This award provides funding for a 3 year continuing award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering and Computer Science Site program at the University of Kansas (KU) entitled, "RET: Shaping Inquiry from Feedstock to Tailpipe with Education Development (SHIFTED)", under the direction of Dr. Susan M. Stagg-Williams. The proposed new SHIFTED RET Program enhances and extends the previous successful SHIFT RET Program (EEC-0909100).This program hosted by the University of Kansas and the Southeast Kansas Education Service Center (referred to as Greenbush) will provide a 6 week summer experience for a total of 39 in-service and pre-service teachers (13 per year for 3 years). The participants will be math and science high school teachers and UKanTeach undergraduate interns. THE RET:SHIFTED program at KU is a synergistic alliance between KU faculty, Greenbush, and the UKanTeach program. This is a natural collaborative endeavor, KU faculty members have interdisciplinary research projects and a rich history of mentoring high school teachers, Greenbush has been delivering content to K-12 students and teachers for decades and UKanTeach is an innovative teacher preparation program for ~400 undergraduate science and math students. The primary objectives of the program are to: 1)Engage high school teachers in authentic research opportunities. 2) Guide the creation of classroom activities that (a) use real-world applications; (b) bridge multiple subject areas; (c) engage students in scientific inquiry or engineering design; and (d) stimulate students' interest in science, technology, engineering and math. 3) Nuture long-term linkages between KU faculty and the surrounding educational community. 4) Provide professional development opportunities to pre- and in-service teachers. 5) Broadly disseminate classroom activities. Most of the participants will teach at schools with a majority of economically disadvantaged students. The rural schools have a growing Hispanic population and the urban schools serve many students from underrepresented groups. A partnership with Science Pioneers will also help the project team reach more than 1,000 teachers and 4,000 students in the greater Kansas City region. By partnering with UKanTeach, SHIFTED will expose pre-service teachers to research and innovative classroom activities, increase its recruitment pool via UKanTeach alumni, and broaden dissemination. Each participant will be equipped with the skills and tools needed to effectively disseminate outcomes with local, regional and national audiences. With guidance from Greenbush educators, participants will translate their research experiences into curricular materials, designed to meet state science standards, that can be used in their classes the following year.

该奖项为为期 3 年的持续奖励提供资金，以支持堪萨斯大学 (KU) 工程和计算机科学领域教师研究经验 (RET) 项目，题为“RET：通过教育发展塑造从原料到尾气的探究（ SHIFTED）”，在 Susan M. Stagg-Williams 博士的指导下。拟议的新的SHIFTED RET项目增强并扩展了之前成功的SHIFT RET项目（EEC-0909100）。该项目由堪萨斯大学和东南堪萨斯教育服务中心（简称Greenbush）主办，将为学生提供为期6周的暑期体验共有 39 名在职和职前教师（每年 13 名，为期 3 年）。参与者将是数学和科学高中教师以及 UKanTeach 本科生实习生。 KU 的 RET:SHIFTED 项目是 KU 教师、Greenbush 和 UKanTeach 项目之间的协同联盟。 这是一种自然的协作努力，KU 教职人员拥有跨学科研究项目和指导高中教师的丰富历史，Greenbush 数十年来一直为 K-12 学生和教师提供内容，UKanTeach 是一项创新的教师培训计划，面向约 400 名本科生科学和数学学生。 该计划的主要目标是： 1）让高中教师获得真实的研究机会。 2) 指导创建以下课堂活动：(a) 使用现实世界的应用程序； (b) 连接多个学科领域； (c) 让学生参与科学探究或工程设计； (d) 激发学生对科学、技术、工程和数学的兴趣。 3) 培养 KU 教师与周边教育界之间的长期联系。 4) 为在职和在职教师提供专业发展机会。 5）广泛传播课堂活动。 大多数参与者将在经济困难学生占多数的学校任教。 农村学校的拉美裔人口不断增长，而城市学校为许多来自弱势群体的学生提供服务。 与 Science Pioneers 的合作还将帮助项目团队覆盖大堪萨斯城地区的 1,000 多名教师和 4,000 名学生。通过与 UKanTeach 合作，SHIFTED 将使职前教师能够参与研究和创新课堂活动，通过 UKanTeach 校友增加招聘人数，并扩大传播范围。每个参与者都将配备向当地、区域和国家受众有效传播成果所需的技能和工具。在格林布什教育工作者的指导下，参与者将把他们的研究经验转化为课程材料，旨在满足州科学标准，并可在第二年的课堂上使用。
