项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): "Sharing ASSETs: Expanding Science Opportunities in K-12 Classrooms" will build upon an established partnership with the NIH (ORIP)-sponsored Tetrahymena Stock Center, an extensive teacher network, and existing infrastructure to expand the scope of the original ASSET program by developing new, innovative, fully evaluated biology curricula for elementary and middle school students. The new lab modules will feature safe, easily grown single-cell protozoa (Tetrahymena) that are ideal for demonstrating many of the basic principles of biology without engendering any of the conflicting reactions often invoked by the use of multicellular organisms in the classroom. To insure that modules meet the needs of teachers and students in schools with varying resources, the modules will be developed, tested, and evaluated in conjunction with teachers drawn from diverse school districts, ranging from small rural schools in economically depressed areas to large city schools serving under-resourced communities. When necessary, module use will be supported by a small equipment lending library that was established as part of the original ASSET program and that will be expanded as part of the new program. This project will also introduce a new approach to independent inquiry for high school students. Using the original ASSET high school modules as a starting point, we will draw upon the expertise of the program staff in the use of Tetrahymena in research, and solicit input from the Tetrahymena research community, to develop an open ended module that provides guidance for teachers in the implementation of independent inquiry as part of their curricula. To insure equitable use by teachers and students in underserved communities with limited facilities, modules will be designed to be as self-contained as possible, and when necessary, will be supported by the equipment lending library. Use of ASSET modules in underserved communities will help stimulate interest in science and science related careers, especially among students traditionally under-represented in STEM activities. In addition to the lab modules, innovative materials addressing the intersection of biology and society will also be developed for use by middle and elementary students. These interactive modules will support the establishment of a scientifically literate, engaged citizenry. In addition a series of teacher workshops will be carried out to support use of the new ASSET materials, targeting both elementary teachers, who are often not science specialists, and pre-service teachers. The proposed pre-service teacher outreach will support national goals of preparing 100,000 new K-12 STEM teachers by 2020.

描述（由适用提供）：“共享资产：在K-12教室中扩大科学机会”将建立在与NIH（ORIP）赞助的Tetrahymena Stock Center，广泛的教师网络以及现有基础设施的建立伙伴关系的基础上，以扩大原始资产计划的范围，以开发新的，创新的，全面的，全面评估的生物学curria for Element curric和Midder and Midder and Midder and Midder and Midder。新的实验室模块将具有安全的，易于生长的单细胞原生动物（四膜），非常适合展示生物学的许多基本原理，而无需在教室中使用多细胞生物，而不会引起任何相互冲突的反应。为了确保模块满足具有不同资源的学校的教师和学生的需求，将与从潜水区的学区吸取的教师一起开发，测试和评估模块，从经济沮丧的小学学校到为不足社区提供服务的大型城市学校的小型农村学校。必要时，将使用一个小型设备贷款库来支持该模块，该设备贷款库是原始资产计划的一部分，并将作为新计划的一部分进行扩展。该项目还将引入一种新的方法，以针对高中生独立询问。我们将使用原始资产高中模块作为起点，我们将利用计划人员在研究中使用四膜虫的专业知识，并征求四氢研究所研究界的意见，以开发一个开放的结尾模块，为教师实施独立询问的指导。为了确保在设施有限的服务欠缺社区中的教师和学生的公平使用，模块将被设计为尽可能独立，并在必要时得到设备贷款图书馆的支持。在服务不足的社区中使用资产模块将有助于刺激对科学和科学与科学相关的职业的兴趣，尤其是在STEM活动中代表不足的学生中。除实验室模块外，还将开发针对生物学与社会交集的创新材料，以供中级学生和小学生使用。这些互动模块将支持建立科学识字的，参与的公民。此外，还将举办一系列教师研讨会，以支持新的资产材料的使用，以针对通常不是科学专家和职前教师的小学教师。拟议的职前教师外展活动将支持到2020年准备100,000名新的K-12 STEM教师的国家目标。
