Under this project, the department of chemistry of the University of Washington will conduct a four-week in-service institute for 30 precollege chemistry teachers from Washington and other states in the Pacific Northwest, during each of the summers of 1987, 88, and 89. Follow-up activities, aimed at establishing a lasting network for regional teachers, will include the development of curricular units and various modes of inservice teaching by institute graduates, the creation of academic year minicourses, and the continuing exchange of new institute materials. The content of the workshop, based on experience in the summer of 1986, will feature lectures on "The Interactions of Energy with Matter and a second series of lectures which will address different themes in each of the project years: "The Chemistry of Metals," "Chemistry of Non- Metals," and "Environmental Chemistry." In addition, each summer will feature a component on the Frontiers of Chemistry, including lectures and site visits on such subjects as Enviromental Chemistry, Modern Analytical Chemistry, Surface Chemistry, and Medical Imaging. Three afternoons per week will be devoted to laboratory work, participants will receive assistance in preparing and presenting demonstrations, and there will be an introduction to the use of computers in chemistry. In addition, all participants are expected to give pedagogical presentations to their colleagues, to prepare a library report, and to participate in workshop sessions devoted to issues in teaching. Thirty teachers (estimated to be 27 from high school and 3 from junior high school) will be selected each year from applications solicited from Washington and other states in the Pacific Northwest. Non-commuters will be housed and fed at the University, with expenses covered from the grant, and all will receive stipends of $200 per month. The teachers will receive nine academic quarter credits for their participation in this institute, and another two on completion of a curriculum unit. Outreach and network activities are expected, and will be supported by academic year minicourses.

在这个项目下，华盛顿大学化学系将在1987年、1988年和1989年的每个夏天，对来自华盛顿和太平洋西北部其他州的30名大学预科化学教师进行为期四周的在职研究。旨在为区域教师建立持久网络的后续活动将包括编制课程单元和由研究所毕业生进行在职教学的各种方式，开设学年迷你课程，以及继续交换新的研究所材料。讲习班的内容，根据1986年夏天的经验，将以“能量与物质的相互作用”的讲座为特色，并将在每个项目年讨论不同主题的第二系列讲座：“金属化学”、“非金属化学”和“环境化学”。此外，每年夏天将以化学前沿为特色，包括环境化学、现代分析化学、表面化学和医学成像等主题的讲座和实地考察。每周将有三个下午用于实验室工作，参与者将在准备和演示演示方面得到帮助，并将介绍计算机在化学中的应用。此外，所有参与者都要向他们的同事作教学报告，准备一份图书馆报告，并参加专门讨论教学问题的讲习班。每年将从华盛顿州和太平洋西北地区的其他州征集申请中选出30名教师（估计有27名高中教师和3名初中教师）。非通勤者将在大学住宿和吃饭，费用由补助金支付，所有人每月都将获得200美元的津贴。参加本课程的教师将获得9个学分，完成课程单元后将获得另外2个学分。拓展和网络活动，并将由学年迷你课程支持。
