Effective and inclusive science education benefits the country by supporting innovation, discovery, and economic stability. Despite the known benefits of a science career, many students, including those from historically underrepresented groups, identify biology coursework as a significant hurdle to remaining in science fields. Many biology teachers are working to adopt teaching practices that better support student learning and are inclusive of all students but may lack the proper support structures and resources to make this task achievable. To address this need, the CASE Mentoring Network project focuses on providing personalized teacher mentoring, training in using and writing effective and inclusive case studies, and freely sharing authored resources. This project will also provide insight into how to leverage the strengths of these teacher-mentoring approaches to support the development of students’ science identities.A guiding principle of both the National Science Foundation and Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action is to support training a diverse, scientifically capable, and resilient workforce. First, this project will bring together individuals with diverse training and backgrounds to support personalized mentoring and train teachers in a highly effective teaching method, known as case-based learning. Second, the project will produce a broad range of freely accessible teaching resources in the form of compelling, timely, and relevant narrative case studies. These case studies will be carefully designed by integrating biology, social science, and justice in a way that is authentic to our modern world. Finally, the project will study ways to enhance connections among teachers, as well as adoption and effectiveness of these teaching methods. Products for this project include a strong personalized network to support teachers, 126 diverse case-study authors, and 60 case studies based on societally relevant scientific topics. Furthermore, the project will evaluate potential barriers to case study adoption and network effectiveness, as well as how case-based learning impacts students’ identity as early-career members of the scientific community in addition to content mastery. 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.

有效而包容的科学教育通过支持创新，发现和经济稳定来使该国受益。尽管科学生涯有已知的好处，但许多学生，包括历史上代表性不足的群体的学生都将生物学课程确定为留在科学领域的重大障碍。许多生物学教师正在努力采用教学实践，以更好地支持学生学习并包含所有学生，但可能缺乏适当的支持结构和资源来使这项任务可以完成。为了满足这一需求，案例指导网络项目着重于提供个性化的教师心理，在使用和编写有效和包容的案例研究方面进行培训，并自由共享著名的资源。该项目还将提供有关如何利用这些教师授课方法来支持学生科学身份发展的优势的见解。国家科学基金会和本科生物学教育的愿景和变化的指导原则：采取行动呼吁是支持培训潜水员，科学有能力和弹性的劳动力。首先，该项目将召集具有多种培训和背景的个人，以支持个性化的心理和培训教师，以一种高效的教学方法（称为基于案例的学习）。其次，该项目将以引人注目，及时和相关的叙事案例研究的形式提供广泛的自由访问教学资源。这些案例研究将通过将生物学，社会科学和正义整合到我们现代世界的真实方式中，以精心设计。最后，该项目将研究加强教师之间联系的方法，以及这些教学方法的采用和有效性。该项目的产品包括一个强大的个性化网络，以支持教师，126名潜水员案例研究的作者以及基于社会相关的科学主题的60个案例研究。此外，该项目将评估案例研究采用和网络有效性的潜在障碍，以及基于案例的学习如何影响学生作为科学界的早期职业人士的身份，而除了内容掌握之外。该项目由生物学科学局，生物基础设施司和STEM教育局，本科教育司，本科教育司共同资助，这是他们为解决本质生物学教育远见和变化所带来的挑战的一部分，该挑战的呼吁：http：// visionandchange/fivil and destive and sate dection and sate n s statory n s statory n s n s sate n s n s n s n s n s n s n s n s n s sate n s n s n s n s n s n s n s n s n s n s n s n s sate n s n s n s n s n s n s.基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
