K-12教育研究生教学研究员摘要提案编号：0742434主要提案人：Michael Jacobson机构：U科罗拉多，丹佛标题：转变经验：GK-12研究员的跨学科团队连接教师专业发展，中学实施和国际合作变革经验GK-12建立了一个系统，将提高和加强所选GK的教学和研究，12名研究生。通过包括科学和数学研究员、大学内容教员和中学教师在内的跨学科小组，该项目将创建一个主要基于探究式学习的教学改革和同步更新进程。GK-12研究员，从他们的教师导师的协助下，将作为管道到中学课堂作为课程和教学开发，顾问，导师，内容和研究专家的合作教学伙伴。此外，通过定期视频会议和与参与开发类似项目的中国同事的访问，将建立全球教育理念交流联系。通过参与该项目，GK-12研究员将改变他们对教学和学习的理解，并对他们作为高等教育数学和科学专业人员如何互动产生新的看法，沟通和有效地与大学预科社区合作，以提高P-20数学和科学教育。教师和内容教师将获得数学和科学的学习和研究，他们可以通过基于问题的学习在未来的课堂上应用更好的理解。参与者将亲身体验作为一个团队工作的必要技能。团队成员还将了解中国教育体系的文化差异，以及它与美国教育体系的关系。

GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS IN K-12 EDUCATIONABSTRACTPROPOSAL #: 0742434PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Michael JacobsonINSTITUTION: U Colorado, DenverTITLE: Transforming Experiences: Interdisciplinary Teams of GK-12 Fellows Linking Teacher Professional Development, Middle School Implementation and International CollaborationThe Transforming Experiences GK-12 institutes a system that will enhance and strengthen the teaching and research of the chosen GK-12 graduate fellows. Through interdisciplinary teams, including science and mathematics fellows, university content faculty and middle school teachers, the project will create a process for transformation and simultaneous renewal of instruction based primarily on inquiry-based learning. The GK-12 fellows, with assistance from their faculty mentors, will serve as conduits to middle school classrooms as co-instructional partners for curricular and instructional development, advisors, mentors, and content and research experts. Additionally, global connections with an exchange of educational philosophies will be made as teams participate in regular video-conferences and possible visits with Chinese colleagues involved in developing a similar program.By participating in this program, GK-12 Fellows will transform their understanding of teaching and learning, and leave with a new vision of how they, as higher education mathematics and science professionals, can interact, communicate and work effectively with the pre-collegiate community to improve P-20 mathematics and science education. Teachers and content faculty will gain a better understanding of mathematical and scientific learning and research that they can apply through problem-based learning in their future classrooms. Participants will experience first-hand the necessary skills of working as a team. Team members will also gain an appreciation of the cultural difference of the Chinese educational system, how it relates to the American educational system.
