Benedictine College will conduct a four week workshop for 140 teachers in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. The workshop will emphasize instruction in: physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics. Each teacher will participate in one of the four major areas of program. The instruction will focus on content and the development of materials that are to be implemented in the classroom. All teachers will participate in a series of interdisciplinary workshops. An optional computer workshop will be provided for teachers who want to learn or practice basic computer concepts. The staff is composed of master secondary teachers and college faculty. The participants will conduct inservice activities during the academic year for other teachers in their school system. Over a two year period the college staff will make site visits to each participant's school. Teachers will be encouraged to attend professional meetings and make presentations at these meetings. Some finiancial support will be provided for teachers who attend these meetings. The school districts, from whom participants are chosen, are being encouraged to provide support for inservice activites and to purchase additional equipment and materials that will enhance their mathematics and science programs. The professional organizations in the states will cooperate in coordinating and providing support for this project. The concerns of many small and rural schools will be addressed.

本笃会学院将为爱荷华州、堪萨斯州、密苏里州和内布拉斯加州的 140 名教师举办为期 4 周的研讨会。 研讨会将强调以下方面的教学：物理、化学、生物学和数学。 每位教师将参与四个主要项目领域之一。 教学将重点关注将在课堂上实施的内容和材料的开发。所有教师都将参加一系列跨学科研讨会。 将为想要学习或练习基本计算机概念的教师提供可选的计算机研讨会。 教职员工由硕士二级教师和大学教师组成。 参与者将在学年期间为其学校系统的其他教师开展在职活动。 在两年的时间内，学院工作人员将对每位参与者的学校进行实地考察。 我们将鼓励教师参加专业会议并在这些会议上进行演讲。 将为参加这些会议的教师提供一些财政支持。 鼓励选择参与者的学区为在职活动提供支持，并购买额外的设备和材料，以加强他们的数学和科学课程。 各州的专业组织将合作协调并为该项目提供支持。 许多小型和农村学校的担忧将得到解决。
