Teacher Development Program for Underprepared High School Chemistry Teachers

该项目的关键是为24所高中举办为期三周的夏季研讨会 化学教师，从东北部的俄亥俄州选出。 在这个密集的 研讨会，他们将研究化学结构和键，精力充沛， 化学和生物化学方面。 此外，他们将 参加科学教育课程的一部分。 特征 课程包括讲座，实验室练习，视频指导- 录制科学演示和接触计算机应用。 该计划将提供一个介绍“真实的世界”的应用 化学通过实验室和工业图尔斯参观和讲座， 工业科学家。 问题集、电脑软件和录像带 教师将在课堂上对教材进行测试， 以及这些试点活动的结果 将在周六的后续研讨会上分享。 24名参与者将从少于5人的人中选出 在中学阶段有多年的化学教学经验和/或 对化学教学毫无准备的人。 将特别考虑 给予克利夫兰学校系统的申请人， 学生的教师，学生的教师，学生的教师， 代表团体。 教师每周将得到200美元的津贴 他们在圣母院的生活费用将由赠款支付。 他们将有资格获得学分的形式， 继续教育单位。

Key to this project is a three-week summer workshop for 24 high school chemistry teachers, selected from northeastern Ohio. In this intensive workshop, they will study chemical structure and bonding, energetic aspects of chemistry, and biochemistry. In addition, they will participate in a course component in science education. Features of the program include lectures, laboratory exercises, instructions in video- taping science demonstrations, and exposure to computer applications. The program will provide an introduction to the "real world" of applied chemistry through laboratory and industrial tours and lectures by industrial scientists. Problem sets, computer software, and videotaped materials will be tested by the teachers in their classrooms during the following academic year, and the results of these piloting activities will be shared in follow-up Saturday workshops. The 24 participants will be selected from those with less than five years of chemistry teaching experience at the secondary level and/or those unprepared for chemistry teaching. Special consideration will be given to applicants from the Cleveland school system, to members of under-represented groups, and to teachers of students from under- represented groups. The teachers will receive stipends of $200 per week and their living expenses at Notre Dame will be covered by the grant. They will be eligible to receive academic credit in the form of continuing education units.
