摘要

有很多很好的理由将环境健康科学的基础知识,包括毒理学,纳入我们国家K-12课堂的教学主题中。除了得到各州和联邦政府授权的支持外,这些主题的教学本身也适合成功教育者的最佳实践,例如综合教学、探究式学习和社区连接学校。然而,最重要的是需要培养一支装备精良的公民队伍,以便在人类健康和环境相互交叉的地方解决所出现的问题;这些问题日益紧迫、争议和复杂。虽然编写课程材料和举办教师研讨会是改变K-12课堂的好方法,但还有其他方法可以创造性地影响我们国家学校的现状。其中两种方法对于位于西雅图的华盛顿大学生态遗传学和环境健康中心(CEEH)的外联工作人员来说特别成功。创建一个资源包(Tox-in-a-Box TM)以鼓励环境卫生科学专业人员进行课堂访问,有助于将未充分利用的人口转化为K-12转型的强大资源。多点视频会议这一相对较新的技术也被用来成功地使学生和教师参与探讨与环境健康科学有关的社区问题。

From Visiting Professionals to Videoconferences: Using Creative Catalysts to Infuse Environmental Health Sciences Content into the K-12 Curriculum
There are many excellent reasons for including the basics of environmental health sciences, including toxicology, in the topics taught in our nation's K-12 classrooms. In addition to being supported by various state and federal mandates, the teaching of these topics lend itself to the best practices of successful educators, such as integrated teaching, inquiry-based learning, and community-connected schools. Most important, however, is the need to create a well-equipped citizenry to struggle with the issues that arise where human health and the environment intersect; issues that are increasingly urgent, contentions, and complex. While creating curricular materials and offering teacher workshops are excellent ways to bring about change within K-12 classroom, there are other methods to creatively influence what happens in our nation's schools. Two of these approaches have been particulary successful for outreach staff at the Center for Ecogenetics and Environmental Health (CEEH) at the University of Washington in Seattle. Creating a resource kit (Tox-in-a-Box TM ) to encourage environemntal health sciences professionals to conduct classroom visits has helped turn underutilized population into a powerful resource for K-12 transformation. The relatively new technology of multipoint videoconferencing also has been used to successfully involve both students and teachers in exploration of community-based issues related to the environmental health sciences.
