This proposal describes a Track 1 GK-12 project developed by the University of Texas El Paso and the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD). The goal of the program is to transform the cognitive level of learning in middle school science classrooms, enhance the professional preparation of ten graduate Fellows each year, and engage student interest in science and engineering careers. The project will draw on a number of established environmental science curricula as a basis for teaching science modules that are aligned with the EPISD middle school curriculum guides, the Texas science standards, and the National Science Education Standards for grades 6-8. Fellows will also create new learning modules designed to elucidate environmental problems and scientific solutions relevant to the local border region between the U.S. and Mexico.

该提案描述了德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校和埃尔帕索独立学区 (EPISD) 开发的 Track 1 GK-12 项目。该计划的目标是改变中学科学课堂的学习认知水平，每年加强十名研究生的专业准备，并激发学生对科学和工程职业的兴趣。该项目将借鉴一些既定的环境科学课程作为科学模块教学的基础，这些模块与 EPISD 中学课程指南、德克萨斯州科学标准和 6-8 年级国家科学教育标准保持一致。研究员还将创建新的学习模块，旨在阐明与美国和墨西哥当地边境地区相关的环境问题和科学解决方案。
