Mount St Helens - Honors Workshop for Science Teachers

该领导力活动计划将为24名在科学教育中表现出潜在领导能力的地球、物理和生物科学教师提供增强和专业发展经验。将在全国范围内进行选拔，并特别选拔总统学者和优秀科学教师。将邀请三名尚未选择科学教学职业的高水平地质学专业学生参加一个学分研讨会。希望这种参与能激发学生对科学教学事业的兴趣。该计划的目标是提供关于喀斯喀特火山演化的正式课堂教学，包括岩浆成因和板块构造，并包括1980年至今圣海伦斯火山喷发对经济、社会和环境影响的信息。教学手段包括实地考察、实地练习、实验室练习、讨论、计算机模拟和小组工作。讲习班定于1986年8月4日至16日举行两个星期。大多数正式的讲习班教学将在大学进行，并提供实地考察和实地工作，在圣海伦斯山和其他地点进行。后续活动将包括参与者与同事和学生分享他们获得的知识和技能，并扩大整个社区对科学的素养。项目信息和结果将通过商业和参与者准备的照片和文本材料提供。

This Leadership Activities program will provide enhancement and professional development experiences for 24 teachers in the earth, physical, and biological sciences, who have demonstrated potential leadership abilities in science education. The participants will be recruited Nation-wide with special efforts to include individuals who have been selected as presidential scholars or identified as exceptional science teachers. Three high-ability geology majors, who have not yet opted for a science teaching career, will be invited to participate in a workshop for credit. It is hoped that this involvement will kindle an interest in a science teaching career. The objectives of this program are to provide formal classroom instruction on the evolution of the Cascade volcanoes including magma genesis and plate tectonics, and to include information about the economic, social and environmental impacts of the eruptions of Mt. St. Helens from 1980 to present. The instructional vehicles will be field trips, field exercises, laboratory exercises, discussions, computer simulations and group work. The workshop is scheduled for two weeks August 4-16, 1986. Most of the formal workshop instruction will take place at the University with provision for field trips and field work taking place on site at Mount St. Helens and other locations. Follow-up activities will include participants sharing their acquired knowledge and skills with colleagues and students and expanding the literacy of the community at large about science. Project information and results will be available through commercial and participant- prepared materials, both photographic and textual.
