GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS IN K-12 EDUCATIONABSTRACTProposal #: 0742419 PI: Craig GilmanInstitution: Coastal Carolina UniversityTitle: GK-12 Fellows Linking Marine and Wetland Research with Science Education in Coastal South Carolina SchoolsUsing the theme of Coastal Marine and Wetland Studies (CMWS), the GK-12 project at Coastal Carolina will support 6-8 Fellows each year who will work one-on-one with grade 6-12 teachers in the Coastal Carolina schools. The program will partner with the Horry County School District in South Carolina and accept teachers from any of the ten middle or nine high schools in the county. Horry County is the largest county in S. C. It is both suburban and rural. The program encompasses the foundational STEM disciplines of biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and mathematics, as well as specialized disciplines such as marine science and environmental science. The GK-12 program at Coastal Carolina University (CCU) will team GK-12 Fellows from the CMWS graduate program with cooperating teachers to build STEM-related partnerships between the university and local schools and to enhance the educational programs and experiences for students at the middle school, high school, and university level. The fellows, who all conduct field-based research in the multidisciplinary fields of coastal and wetland science, will bring an interdisciplinary approach to the curriculum of local middle and high school science classrooms. Broader impacts include increasing interest and learning in STEM disciplines by historically underrepresented students in South Carolina, and to provide these diverse students with role models and mentors. Teachers will increase their content knowledge in various STEM disciplines and inquiry-based activities will be disseminated through the Horry County science curricula.

K-12教育研究生教学研究员＃：0742419 PI：CRAIG GILMANININITITION：沿海Carolina Universitytitle：GK-122，将海洋和湿地研究与南卡罗来纳州沿海科学教育联系起来，以沿海海洋和湿地研究为主题（CMWS）的主题，卡罗莱纳州沿海地区的GK-12项目每年将支持6-8名研究员，他们将在卡罗来纳州沿海学校与6至12年级的老师一对一地工作。该计划将与南卡罗来纳州的霍里县学区合作，并接受该县十个中学或九所中学中任何一个的教师。霍里县是南卡罗来纳州最大的县，它既是郊区又是农村。该计划涵盖了生物学，化学，地质，物理和数学的基础茎学科以及海洋科学和环境科学等专业学科。沿海卡罗来纳大学（CCU）的GK-12计划将与CMWS研究生课程的GK-12伙伴与合作的教师团队合作，以在大学和当地学校之间建立与STEM相关的合作伙伴关系，并增强为学生的教育计划和经验中学，高中和大学一级。这些研究员都在沿海和湿地科学的多学科领域进行基于现场的研究，将为当地中学和高中科学教室的课程带来跨学科的方法。更广泛的影响包括增加了南卡罗来纳州代表性不足的学生对STEM学科的兴趣和学习，并为这些多元化的学生提供榜样和导师。教师将在各种STEM学科中提高其内容知识，并通过Horry County Science课程来传播基于询问的活动。
