究杂志。 该项目部分由生物科学理事会资助。项目名称：路易斯安那理工大学GK-12教学研究员项目机构： 路易斯安那理工大学PI/CoPI：大卫K。作者：米尔斯，琳达L.作者声明：Leslie K.

The Louisiana Tech University Graduate K-12 (GK-12) Teaching Fellows Program partners the Colleges of Applied and Natural Science, Engineering and Science, and Education at Louisiana Tech University with four nearby rural school systems and three informal science education organizations .SciPort Interactive Science Center, The IDEA Place, and the NASA Outreach Center, CATALyST (Center for Applied Teaching and Learning to Yield Scientific Thinking), a regional science math education center housed at Louisiana Tech. The Fellows work with their teacher partners to develop and deliver grade level appropriate modules that bring the Fellows research directly into the classroom. The middle and high school students are developing realistic and positive ideas about what scientists and engineers do at the same time as they learn science content and concepts. The Fellows are gaining an understanding of effective teaching methods in science. The teachers and schools have been provided with needed technical assistance. Each Teaching Fellow is partnered with a K-12 Partner Teacher. A seminar course for Teaching Fellows and Partner Teachers introduces Teaching Fellows to teaching and learning in K-12 schools and introduces both teachers and fellows to nationally recognized curricular materials. Partnerships with local museums provide the partners with opportunities to introduce their students to local informal science education programs. The broader impacts of the program are reflected in the enhanced and expanded collaborative partnerships developed between Louisiana Tech University and surrounding school systems as exemplified by their participation in an electronic learning community of Teaching Fellows, Partner Teachers, and University Faculty; and the opportunities they now have to participation in the publication of a new journal, The Journal of K-12 Research in Science and Mathematics. This project is partially supported by funds from the Directorate for Biological Sciences.Title of Project: The Louisiana Tech University GK-12 Teaching Fellows Program Institution: Louisiana Tech University PI/CoPI: David K.
