The Leadership Institute for Teachers of Physics

物理教师领导学院将允许24名高中物理教师在为期四周的暑期计划中进行背景讲座、教学策略讨论和对研究实验室的实地访问，然后将当前科学感兴趣的四个物理模块引入他们自己的课程。高中理科教师与罗格斯大学教职员工、AT&amp；T贝尔实验室的工业科学家和贝尔通信研究公司合作，开发了以下模块：激光与光的本质、光波通信、磁和磁记录、半导体和晶体管。暑期班结束后，首席教师将通过数学、科学和计算机教育中心继续获得后勤和科学支持，努力将这些模块引入他们自己的课程，并为其他科学教师举办研讨会。高中科学教师作为五人团队直接与科学家合作开发科学模块，弥合了富裕和科技机构与学校之间的差距。该项目由新泽西州高等教育部、美国电话电报公司贝尔实验室、贝尔通信研究公司、默克公司和罗格斯大学联合资助。领导力学院将通过向高中科学教师提供当前科学和技术感兴趣的教学单位来传播这一材料，向教师提供与这些单位相关的背景科学知识，帮助教师制定更好地与学生进行沟通的策略和技巧，向学生说明科学原理和科学技术的新发展，在教师、大学人员和工业科学家之间建立持续的关系。教师、科学监督员和其他学校管理人员从一开始就参与了规划的所有阶段。一个特别成功的特点是，工业界和大学的科学家接受教师作为同事和合作者。老师们发现与科学家们的工作在专业上是有回报的。教师自己也参与了他们将在课堂上使用的材料的创作。

The Leadership Institute for Teachers of Physics will enable twenty-four high school teachers of physics to have background lectures, discussions of teaching strategies, and on site visits to research laboratories during a four week summer program before they introduce four physics modules of material of current scientific interest into their own courses. High school science teachers have worked with Rutgers University faculty, industrial scientists at AT&T Bell Laboratories and Bell Communications Research to develop the modules: Lasers and the Nature of Light, Lightwave Communication, Magnetism and Magnetic Recording, Semi-conductors and Transistors. After the summer institute, the Lead Teachers will receive continuing logistic and scientific support through the Center for Mathematics, Science, and Computer Education in their efforts to introduce the modules into their own courses and to hold workshops for other science teachers. High school science teachers have worked directly with scientists as a five member team to develop science modules, bridging the gap between institutions that are rich and science and technology and the schools. The project was funded by the New Jersey Department of Higher Education jointly with AT&T Bell Laboratories, Bell Communications Research, Merck and Co., and Rutgers University. The Leadership Institute will disseminate this material by providing high school science teachers with teaching units of current scientific and technological interest, provide the teachers with background scientific knowledge related to the units, help teachers develop strategies and techniques for better communication with illustration of scientific principles as well as new developments in science and technology to students, establish continuing relationships among teachers, university personnel, and industrial scientists. Teachers, science supervisors, and other school administrators have been involved in all phases of the planning from the beginning. A feature which is particularly successful is the acceptance of teachers as colleagues and collaborators by the industrial and university scientists. The teachers found the work with the scientists to be professionally rewarding. The teachers are themselves involved in the creation of the materials which they will use in their classrooms.
