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.

这项领导活动计划将为地球、物理和生物科学领域的24名教师提供提升和专业发展的经验，他们在科学教育中展示了潜在的领导能力。参与者将在全国范围内招募，特别努力包括被选为总统学者或被确定为杰出科学教师的个人。三名尚未选择从事科学教学工作的高能力地质专业学生将被邀请参加一个学分工作坊。人们希望，这种参与将激发人们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，并包括关于山体喷发的经济、社会和环境影响的信息。从1980年至今的圣海伦斯。教学工具将是实地考察、实地练习、实验室练习、讨论、计算机模拟和小组工作。研讨会定于1986年8月4日至16日举行，为期两周。大部分正式讲习班指导将在大学进行，并提供实地考察和在圣海伦斯山和其他地点进行实地工作的经费。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，并扩大整个社区的科学素养。项目信息和成果将通过商业材料和参与者准备的图片和文字材料提供。
