This one-year project will offer re-training opportunities for a number of uncertified middle school/high school chemistry teachers. The project will utilize the skills of Master Teachers, including one or more National Science Foundation Presidential Awardees, selected from 15 school systems in Northern Louisiana. During the academic year 1988-89, the Master Teachers, in conjunction with faculty from the Departments of Chemistry, and Science Education, will plan, develop, and field-test a resource handbook designed to aid all teachers of chemistry. During the summer of 1989 chemistry course-work will be provided for 20 chemistry teachers in the fifteen systems. The selected participants will be teaching with temporary certificates or outside their area of certification. The chemistry course will consist of two, four week sessions. Each four week session will involve daily class-meetings in the morning and two afternoon laboratory meetings each week. Participants will obtain a background in chemistry while at the same time accumulating materials, ideas, and experience that will enhance their skills as chemistry teachers. During the fall of 1989 the Master Teachers, with the assistance of chemists from Louisiana Tech University, will serve as system level chemistry consultants. Using the handbook as a base, three in-service programs will be offered in five sites in North Louisiana. Each participant will earn a total credits of 6 hours for lecture and 2 hours for laboratory, adding up to a total of eight credit hours of introductory chemistry for successful completion of the course. This project offers the opportunity of studying the impact of a concentrated exposure to chemistry instruction on uncertified teachers Louisiana Tech University has contributed an amount equal to 41% of the National Science Foundation award.

这个为期一年的项目将为一些未经认证的初中/高中化学教师提供再培训机会。该项目将利用大师教师的技能，包括从路易斯安那州北部15个学校系统中挑选的一名或多名国家科学基金会总统奖获得者。在1988-89学年，首席教师将与化学和科学教育系的教师一起计划、开发和实地测试一本旨在帮助所有化学教师的资源手册。在1989年夏季期间，将为15个系统的20名化学教师提供化学课程作业。被选中的参与者将使用临时证书或在其认证范围之外进行教学。化学课程将包括两个或四周的课程。每个四周的课程包括每天上午的班级会议和每周两个下午的实验室会议。参与者将获得化学背景，同时积累材料、想法和经验，以提高他们作为化学教师的技能。1989年秋季，在路易斯安那理工大学化学家的协助下，硕士教师将担任系统级化学顾问。以该手册为基础，将在北路易斯安那州的五个地点提供三个在职项目。每位学员将获得6小时的授课学分和2小时的实验室学分，如果顺利完成课程，总共将获得8学分的化学入门课程。这个项目提供了研究集中接触化学教学对未经认证的教师的影响的机会路易斯安那理工大学捐赠的金额相当于国家科学基金奖的41%。
