K-12教育的研究生教学研究员#：0742434 PRINCIPAL调查员：Michael Jacobson INSTUTION：U Colorado，DenverTITLE：Transating Experience：GK-12研究员的跨学科团队将教师专业发展、中学实施和国际合作联系起来GK-12的转型经验GK-12建立了一个系统，将增强和加强选定的GK-12研究生研究员的教学和研究。通过包括科学和数学研究员、大学课程教员和中学教师在内的跨学科团队，该项目将创建一个主要基于探究性学习的教学转型和同步更新的过程。GK-12研究员在其教师导师的帮助下，将作为中学课堂的管道，作为课程和教学发展的共同指导伙伴、顾问、导师以及内容和研究专家。此外，团队将定期参加视频会议，并可能与参与开发类似项目的中国同事进行访问，从而建立与教育理念交流的全球联系。通过参与该项目，GK-12研究员将改变他们对教与学的理解，并带着一个新的愿景离开，即作为高等教育数学和科学专业人员，他们如何能够与大学前社区有效地互动、沟通和合作，以改善P-20数学和科学教育。教师和教学人员将更好地了解数学和科学的学习和研究，他们可以在未来的课堂上通过基于问题的学习来应用这些学习和研究。参与者将亲身体验团队合作的必要技能。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.
