 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) proposes a national teacher professional development (PD) initiative, 'Teaching the Genome Generation' (TtGG), to provide high school teachers the content knowledge, teaching strategies, and resources needed to enhance student learning in genomics, bioinformatics and bioethics. Up to 48 teachers per year will participate in hands-on short courses at JAX campuses in Bar Harbor, Maine, Farmington, Connecticut, and Sacramento, California. Professional development courses at JAX will provide instruction in the molecular genetics of personalized medicine, use of bioinformatics tools, and discussion of the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) surrounding genetics research. Teachers will partner with TtGG staff, including a genomics education specialist and teacher peer-to-peer coordinator, and will collaborate with each other to deliver lessons designed for their unique biology classes and school environment. ELSI lesson plans and discussion frameworks are provided through partnership with the Personal Genetics Education Program within the Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School. Our innovative approach weaves three learning strands, molecular genetics, bioinformatics and ELSI together with the Next Generation Science Standards. Participating teachers will be supported with laboratory instrumentation, reagents, and consumable supplies during the academic year. The TtGG project team includes teachers and education partners and will provide online and in person support for implementation of curricular modules across a range of rural and urban high schools. TtGG will build upon over-enrolled July 2014 (16 teachers) and July 2015 (28 teachers) pilot courses. In the 2014-2015 academic year 7 teachers at 6 schools implemented TtGG curricular elements across in Maine. Over 3,700 high school students per year will receive new genomics instruction when TtGG is fully implemented across three states. In order to measure impact of PD, Rockman et al and JAX will administer pre-and post- PD tests and surveys to measure teacher content knowledge and confidence. The evaluation plan will employ a delayed treatment design to compare the knowledge and confidence of teachers who complete the PD short course against those who did not. Finally, a summative evaluation will measure the success of TtGG dissemination by testing student knowledge and surveying student interests in genomics, comparing students who completed the TtGG curriculum to students who completed a similar genomics unit.

 描述（由申请人提供）：杰克逊实验室 (JAX) 提出一项国家教师专业发展 (PD) 倡议，“基因组一代教学”(TtGG)，为高中教师提供所需的内容知识、教学策略和资源每年将有多达 48 名教师参加位于缅因州巴港、康涅狄格州法明顿和加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托的 JAX 校区的实践短期课程，以加强学生在基因组学、生物信息学和生物伦理学方面的学习。 JAX 的开发课程将提供个性化医疗的分子遗传学、生物信息学工具的使用以及围绕遗传学研究的伦理、法律和社会问题 (ELSI) 的讨论。教师将与 TtGG 工作人员（包括基因组学教育专家）合作。和教师同伴协调员，并将相互合作，提供针对其独特的生物课程和学校环境设计的课程，并通过与遗传学系内的个人遗传学教育计划合作提供 ELSI 课程计划和讨论框架，哈佛医学院。我们的创新方法将分子遗传学、生物信息学和 ELSI 与下一代科学标准结合起来，在学年期间将向参与的教师提供实验室仪器、试剂和消耗品的支持。 TtGG 将在 2014 年 7 月超额入学的基础上，为一系列农村和城市高中的课程模块的实施提供在线和面对面的支持。 （16 名教师）和 2015 年 7 月（28 名教师）试点课程 在 2014-2015 学年，缅因州 6 所学校的 7 名教师在 TtGG 全面实施后，每年将接受新的基因组学教学。为了衡量 PD 的影响，Rockman 等人和 JAX 将进行 PD 前和后测试和调查，以衡量教师的内容知识和信心。评估计划将采用延迟治疗设计来比较完成 PD 短期课程的教师与未完成 PD 短期课程的教师的知识和信心。最后，总结性评估将通过测试学生知识和调查学生对基因组学的兴趣来衡量 TtGG 传播的成功。 ，将完成 TtGG 课程的学生与完成类似基因组学单元的学生进行比较。
