Local and Regional Teacher Development Program: Retraining and Upgrading Precollege Physics and Physical Science Teachers

位于滨江的加州大学正在赞助一个项目， 留住在校外任教的物理教师 主要是为了提高他们的课堂表现。 程序 将提供具体的教具，并将审查数学 对物理教学至关重要。 28名高中和初中物理教师， 物理科学将参加为期四周的夏季研讨会。 参与者 将从滨江和圣贝纳迪诺县的学校中选出。 第一周和第二周的工作坊将涵盖一些基本的物理学 原则和解释这些原则的示范的建设 原则 除了之前的活动，第三周将回顾 数学必要的物理教学和意志 包括计算机使用。 第四周将专门讨论 个人参与者的利益和问题。 教师将 带着设计好的演示设备回到学校， 在夏天建造的。 讲习班将辅以一系列客座讲座。 期间 在本学年，将有两个为期一天的研讨会在2月， 五月，教师们将分享他们将 材料进课堂。

The University of California, Riverside, is sponsoring a program to retain current physics teachers who are teaching outside their college major, in order to improve their classroom presentation. The program will provide specific teaching aids, and will review the mathematics essential to the teaching of physics. Twenty-eight high school and junior high school teachers of physics and physical science will attend a four-week summer workshop. Participants will be drawn from the Riverside and San Bernardino County Schools. Weeks one and two of the workshops will cover a number of basic physics principles and the construction of demonstrations which explain these principles. In addition to previous activities, week three will review the mathematics necessary to the teaching of physics and will incorporate computer usage. Week four will be devoted to the specific interests and problems of the individual participants. Teachers will return to their schools with lecture-demonstration devices designed and built during the summer. The workshop will be supplemented by a series of guest lectures. During the academic year, there will be two one-day workshops in February and May, where teachers will share their experiences of incorporating the materials into their classes.
