UCSD Science Teacher Institute for Elementary Science Teachers

该项目提出了圣地亚哥县学校、加州大学圣地亚哥分校、研究中心和产业界之间的合作伙伴关系，以提高小学(k-6)学校的科学教学质量。该计划为期三年，包括每年五周的校园暑期学院，以及在学年期间的一系列8次会议。第一年的课程重点是生命科学，第二年的重点是地球和环境科学，第三年的重点是物理科学。将尝试将所有科学内容领域相互结合，并与阅读和数学相结合。该项目的主要目标是培养100名资源/导师教师，他们将返回学校并提供科学内容和方法方面的在职课程。已有27个学区承诺参与该计划。这一项目对教师增强方案特别感兴趣，因为它是全县范围的，社区的所有部分都参与了合作努力，开始在初级一级改进这一系统。

This project proposes a partnership among San Diego County Schools, the University of California at San Diego, Research Centers, and industry to improve the quality of science instruction at the elementary (k-6) school level. The program will span a three year period and encompass a five week on-campus summer institute during each year of the program as well as a series of 8 meetings during the academic school year. Year One of the program will emphasize the Life Sciences, Year Two Earth and Environmental Sciences, and Year Three the Physical Sciences. An attempt will be made to integrate all science content areas with each other and with reading and mathematics. The major goal of the project is to educate 100 Resource/Mentor teachers who will return to their schools and provide inservice programs in science content and methodology. Commitments to participate in the program have been received from 27 school districts. This project is of particular interest to the Teacher Enhancement Program in that it is county-wide and involves all segments of the community in a cooperative effort to begin improving the system at the elementary level.
