Graduate Teaching Opportunities

K-12教育研究生助教(GK-12)摘要建议：#0742551PI：Maarten Chrispeels机构：加州大学圣迭戈分校研究生教学机会计划(GTO)NSF支持的STEM学科：生物学、神经科学、生物医学、海洋生物学、海洋学、地震学、计算科学、生物工程。该提案描述了加州大学圣地亚哥分校、两个主要中学学区、9所高中和埃默里大学(佐治亚州亚特兰大)PRISM计划(以前资助的GK-12项目)之间的一个合作项目，旨在发展研究生/教师合作伙伴关系，将从正在进行的研究实验室活动中获得的新的、鼓舞人心的活动转移到主流高中科学课堂和课后科学与技术俱乐部。这些活动的目的是重振科学教师的活力，刺激代表人数不足的学生进入STEM职业生涯，每年将在研究生教学机会(GTO)期间开展这些活动。GTO模式以高度可见的试点计划(BioBridge)为基础，将涉及许多相同的合作伙伴，并希望清楚地展示基于研究生和科学教师互动的扩大模式的潜在功效。该计划旨在推动加州大学圣迭戈分校研究生培养文化的永久性改变，将K-12教育过程的经验和理解纳入其中；增加K-12教师对尖端科学的知识、对研究的兴趣和基于探究的研究过程；激发学生对STEM教育和职业的兴趣；并在大学研究人员和学校/地区之间建立可持续的交流和合作，以根据课程/标准的要求，增加令人兴奋的科学发现直接进入K-12课堂。该项目的优点在于其目标是通过大学研究人员、他们的研究生和高中科学教师之间的合作，建立富有成效的、持续的跨机构教学实践社区。GTO建立了一种可持续的科学教育模式，以显著增加进入STEM职业道路的学生数量。

Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12)AbstractProposal: # 0742551PI: Maarten ChrispeelsInstitution: University of California San DiegoTitle: Graduate Teaching Opportunity Program (GTO) NSF-supported STEM Disciplines: biology, neurosciences, biomedical, marine biology, oceanography, seismology, computational science, bioengineering. The proposal describes a collaborative project between University of California- San Diego, 2 major secondary school districts, 9 high schools, and the Emory University (Atlanta, GA) PRISM program (a previously funded GK-12 project) to develop graduate / teacher partnerships which will transfer new, inspirational activities derived from ongoing research lab activity into mainstream high school science classrooms and after-school Science & Technology Clubs. Designed to reinvigorate science teachers and stimulate underrepresented students to enter STEM careers, these activities will be developed annually at a Graduate Teaching Opportunity (GTO). The GTO model is based upon the highly visible pilot program (BioBridge) and will involve many of the same partners and hopes to clearly demonstrate the potential efficacy of an up-scaled model based upon the interaction of graduate students and teachers of science. The program seeks to catalyze a permanent alteration of the graduate student training culture at UCSD to include experience with, and understandings of, the K-12 educational process; increasing K-12 teacher knowledge of leading-edge science, interest in research, and the inquiry-based research process; inspiring student interest in STEM educations and careers; and, establishing sustainable communications and collaborations between university researchers and school/districts to increase the flow of exciting science discoveries directly into K-12 classrooms in accordance with curricula/standards dictates. The project merit lies in its goal to establish productive, ongoing inter-institutional communities of teaching practice through collaborations among university researchers, their graduate students, and high school science teachers. GTO establishes a sustainable science education model to dramatically increase numbers of students entering STEM career pathways.
