Rocky Mountain Summer Research Education Experience

项目摘要 落基山夏季研究教育经验（RMSREE）计划将填补 迫切需要增加丹佛地区高中的STEM知识和理解 教师，加强他们任教的K-12教育机构的STEM内容 并最终导致更多的参与和更好的生物医学科学培训 研究人员。 RMSREE计划的主要目标是：1）提供实质性的研究培训， 个性化的学术准备和职业指导，以大大提高技能的 RMSREE教师参与者，研究教育研究员; 2）招募多样化的 致力于将他们的研究经验转化为增强STEM的研究员 在课堂上接受教育，并为他们提供专业发展机会， 有效地弥合研究环境和HS STEM教室之间的差距;以及3） 继续创造和维持CU丹佛和当地高之间的长期联系 学校将改善HS教师的STEM教育，并提供STEM 管道为他们的学生进入生物医学成像，生物工程，和健康 信息学专业。RMSREE计划对性能有很高的期望（95% 的参与者在第一年结束时增加了重要的STEM内容，80%的参与者在第一年结束时增加了重要的STEM内容， 在该计划实施后的五年内保持这一水平）。实现这些 雄心勃勃的成果，我们将招募一批高度承诺，雄心勃勃的候选人， 让他们参与一系列以有意义的研究为中心的综合活动 经验，但也通过个性化的反馈， 专业发展计划（PDP），每周一次的系列研讨会，以及实验室培训 文化和负责任的研究行为。这将培养参与者的研究技能， STEM内容的知识和理解，以及促进他们的进步，成为 更有效的STEM教师小组活动将有助于培养一批受训人员 他们将在整个职业生涯中继续相互支持， 成功RMSREE计划每年将为六名研究员提供服务，总共有三十名受训人员 在5年的项目期间，这将反过来影响数百名学生在 项目后的几年。

Project Summary The Rocky Mountain Summer Research Education Experience (RMSREE) Program will fill a critical need to increase the STEM knowledge and understanding of Denver area high school teachers, enhancing the STEM content in the K-12 educational agencies in which they teach and ultimately resulting in increased participation and better training of the biomedical sciences research workforce. The main goals of the RMSREE program are: 1) to provide substantive research training, individualized academic preparation, and career guidance to strongly enhance the skills of the RMSREE teacher participants, Research Education Fellows; 2) to recruit a diverse set of Fellows who are committed to translating their research experience into enhanced STEM education in their classrooms and provide them with professional development opportunities to effectively bridge the gap between the research setting and the HS STEM classroom; and 3) to continue to create and sustain long-term connections between CU Denver and local high schools that will improve the STEM education of HS teachers as well as provide a STEM pipeline for their students to enter into the biomedical imaging, bioengineering, and health informatics professions. The RMSREE program holds high expectations for performance (95% of participants adding significant STEM content by the end of their first year and 80% maintaining that level over the five-year period following the program). To achieve these ambitious outcomes we will recruit cohorts of highly-committed, ambitious candidates and engage them in an integrated set of activities, centered around meaningful research experiences, but also augmented with mentoring through individualized feedback on professional development plans (PDPs), a weekly seminar series, and training in laboratory culture and the responsible conduct of research. This will build participants' research skills and STEM content knowledge and understanding as well as promote their progression to become more effective STEM teachers. Group activities will contribute to building a cadre of trainees who will continue to support each other throughout their careers to optimize professional success. The RMSREE program will serve six Fellows each year, for a total of thirty trainees over the 5-year project period, which will in turn impact many hundreds of their students in the years following the project.
