This project will expand the ImmunoReach network to develop and test new tools for teaching immunology in college biology courses. Immunological terms and concepts are complicated and new discoveries are made every year. This can discourage people from learning about this important topic and makes it difficult for instructors to keep current in the subject. The lesson plans that will be developed in this project will make immunology concepts easier to understand and help teachers feel comfortable teaching immunology across all levels of courses. This work by ImmunoReach will help improve the quality of biology education and support public understanding of important societal issues such as combatting infectious disease, vaccination, and impacts of climate change.ImmunoReach is an interdisciplinary Community of Practice (CoP) that aims to foster immune literacy and increase access to immunology education beyond traditional immunology-specific classrooms. This CoP will identify a common language between disciplines to discuss and share curricular challenges and solutions with the broader community. To accomplish this, we will look towards the key concepts and competencies described in The Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action report, and Benchmarks for Science Literacy (AAAS, 2011 and 1993, respectively). The ImmunoReach network will bring together educators who are committed to the goals of fostering immune literacy, through the use of evidence-based pedagogical practices. The network will develop teaching resources that integrate immunology-related interdisciplinary learning outcomes, for example, those intersecting with microbiology, genetics, ecology, evolution, physiology and chemistry. Less experienced educators of immunology, representing diverse institutional and disciplinary expertise, will be paired with experienced immunology educators for developing, implementing, and assessing these interdisciplinary teaching resources, based on a backward design approach and active learning strategies. The products generated at the end of this project will be shared with the network participants and the broader community through ImmunoReach’s QUBES hub site, virtual symposiums, conference presentations, journal publications, and other outreach activities. The network will empower educators to positively impact diverse student populations with the ultimate aim to foster immune literacy. This project is being jointly funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences, Division of Biological Infrastructure and the Directorate for STEM Education, Division of Undergraduate Education as part of their efforts to address the challenges posed in Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action (http://visionandchange/finalreport/).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将扩大免疫接触网络，以开发和测试在大学生物学课程中教授免疫学的新工具。免疫学术语和概念很复杂，每年都会发现新发现。这可以阻止人们了解这个重要的话题，并使教师难以保持该主题的最新状态。该项目将制定的课程计划将使免疫学概念更容易理解，并帮助教师在各个级别的课程中教授免疫学。免疫接触的这项工作将有助于提高生物学教育的质量，并支持公众对重要社会问题的理解，例如打击传染病，疫苗接种和气候变化的影响。Immunoreach是一个跨学科的实践社区（COP），旨在促进免疫学和增加传统免疫学教育以外的传统免疫学教育的机会。该警察将确定学科之间的通用语言，以与更广泛的社区讨论和分享课程挑战和解决方案。为此，我们将探讨本科生物学教育的愿景和变化中描述的关键概念和能力：呼吁行动报告和科学素养基准（AAAS，2011年，2011年和1993年）。 Immunoreach网络将通过使用基于证据的教学实践来召集致力于促进免疫征为目标的教育者。该网络将开发整合与免疫学相关的跨学科学习成果的教学资源，例如，那些与微生物学，遗传学，生态学，进化，生理学和化学相交的教学资源。代表潜水员机构和纪律专业知识的免疫学教育者经验不足的教育者将与经验丰富的免疫学教育者配对，以基于向后的设计方法和积极的学习策略来开发，实施和评估这些跨学科教学资源。该项目结束时生成的产品将通过Immunoreach的Qubes Hub网站，虚拟符号，会议演示文稿，期刊出版物和其他外展活动与网络参与者和更广泛的社区共享。该网络将使教育者能够以促进免疫素养的最终目的对潜水员的学生群体产生积极影响。 This project is being jointly funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences, Division of Biological Infrastructure and the Directorate for STEM Education, Division of Undergraduate Education as part of their efforts to address the challenges posed in Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action (http://visionandchange/finalreport/).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed honestly of support through evaluation using基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
