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）教授英语学习者科学的文献很少。科学教育者成瘾研究和调查 (ARISE) 的目的是培养教师向学术语言技能较低的英语学习者和英语母语者有效教授科学的能力。拟议的项目使用“兴趣方法”——在本例中，以药物滥用和成瘾为主题来吸引教师和学生的兴趣——来教授科学。科学内容符合加州和国家 7-12 年级科学学术标准。对药物滥用和成瘾主题的研究被用作教授和学习科学概念的入口。课程计划中融入了一个说明性研究项目，形成美国国家科学院所说的“综合教学单元”，这是一门以研究为基础的课程，教授关键的基础科学概念（NAS，2005）。拟议的项目让 7-12 年级的科学教师与大学研究人员接触，以检查和整合最佳的循证科学教学方法和有效教学英语学习者的行之有效的策略，英语学习者占目标地区学生的 25%全国20%。该地区 93% 是西班牙裔，8% 是南亚裔。该项目每年都会将 30 名大学研究人员与来自圣华金河谷的 30 名科学教师配对，参加为期一周的校园暑期学院，以加深教师的科学内容知识和教学技能。在接下来的学年中，教师将与教师导师和课程专家合作，开发基于实验室的神经科学课程，旨在有效地接触英语学习者。教师将使用 NIH 批准用于 K-12 课堂使用的材料和方法，开发和教授基于药物滥用和/或成瘾主题的综合教学单元。成果包括一个项目特定网站，其特点是： 120 个符合国家和加州科学标准的基于实验室的神经科学课程； 120 个研究团队海报和演示文稿；和资源链接。学生材料将被翻译成西班牙语、苗语、高棉语、越南语和旁遮普语，并附有双语词汇指南。 ARISE 针对的是生物医学科学领域以及公共卫生领域代表性不足的大量学生：不到 11% 的生物科学本科学位授予拉丁裔/拉丁美洲人，不到 2% 的博士学位授予者。 ARISE 旨在提高这些学生的科学素养，以提高他们对“成瘾作为一种基于生物学的大脑疾病的本质”的理解（NIDA，2006）。同样引人注目的长期目标是提高这群学生（其中许多是英语学习者）的潜力，以成功完成高级科学课程并攻读生物医学科学本科课程。
