Leadership Development of Physics Teaching Resource Agents

这笔赠款为继续和进一步发展提供支持， 美国物理教师协会（AAPT）的一项计划， 开发了全国范围内的物理教学资源代理骨干。 项目工作人员将再次招募优秀的高中物理 教师的课堂实践被认为是模范， 有效随后，这些资源教师将参加一个 一系列研讨会，涉及战略、技术、内容和 技术创新已经过测试和验证， AAPT。 参与者还将发展自己的技能， 为美国自己地区的同事举办研讨会。 亚太培训中心将为当地讲习班提供后续支持， 资源人员，有限的资金和材料，以及 实验室设备和计算机的贷款。 预计各国 大约100名物理资源教师将参加 讲习班，每次讲习班约有60多名教师参加。 因此，在本发明中， 该讲习班最终可能影响约6 000名教师。 在 1985年，100名教师参加了该计划，到1986年3月15日， 举办了203个讲习班，有3 370人参加， 计划在该年春季举办更多的讲习班。 计划召开三次全国物理资源教师会议。 其中两次会议的出席将得到国家统计局的支持。 科学基金会同时支持出席第三次会议， AAPT项目工作人员积极寻求外部来源。 参与者在第一年就非常有效地获得了 外部支持，并将继续推动这些努力。 是 希望这个项目能够自给自足。

This grant provides support for continuation and further development of a program of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) which developed a nationwide cadre of Physics Teaching Resource Agents. Project staff will again recruit outstanding high school physics teachers whose classroom practice has been judged to be exemplary and effective. Subsequently, these resource teachers will participate in a series of workshops dealing with strategy, techniques, content, and technological innovation which have been tested and validated by the AAPT. The participants will also develop skills in conducting their own workshops for colleagues in their own regions of the United States. The AAPT will provide follow-up support for the local workshops with resource personnel, limited amounts of funding and materials, and the loan of laboratory equipment and computers. It is anticipated that approximately 100 physics resource teachers will participate in the workshops, each reaching out to approximately 60 more teachers. Thus, the workshop may ultimately influence approximately 6,000 teachers. In 1985, 100 teachers participated in the program and by March 15, 1986, 203 workshops involving 3,370 participants had been conducted with additional workshops planned for the spring of that year. Three national meetings of the Physics Resource Teachers are planned. Attendance at two of these meetings will be supported by the National Science Foundation while support to attend the third meeting will energetically be sought by AAPT project staff from external sources. Participants have been quite effective in their first year in acquiring external support, and these efforts will continue to be promoted. It is anticipated that this program can become self-sustaining.
