PROPOSAL #: 0638730PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: David MillsINSTITUTION: Louisiana Tech UniversityTITLE: Continuing GK-12, Creating Connections: Advancing Knowledge, Learning and STEM Career Opportunities for Rural LouisianaThis project involves 25 Graduate Teaching Fellows in northern Louisiana middle and high schools over a three year period. The program is centered on the theme of "molecular science and nanotechnology," a combination of biology and engineering at the nanoscale. Goals include (1) enhancement of the Fellows' understanding and commitment to K-12 education, (2) improved content knowledge and understanding of scientific investigation for partner teachers, their students, and the community at large, and (3) an increase in university research faculty's interest in and ability to work with K-12 schools. Molecular science/nanotechnology laboratories in the partner schools will be staffed by the teaching fellows and will serve as foci for fellow and teacher generated modules; fellow, teacher, student, research mentor interaction, and hands-on student engagement in science and engineering. A comparable outreach laboratory is established at Louisiana Tech and used to teach teachers molecular science/nanotechnology concepts and scientific investigation principles. In addition a "Creating Connections" program connects students, teachers, fellows and research mentors and educates research mentors about the benefits from and mechanisms for involvement with K-12 schools.

提案＃：0638730原理调查员：David Millsinstitution：Louisiana Tech Universitytitle：继续进行GK-12，建立联系：促进Louisianathis农村的知识，学习和STEM职业机会涉及25个在三年内路易斯安那州北部中学和高中的研究生教学研究生。该计划以“分子科学和纳米技术”为主题，这是纳米级生物学和工程的结合。 目标包括（1）增强研究员对K-12教育的理解和承诺，（2）提高内容知识和对合作伙伴教师，他们的学生和整个社区的科学研究的理解，以及（3）大学研究教师对K-12学校的兴趣和能力的提高。 合作伙伴学校的分子科学/纳米技术实验室将由教学研究员组成，并将作为同伴和教师产生的模块的焦点；研究员，老师，学生，研究导师的互动以及科学与工程学的动手互动。路易斯安那理工学院建立了一个可比的外展实验室，并用于教师分子科学/纳米技术概念和科学研究原则。此外，“创建联系”计划将学生，教师，研究员和研究导师联系起来，并向研究导师提供有关与K-12学校参与的好处和机制的教育。
