In two upper-level elective biology courses and one beginning-level general biology course, college students participated in Learning Partnerships with middle or high school classes to study some aspect of biology. The goals were to enhance learning by providing resources to middle and high school students and teachers and by encouraging college students to consider teaching as a learning tool and a possible career goal. The college students designed lessons, activities, and laboratories that were done at the schools and at Bates College. Feedback and data suggest that the partnerships have helped teachers enrich their curricula, enhanced student learning, encouraged additional high school students to consider applying to college, and encouraged college students to consider teaching science.
在两门高级选修生物学课程和一门初级普通生物学课程中，大学生与初中或高中班级开展学习合作，以研究生物学的某个方面。目标是通过为初中和高中学生及教师提供资源，并鼓励大学生将教学视为一种学习工具和可能的职业目标，来提高学习效果。大学生设计了在学校和贝茨学院开展的课程、活动和实验。反馈和数据表明，这些合作有助于教师丰富课程内容，提高学生的学习效果，鼓励更多高中生考虑申请大学，并鼓励大学生考虑从事科学教学工作。
