DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Very little literature exists on how to teach English Learners science at the secondary (grades 7-12) level. The purpose of Addiction Research and Investigation for Science Educators (ARISE) is to develop the ability of teachers to effectively teach science to English Learners and native speakers of English who have low academic language skills. The proposed project uses an "interest approach" -- in this case, the theme of drug abuse and addiction to capture the interest of teachers and their students -- to teach science. The scientific content is aligned with California and National science academic standards for grades 7-12. Research on the topic of drug abuse and addiction is used as the entryway to teaching and learning science concepts. An illustrative research project is woven into the lesson plan to form what the National Academy of Science calls an "integrated instructional unit," a research-based lesson that teaches a critical fundamental science concept (NAS, 2005). The proposed project brings science teachers of grades 7-12 into contact with university research faculty to examine and integrate the best evidence-based approaches to teaching science with proven strategies for effectively teaching English Learners, who account for 25% of students in the targeted region and 20% nationwide. 93% in the region are Hispanic, and 8% are South Asian. Each year the project will pair 30 university researchers with 30 science teachers from the San Joaquin Valley for a one-week on-campus summer institute to deepen science content knowledge and pedagogical skills in teachers. Throughout the following academic year, teachers will work with faculty mentors and curriculum specialists to develop laboratory-based lessons in neuroscience, structured to effectively reach English Learners. Teachers will develop and teach an integrated instructional unit based on the theme of drug abuse and/or addiction, using materials and methods approved by NIH for K-12 classroom use. Outcomes include a project specific website, featuring: 120 laboratory-based neuroscience lessons aligned with National and California science standards; 120 research team posters and presentations; and resource links. Student materials will be translated into Spanish, Hmong, Khmer, Vietnamese, and Punjabi, and appended with bi-lingual vocabulary guides. ARISE targets a significant population of students who are underrepresented in the biomedical sciences and consequently in public health fields: less than 11% of undergraduate degrees in the biological sciences are awarded to Latinas/Latinos, and less than 2% of doctoral degrees are conferred. ARISE seeks to advance the scientific literacy of these students to improve their understanding of the "nature of addiction as a biologically based brain disorder" (NIDA, 2006). An equally compelling, long-term objective is to improve the potential for this group of students, many of whom are English Learners, to succeed in advanced science coursework and pursue undergraduate programs in the biomedical sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于如何在中学（7 - 12年级）水平教英语学习者科学的文献很少。对科学教育者（ARISE）成瘾研究和调查的目的是发展教师有效地向英语学习者和以学术语言能力低下的英语人士教授科学的能力。拟议的项目使用一种“兴趣方法”（在这种情况下，毒品滥用和成瘾的主题来吸引教师及其学生的兴趣）来教授科学。科学内容与加利福尼亚州和国家科学学术标准保持一致，为7 - 12年级。关于药物滥用和成瘾主题的研究被用作教学科学概念的入口。将一个说明性的研究项目编织成课程计划，以形成美国国家科学院所说的“综合教学单元”，这是一个基于研究的课程，教授一个关键的基本科学概念（NAS，2005年）。拟议的项目将7 - 12年级的科学教师与大学研究学院接触，以研究和整合基于证据的科学的最佳方法与有效教授英语学习者的良好策略，这些策略占目标地区25％的学生和全国20％的学生。该地区的93％是西班牙裔，有8％是南亚。每年，该项目将将30名大学研究人员与来自圣华金山谷的30位科学老师配对，以为一周的校园夏季研究所提供一周，以加深科学内容的知识和教学技能。在接下来的学年中，教师将与教师的导师和课程专家合作开发基于实验室的神经科学课程，该课程旨在有效地吸引英语学习者。教师将使用NIH批准的K-12课堂使用的材料和方法，根据药物滥用和/或成瘾的主题开发和教授一个综合教学单位。结果包括一个特定于项目的网站，其中包括：120个基于实验室的神经科学课程与国家和加利福尼亚科学标准一致； 120个研究团队的海报和演讲；和资源链接。学生材料将被翻译成西班牙，苗族，高棉，越南和旁遮普语，并附有双语词汇指南。出现的目标是在生物医学科学中代表人数不足的学生，因此在公共卫生领域：生物科学中不到11％的本科学位授予了拉丁裔/拉丁美洲人，而少于2％的博士学位则授予。 Arise试图提高这些学生的科学素养，以提高他们对“成瘾性作为基于生物学的脑部疾病的本质”的理解（NIDA，2006年）。同样引人注目的长期目标是提高这群学生的潜力，其中许多是英语学习者，以取得高级科学课程并从事生物医学科学领域的本科课程。
