Phase I: Opening the Pipeline for Native High Schools

选定的土著社区和学校与哈佛大学建立了伙伴关系(根据 哈佛大学美国原住民项目和哈佛医学院[HMS]的赞助) 创建一个试点暑期项目，“第一阶段：为本土高中开通管道”。该计划的 主要目标是改善机会，(1)美洲原住民高中生参与 在领先的机构进行科学教育和从事生物医学科学的职业，以及，(2)提供 对教师进行生物医学科学内容和教学方法方面的培训。学生们 教师将被安置在剑桥，并在HMS上课。该计划建立在早先的基础上 较小的课程将包括两个为期三周的课程，每个课程可容纳20名学生和4名学生 老师们。原住民社区将决定学生、教师和生物医学的选择 科学话题。为了达到第一个主要目标，该计划旨在让学生在更大范围内熟悉生活 城市大学(揭开高等教育的神秘面纱)；提高学生的生物医学知识 通过类似于他们在大学里遇到的讲座，以及通过基于案例的学习(CBL)， 它展示了科学与现实生活问题的相关性；帮助学生提高学习水平 技能；挑战学生清楚地思考他们未来的计划，并提高他们的视野；以及鼓励 学生后来在哈佛暑期学校的出勤率。此外，学生们还将承担个人 项目，他们将在最后一天的研讨会的PowerPoint演讲中展示这些项目，并将设计和 上演一出戏。为了解决第二个主要目标，该计划旨在增强教师的知识基础 在生物医学科学方面；培训教师在课堂上设计和实施CBL；帮助教师 分析他们的教学方法，并吸收新的方法。此外，还将有一名部落专业人员参加 为期一周，就特定健康相关话题对社区的影响进行讨论。

Selected Native communities and schools have established a partnership with Harvard University (under the auspices of the Harvard University Native American Program and Harvard Medical School [HMS]) to create a pilot summer program, "Phase I: Opening the Pipeline for Native High Schools." The Program's major goals are to improve the opportunity for, (1) Native American high school students to engage in science education and pursue careers in the biomedical sciences at leading institutions and, (2) to provide training to their teachers in the content and pedagogical methods of biomedical sciences. The students and teachers will be housed in Cambridge and attend classes at HMS. The program, building upon earlier smaller programs, will consist of two three-week sessions, each accommodating 20 students and 4 teachers. The Native communities will determine the selection of the students, teachers and biomedical science topics. To address the first major goal, the program aims to familiarize students with life at a large urban university (demystify higher education); enhance the students' knowledge of biomedical science through lectures, similar to those they will encounter in college, and through Case-Based Learning (CBL), which demonstrates the relevance of science to real life problems; help students improve their learning skills; challenge students to think explicitly about their future plans, and to raise their sights; and encourage students' later attendance at Harvard Summer School. In addition, students will undertake individual projects, which they will present in a PowerPoint talk in a Final-Day Symposium, and will also devise and present a play. To address the second major goal the program aims to enhance teachers' knowledge base in biomedical science; train teachers in designing and implementing CBL in their classrooms; help teachers analyze their pedagogical methods and incorporate new ones. In addition, a Tribal Professional will attend for one week to lead discussions about the community impact of the specified health-related topic.
