The UNC Charlotte and Phillip O Berry Academy of Technology Cooperative: Graduate Resources for a Technology Academy

北卡罗莱纳大学夏洛特分校和位于夏洛特-梅克伦堡学校内的一所新高中菲利普o贝瑞技术学院正在联合开展一系列活动，使科学、工程、计算机科学和数学研究生成为高中课堂上的资源人员，并使课堂上的教师能够有效地与他们合作。北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校的教职员工每年夏天为研究员和合作的高中教师提供为期8天的研讨会。参加贝瑞学院的教师和选定的GK-12研究员每年夏天担任新一批研究员和教师的研讨会负责人。这些研讨会的重点是在K-12学校工作的政策法规、学校安全和教学法指导，并包括一个课程排序指南，该指南与北卡罗来纳标准学习课程一致，适用于随后秋季学期教授的课程。在学年期间，由北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校教师教授的每周研讨会根据顺序指南为每门课程开发特定的科学和数学探究性活动。每个受影响的高中数学和科学课程都按主题组织，涉及四个项目：科学的本质，作为探究的科学，科学和技术，以及社会和个人视角的科学。研究员在科学探究教学、使用国家科学基金会支持的研究型数学材料以及在教学中整合技术方面接受特殊准备。有许多广泛的影响。在三年的行动中，超过4800名高中生（约82%是少数民族）和超过25名高中教师将直接或间接受到影响。此外，这些活动不仅仅包括课堂作业。正在提供一个网站，作为大学数学和科学教员、项目工作人员和高中数学和科学教师和学生之间的渠道。这个网站是一个发布问题和答案的论坛，是关于计划项目活动的信息来源，也是数据库共享的资源。广泛的教师受益，因为合作的高中教师正在为贝里技术学院的其他教师提供资源，并与研究员一起在学年期间开发和教授两个针对特定地区的为期一天的讲习班。此外，正在编写一份针对年级的活动手册，分发给贝里学院的所有教师。这个项目的部分支持来自数学和物理科学理事会。项目名称：北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校和菲利普·奥贝里技术学院合作：技术学院毕业生资源机构：北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校PI/Co-PI：大卫·罗伊斯特，詹姆斯·里昂斯（北卡罗来纳大学），大卫·巴尔迪亚，黛博拉·拉姆齐（贝里技术学院）合作学区：菲利普·奥贝里技术学院，夏洛特-梅克伦堡资助：3年总计1,411,841美元研究员人数/年：10名研究生设置：城市目标受众：9-12个NSF支持学科：数学、生物学、化学、工程学、计算机科学

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology, a new high school located within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, are jointly creating a series of activities that prepare science, engineering and computer science, and mathematics graduate students to act as resource persons in high school classrooms and the teachers in those classrooms to work effectively with them. UNC Charlotte faculty serve as the instructional staff for eight-day workshops each summer for the Fellows and cooperating high school teachers. Participating Berry Academy teachers and selected GK-12 Fellows serve as workshop leaders each summer for new cohorts of Fellows and teachers. These workshops focus on policy regulations for working in K-12 schools, school safety, and pedagogy instruction, and include a curriculum-sequencing guide that is aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for the courses being taught the subsequent fall semester. During the academic year weekly seminars taught by UNC Charlotte faculty develop specific inquiry-based activities in science and mathematics for each course according to the sequencing guide. Each high school mathematics and science course affected is organized thematically addressing four program strands: the nature of science, science as inquiry, science and technology, and science in social and personal perspectives. The Fellows receive special preparation in teaching science as inquiry, in the use of NSF supported, research-based mathematics materials, and in the integration of technology in instruction. There are numerous broad impacts. Over the three years of its action more than 4800 high school students (approximately 82% minority) and over 25 high school teachers will be directly or indirectly impacted. In addition the activities encompass more than just classroom work. A website is being provided as a conduit between university mathematics and science faculty, project staff and high school mathematics and science teachers and students. This site acts as a forum for posting questions and answers, as a source of information concerning scheduled project activities, and as a resource for database sharing. A broad spectrum of teachers are benefiting as the cooperating high school teachers are serving as resource persons for other teachers at Berry Academy of Technology and, along with the Fellows, are developing and teaching two area-specific day long workshops during the school year. In addition, a grade-specific activity book is being developed for distribution to all Berry Academy teachers. Part of the support for this project comes from the Directorate for Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
