Collaborative New GK12 Building Ocean

项目摘要

Savannah State University (SSU), the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, and the Savannah Chatham Public School System (SCPSS) will engage graduate students, scientists, and K-12 teachers and students in a sustainable research-based education program to promote ocean literacy, science education, and research in coastal Georgia. The goal of the ?Building Ocean Literacy Program? is to expand ocean literacy and cultivate research skills in K-12 classrooms while developing graduate student skills in communicating science concepts to people beyond the research community. The program will pair marine science GK-12 fellows from a historically black university (SSU) with master science teachers and classes within the SCPSS. African-American students are over-represented in the SCPSS compared to the national average and the program will reach a wide and diverse audience. Fellows will engage classes in estuarine monitoring and in their graduate research activities to enhance research skills and ocean literacy in the school system. New graduate coursework will develop communication and teaching skills among GK-12 fellows, while teacher training opportunities will enhance teacher awareness of marine issues. Research activities of GK-12 fellows, teachers, and public school students, will focus on the local estuarine ecosystem and will directly support Georgia Performance Standards. Research and instructional components of this project will collectively 1) promote ocean literacy in K-12 classrooms, 2) enhance K-12 science instruction in Chatham County public schools, and 3) train the next generation of scientists to be competent, comfortable, and engaged in communicating science concepts to a wide array of audiences.

Savannah州立大学（SSU），Skidaway海洋学研究所和Savannah Chatham公立学校系统（SCPSS）将与研究生，科学家和K-12教师和学生一起参与基于可持续研究的教育计划，以促进佐治亚州沿海佐治亚州的海洋素养，科学教育和研究。建立海洋扫盲计划的目标？是扩大海洋素养并在K-12教室中培养研究技能，同时发展研究生技能，以向研究社区以外的人传达科学概念。该计划将将来自历史悠久的黑人大学（SSU）的海洋科学GK-12家伙与SCPS中的大师级科学老师和课程相结合。与全国平均水平相比，非洲裔美国学生在SCPS中的代表人数过高，该计划将吸引广泛而多样的受众。研究员将参加河口监测及其研究生研究活动的课程，以增强学校系统中的研究技能和海洋素养。新的研究生课程将在GK-12家伙之间发展沟通和教学技能，而教师培训机会将提高教师对海洋问题的认识。 GK-12的研究活动，教师和公立学校的学生将专注于当地的河口生态系统，并将直接支持佐治亚州的绩效标准。该项目的研究和教学组成部分将共同促进K-12教室中的海洋素养，2）增强Chatham县公立学校的K-12科学教学，以及3）培训下一代科学家，使下一代的科学家能够有能力，舒适并从事与各种各样的观众交流科学概念。
