Rural Education in Alaska

美国科学促进会北极分会每年在阿拉斯加或加拿大西部举行一次会议。1988年会议将于1988年10月7日至10日在阿拉斯加的费尔班克斯举行。会议的主题是科学教育，由阿拉斯加大学与费尔班克斯北极星学区联合组织。该项目寻求资金，为阿拉斯加州偏远地区的中学教育工作者提供旅行援助。会议在费尔班克斯举行，以配合当地的在职教师培训期。预计将有数百名中学教育工作者参加，来自阿拉斯加和加拿大的数百名科学家以及来自非阿拉斯加机构和组织的发言人也将参加。研讨会、特别会议和主题演讲将涵盖偏远北部地区独特的广泛的科学教育需求和解决方案，包括内容、概念、交付技术和培训。各级科学家和教育工作者将有机会讨论激励农村和本地学生从事科学和工程职业的方法和成功与失败。

The Arctic Division of the American Association for the Advancement of Science holds an annual conference either in Alaska or western Canada. The 1988 Conference will be held in Fairbanks, Alaska, October 7-10, 1988. The theme of the Conference is Science Education and is being organized by the University of Alaska in conjunction with the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District. This project seeks funding to provide travel assistance to secondary school educators from the far-reaches of the State of Alaska. The Conference is being held in Fairbanks to coincide with the local teacher-in-service training periods. Several hundred secondary school educators are expected to attend and be joined by several hundred scientists from Alaska and Canada and speakers from non-Alaskan institutions and organizations. Workshops, special sessions and keynote speakers will cover a wide range of science education needs and solutions unique to remote northern regions, including content, concepts, delivery techniques and training. Scientists and educators at all levels will have the opportunity to discuss approaches, and successes and failures in motivating rural and native students for science and engineering careers.
