Engaging students in the biomedical sciences while they are still in high school is a critical first step toward educating a scientifically literate citizenry as well as initiating the pipeline that will eventually result in increased numbers of biomedical and health related professionals. This proposal is a collaboration between biomedical scientists at Tufts University School of Medicine, biology teachers at the Madison Park Technical and Vocational High School, the Boston Latin Academy and the Boston Latin School, all inner city Boston public high schools, and members of the Wright Center for Innovation in Science Education, also at Tufts. Its goal is to engage the imagination of 11th and 12th grade students who do not see the science of their real world experiences mirrored in the classroom. It accomplishes this goal by developing and disseminating a novel inquiry-based high school biology curriculum that focuses on biomedical research in the context of five 'great diseases' that challenge global health - infectious, neurological, cardiovascular, cancer and diabetes. A key element of the proposal is addressing the challenge of aligning content and process in the classroom to enable teachers to create the knowledge-centered classrooms that are critical for learning transfer. Accordingly the first aim is to first develop a learning community that will interactively guide the in-depth professional development underlying each of the 5 curricular modules. The learning community will then collaborate on the second aim; to develop curricular content and to generate deliverables for implementation of the curriculum in the classroom. This material, which will include a syllabus and web-based virtual and real interactive inquiry- base laboratory exercises will be disseminated into the Boston Public School system and the broader educational community as part of the third aim. The fourth aim is to design and implement an evaluation strategy that will allow for ongoing revision during the project to ensure optimization of outcomes. The involvement of Tufts medical and biomedical graduate schools ensures that the program is highly sustainable. and our final goal is to establish it as a model of how medical schools and school districts can interact to disseminate understanding of the biomedical research underlying disease at the high school level.

让学生在高中时吸引生物医学科学是迈向的关键第一步 教育科学识字的公民并启动管道，最终会导致增加 生物医学和健康相关专业人士的数量。该建议是生物医学之间的合作 塔夫茨大学医学院的科学家，麦迪逊公园技术的生物学教师 职业高中，波士顿拉丁学院和波士顿拉丁语学校，所有城市内城公共 高中，以及赖特科学教育创新中心的成员，也是塔夫茨。它的目标是 吸引没有看到现实世界科学的11年级和12年级学生的想象力 经验在教室里镜像。它通过发展和传播小说来实现这一目标 基于询问的高中生物学课程，重点是在五个伟大的背景下进行生物医学研究 疾病挑战全球健康 - 传染性，神经系统，心血管，癌症和糖尿病。钥匙 该提案的要素是应对在课堂上调整内容和过程的挑战以启用 教师创建以知识为中心的教室，这些教室对于学习转移至关重要。因此 首先是开发一个学习社区，该学习社区将互动指导深入的专业人员 5个课程模块中的每一个。然后，学习社区将在 第二个目标；开发课程内容并生成可交付成果以实施课程 教室。该材料将包括教学大纲和基于Web的虚拟和真实的交互式查询 - 基础实验室练习将被传播到波士顿公立学校系统中，更广泛 教育社区是第三个目标的一部分。第四个目标是设计和实施评估 将允许在项目期间进行持续修订以确保结果的策略。这 簇簇医学和生物医学研究生院的参与确保该计划非常可持续。 我们的最终目标是将其确定为医学院和学区如何互动与 传播对高中一级生物医学研究的理解。
