This project will provide about 60% of the funding for a third and fourth year extension of a previously funded teacher development project entitled "Expansion of Computer Education in Learning the Sciences", (ExCELS). The remaining funds for the project will be provided by Indiana University of Pennsylvania and the school districts of the participating teachers. Leadership training in both content and pedagogy will be provided for two separate groups of 60 science and mathematics teachers/coordinators during the summers of 1988 and 1989. Following the summer workshop, participants will implement project developed activities in their own classrooms, and subsequently provide inservice programs for their peers which will enable the peers to implement computer use into the teaching of their academic disciplines. Science participants will be selected from the disciplines of biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science, while mathematics participants will represent teachers of the entire grade range, K-12. The acquisition of the necessary hardware and software, as well as support for the post summer inservice programs conducted by the participants will be provided by the school districts. An electronic mail network will provide mutual support for the participants as they implement the activities in their classrooms and provide inservice to their peers. This proposal is meritorious for funding because of the quality of work produced in the phases already funded, the well-thought out plan for extending the expertise of the participants to their peers through inservice, the emphasis on the use of technology in relevant science instruction and the interdisciplinary thrust of relating science and mathematics in school systems involved. The plan for production of a resource book of the activities involved will provide further dissemination and adoption of the project results.

该项目将提供约60%的资金， 将以前资助的教师发展项目延长四年 题为“在学习科学中扩大计算机教育”， （Excels）. 该项目的剩余资金将由 印第安纳州宾夕法尼亚大学和 参与教师。 将提供内容和教学法方面的领导能力培训， 两组60名科学和数学教师/协调员 在1988年和1989年的夏天。 在夏季研讨会之后， 参与者将在自己的项目中实施项目开发活动 教室，并随后为他们的同龄人提供在职课程 这将使同行实施计算机使用到教学中， 他们的学科。 科学参与者将被选中 从生物学、化学、物理学和地球科学的学科， 而数学参与者将代表全体教师， 年级范围幼儿园12年级购置必要的硬件， 软件，以及对暑期后在职课程的支持 由参加者进行的课程将由各学区提供。 一个电子邮件网络将为 参与者在课堂上实施活动时， 为他们的同伴提供服务。 由于工作质量，这项建议值得资助 在已经资助的阶段中产生的， 通过以下方式将参与者的专业知识扩展到同行 在服务中，强调在相关科学中使用技术 教学和相关科学的跨学科推力， 学校系统中的数学。 生产计划 有关活动的资料册将提供进一步的资料， 传播和采纳项目成果。
