Rutgers/Industry Program for Teachers of Modern Biology

罗格斯大学/工业现代生物学教师计划旨在在三年内使全国90名准备充分的高中教师的生物学背景现代化和深化，并为他们提供具有现代科学和技术兴趣主题代表性的教材（模块）。该计划将包括三个主要活动：(i)模块开发和修订：在此期间，教师和科学家将共同开发和修订科学和技术兴趣主题的模块，以便在全国范围内普遍分发。这些修订将基于参与所有三个项目活动的教师提出的建议。（ii）领导学院：在这里，生物教师将在领导教师和教职员工的帮助下学习这些模块，参加由大学和行业科学家举办的研讨会，并考虑其他教学策略；（三）暑期项目；在这里，班主任将和一群高中女生一起使用这些模块。该计划的一个重要组成部分是建立学术/行业关系和由会议、通讯和计算机网络组成的支持系统。罗格斯大学和其他机构提供了相当于国家科学基金会奖金近30%的资金。

The Rutgers/Industry Program for Teachers of Modern Biology is designed to modernize and deepen the biology background of 90 well-prepared high school teachers nationwide over three years, and to provide them with teaching materials (modules) representative of topics of modern scientific and technological interest. The program will consist of three main activities: (i) module development and revision: during this time teachers and scientists will work together to develop and revise modules on topics of scientific and technological interest for general distribution throughout the country. These revisions will be based on suggestions made by the teachers involved in all three of the program's activities. (ii) a leadership institute: here, biology teachers will study the modules with the assistance of lead teachers and faculty, attend seminars developed by university and industry scientists and consider alternative teaching strategies; and (iii) a summer program; here, the lead teachers will use the modules with a group of high school girls. An essential component of the program is the establishment of an academic/industry relationship and a support system consisting ofmeetings, a newsletter and a computer network. An amount equivalent to nearly 30% of the NSF award is being contributed by Rutgers University and other sources.
