This three-year teacher preparation project will develop and evaluate a model for recruiting and preparing midcareer persons to teach secondary school science and mathematics. Mills College and the Lawrence Hall of Science (University of California, Berkeley) faculties will address the issues of the critical shortage of well-qualified secondary science and mathematics teachers through an innovative two-year graduate Midcareer Mathematics and Science Program (MCMS). The aims of the program are to: (1) attract midcareer persons with strong academic and applied backgrounds in mathematics and science; (2) develop model subject update and methods courses for the midcareer population; (3) implement a preservice teacher education program specifically tailored to these midcareer candidates. The new model courses will emphasize recent developments and applications in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology and their relationships to the high school curriculum; the integration of concepts within and across fields; and hands-on, interactive teaching strategies developed in subject-specific methods classes and in school-based experiences. Course development, implementation of the model program, and evaluation of program effects will lead to a self-sufficient component of the Mills College credential program, to technical reports of program development and effect, and to instructional materials which can be implemented at other sites.

这个为期三年的教师准备项目将制定和评估一个 招聘和培养中等教育人员的模式 学校科学和数学。 米尔斯学院和劳伦斯大厅 科学（加州大学伯克利分校）学院将解决 严重缺乏合格的中等科学和 数学教师通过一个创新的两年研究生中期职业生涯 数学和科学课程（MCMS）。 该方案的目标是：（1）吸引具有以下能力的职业中期人员 在数学和科学方面有很强的学术和应用背景;（2） 为职业生涯中期制定示范学科更新和方法课程 人口;（3）实施副教师教育计划 专门为这些处于职业生涯中期的求职者量身定制。 新模式 课程将强调最近的发展和应用， 数学、物理、化学和生物学领域及其 与高中课程的关系;概念的整合 在领域内和跨领域;和动手，互动教学策略 在特定学科的方法课程和校本 经验 课程开发，示范方案的实施， 对计划效果的评估将导致一个自给自足的 米尔斯学院证书计划的组成部分，以技术报告 项目开发和效果，以及指导材料， 可以在其他网站上使用。
