These activities build upon an existing collaboration between 1998, Yale University's Peabody Museum of Natural History and the New Haven Public School (NHPS) District, the Peabody Teachers Program, a professional development program. Participating teachers produce inquiry-based science curricula that use Peabody Museum specimens in the mobile BioAction Lab for hands-on exploration of biological diversity and its impacts on human affairs. This draws on the expertise and materials resident in Yale's Peabody Museum, and provides stimulating subject matter upon which basic science competencies can be developed. The project proposed here is designed to build upon the already-existing strengths of the Peabody Teachers Program to enhance the professional development of middle school teachers and Yale graduate students, as well as to enrich the science-learning environment for New Haven middle school students. The Fellows work closely with participating teachers throughout the year to provide technical assistance as they develop curriculum units, in part to help ensure the scientific accuracy of the content. Working with the teachers and with children in their classrooms improves the science communication skills of the Graduate Fellows. Training and on-site supervision of the Graduate Fellows is provided by the PIs, by the staff of the program, and by the Yale Teacher Preparation Program. In addition, Master Peabody Teachers serve as mentors for pedagogical and classroom management techniques. All curriculum units designed in connection with this program are being incorporated into the middle school science curriculum and will also be disseminated broadly via the Peabody Museum's website. All aspects of the program are overseen by an Advisory Council and a Working Committee, including evaluations of the efficacy of the program. The broader impacts of the project affect a spectrum of beneficiaries. Participating teachers are increasing their scientific knowledge and developing new content-rich curricula. Their students (90% minority, 50% female, 75% on subsidized lunch programs) are benefiting from exposure to scientific subject matter and approaches of relevance to their daily lives, as well as to new role models. Yale graduate students are directly exposed to educational issues at the middle school level, and to the challenges of communicating the wonder of nature and the excitement and importance of science. This initiative strengthens Yale University's graduate programs and its commitment to providing resources for the enhancement of science education in the local school system.

这些活动建立在1998年之间的现有合作基础上，耶鲁大学的皮博迪自然历史博物馆和纽黑文公立学校（NHPS）区，Peabody教师计划，专业发展计划。 参与的教师生产基于询问的科学课程，该课程在移动生物学实验室中使用Peabody博物馆标本来动手探索生物多样性及其对人类事务的影响。 这借鉴了耶鲁大学皮博迪博物馆居住的专业知识和材料，并提供了可以开发基础科学能力的刺激性主题。 此处提出的项目旨在基于Peabody教师计划已经存在的优势，以增强中学教师和耶鲁大学研究生的专业发展，并丰富了纽黑文中学生的科学学习环境。 研究员全年与参与的教师紧密合作，以提供技术援助在开发课程单元时提供技术援助，部分原因是确保内容的科学准确性。 与老师和教室里的孩子一起工作可以提高研究生研究员的科学沟通技巧。 PIS，计划的工作人员以及耶鲁教师准备计划提供了研究生研究生的培训和现场监督。此外，Peabody Master教师是教学和课堂管理技术的导师。 与该计划相关的所有课程单元都将纳入中学科学课程中，并且还将通过Peabody Museum的网站广泛传播。 该计划的所有方面均由咨询委员会和工作委员会监督，包括对该计划疗效的评估。 该项目的更广泛影响会影响一系列受益人。 参与的教师正在增加他们的科学知识，并开发新的内容丰富的课程。 他们的学生（90％的少数民族，50％的女性，75％的补贴午餐计划）受益于对科学主题和与日常生活相关的方法以及与新榜样的相关方法。 耶鲁大学的研究生在中学一级直接遇到教育问题，以及传达自然奇观以及科学兴奋和重要性的挑战。 这项倡议增强了耶鲁大学的研究生课程，并致力于为在当地学校系统中增强科学教育的资源提供资源。职位：耶鲁大学生物多样性机构的耶鲁大学研究生教学研究员：耶鲁大学，皮博迪大学自然历史学院伙伴：纽黑文公共Publicpi：Michael J.
