Science First!

K-12教育研究生教学研究员(GK-12)摘要建议：0742364PI：Gordon Anderson机构：东田纳西州立大学(ETSU)标题：科学第一！NSF支持STEM学科：生物科学、化学、计算机科学、教育、数学科学、物理和技术。该项目将建立在ETSU和北区小学之间现有的合作伙伴关系上，北区小学位于田纳西州约翰逊城(人口57,000)的一个较老的社区内。北区小学是一所表现不佳的学校，入学人数不断下降；大约95%的学生获得免费或降价午餐，并面临关闭的风险。相反，这所学校已经被归类为一所标志性的科学和数学学校，并已获得学校董事会的批准，将在北区启动一项令人兴奋的实验，将整个K-5课程以科学为基础。科学至上！GK-12项目旨在加强和扩大东太平洋大学和北区小学之间的合作伙伴关系，从而产生下列成果：研究员和教师将为完整、独立的K-5课程创建课堂材料，该课程以标准为基础，以科学为导向，并以科学为动力；这些材料将接受班级测试、评估、出版并广泛传播；约翰逊市？S统一中学和初中的管理者将与PI、研究员和教师一起计划在6-9年级进行类似的课程修订该项目？S智力成就该项目有可能影响一所招生300人的小学校的每一名学生。预计约有500名在资助金有效期内在校或入读幼稚园的儿童会直接受到新课程的影响。将开发一套完整的课程材料，从而有可能发起一项具有重大全国影响的课程活动，由于由科学驱动的跨学科教育将是其他人可能希望效仿的模式，该项目将使学生沉浸在将受到地方和国家关注的跨学科课程中，家长的参与，在中学层面继续该项目的努力，以及复制和改编的可能性，所有这些都有助于什么？更广泛的影响？项目的一部分。

Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12)AbstractProposal: 0742364PI: Gordon AndersonInstitution: East Tennessee State University (ETSU)Title: Science First! NSF supported STEM disciplines: Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Education, Mathematical Sciences, Physics, and Technology. This project will build upon the existing partnership between ETSU and North Side Elementary, a school located within an older neighborhood in Johnson City, TN (population 57,000). North Side Elementary is a low-performing school with declining enrollment; approximately 95% of the students receive free or reduced price lunches, and was at risk of closure. Instead, the school has been classified as a signature school of science and mathematics, and has received school board approval to launch an exciting experiment to base the entire K-5 curriculum at North Side on Science. The Science First! GK-12 project seeks to strengthen and expand the partnership between ETSU and North Side Elementary leading to the following outcomes: fellows and teachers will create classroom materials for an entire, stand-alone K-5 curriculum that is standards-based, science-driven, and science-motivated; these materials will be class tested, assessed, published, and widely disseminated; and Johnson City?s unified Middle School and Junior High School administrators will work with the PIs, fellows and teachers to plan for similar curricular revision at the 6-9 grade levelsThis project?s Intellectual Merit is the potential to affect every student in a small school with an enrollment of 300. It is expected that about 500 children who are either in school or enter kindergarten during the life of the grant will be directly affected by the new curriculum. A complete set of curricular materials will be developed, leading to the potential to launch a curricular event of large national impact, since interdisciplinary education driven by science will be a model that others might wish to emulate, This projects will immerse students in an interdisciplinary curriculum that will enjoy local and national attention, involvement of parents, efforts to continue the project at the middle school level, and the potential for replication and adaptation, all oh which contribute to ?broader impact? of the project.
