DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project by the American Physiological Society (APS) will develop, test, and disseminate three program models designed to promote excellence in science education and that are fully aligned with the New Generation Science Education Standards: 1) Six Star Science Online Teacher (OT) Professional Development Program; 2) Frontiers in Physiology Research and Community Leader (RCL) Fellowship; and 3) Regional Professional Learning Communities (RPLCs). Each model is focused on improving science education at the local level in line with state and national standards, building connections between teachers and scientists engaged in NIH research, engaging participants in "Communities of Practice", and building awareness of and interest in biomedical careers among middle and high school students. The OT Program will engage 30 middle/high school teachers annually in a year-long online professional development program that will increase their use of Six Star Science/student- centered teaching methods that build students' knowledge and skills in science and their understanding of the role of biomedical research in their lives and careers. The online program will reach teachers in both urban and rural areas and from all school types. The RCL Fellowship will offer 15 teachers annually an opportunity to engage in a summer of hands-on biomedical research with APS members, and gain leadership skills that they will use at workshops and in online communities with colleagues. The RPLC program will work with APS regional/state chapters to help them partner with K-12 teachers in their areas on both the regular activities of the chapter, including their annual meetings, and on building a regional community of practice that shares information and perspectives on both science and education. Resources and materials from all programs will be freely available through the APS website and the APS digital library, the Archive of Teaching Resources (www.apsarchive.org). Program evaluation will focus on impacts on teacher learning and the use of Six Star Science strategies in the classroom, as well as teacher and researcher ongoing participation in the APS Effective Science Teaching online communities.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国生理学会（APS）提出的项目将开发，测试和传播三种旨在促进科学教育卓越的计划模型，并且与新一代科学教育标准完全一致：1）六星级科学在线教师（OT）专业发展计划； 2）生理研究和社区领袖（RCL）奖学金的前沿； 3）区域专业学习社区（RPLC）。每个模型都侧重于根据州和国家标准来改善地方一级的科学教育，建立从事NIH研究的教师和科学家之间的联系，使参与者参与“实践社区”，并建立对中学和高中生生物医学职业的认识和兴趣。 OT计划将每年与30名中学教师与一年的在线专业发展计划进行互动，该计划将增加他们对六种星际科学/学生中心的教学方法的使用，以建立学生在科学方面的知识和技能及其对生物医学研究在生活和职业中的作用的理解。该在线计划将吸引城市和农村地区以及所有学校类型的教师。 RCL奖学金每年将为15位教师提供与APS成员进行动手实践生物医学研究的机会，并获得他们将在研讨会和与同事在线社区中使用的领导能力。 RPLC计划将与APS区域/州章节合作，以帮助他们与本章的常规活动（包括年度会议）的K-12教师合作，并建立一个区域实践社区，该社区共享有关科学和教育的信息和观点。所有程序的资源和材料将通过APS网站和APS数字图书馆（www.apsarchive.org）免费获得。计划评估将重点关注对教师学习的影响，并在课堂上使用六个星级科学策略，以及教师和研究人员正在进行的APS有效科学教学在线社区。
