This program is designed to train 20 science supervisors and 80 science teachers to replicate and implement specific experiential methodologies using applications of the built environment (bridges, buildings and beams) to increase the interest of middle school students in the study of science and mathematics. These methodologies were developed over the past 15 years by Dr. Mario Salvadori. The program, which will be conducted in several phases at the City College of The City University of New York, focuses on an experimental training model for instructors. For the summer of 1990, The City College and participating districts will identify and recruit 20 appropriate science supervisory candidates for Phase I of the program. At the same time curriculum materials, hands-on activities, and teaching strategies will be refined for this phase of the project. Upon the completion of these steps, selected supervisors will be trained by Dr. Salvadori and his assistants using these materials on the built environment. They will teach both content and methodology to the participants. This comprises Phase II of the program. In Phase III, six qualified supervisors, chosen from the initial 20, will train 60 selected middle school teachers (in three groups) in the Salvadori program replicating their own training. Simultaneously, Dr. Salvadori will train an additional complement of 20 teachers. Beginning in 1990, the workshops are scheduled for 4-hours, after school, once a week for 15-weeks. Participants will earn 4 graduate credits. In Phase IV of the program, 60 teachers taught by the supervisors and the 20 teachers taught directly by Dr. Salvadori will implement the program in their own schools. They will receive support in their schools on an ongoing basis from project staff, and will be invited to periodic conferences at The City College to reinforce the basic ideas fostered by the program. Throughout the program a thorough evaluation will be conducted to ascertain the effect and transferability of the Salvadori program to schools where Dr. Salvadori is not directly involved. Cost sharing in an amount of $590,514 equals 205% of the NSF award.

该项目旨在培训20名科学监督员和80名科学教师，使他们能够利用建筑环境（桥梁、建筑物和梁）的应用来复制和实施特定的体验方法，以提高中学生对科学和数学研究的兴趣。这些方法是Mario Salvadori博士在过去15年里开发的。该项目将在纽约城市大学的城市学院分几个阶段进行，重点是对教师的实验性培训模式。在1990年夏天，城市学院和参与地区将确定并招募20名合适的科学主管候选人参加该计划的第一阶段。与此同时，课程材料、实践活动和教学策略将在项目的这一阶段得到完善。在完成这些步骤后，选定的主管将由Salvadori博士和他的助手在建筑环境中使用这些材料进行培训。他们将向参与者讲授内容和方法。这包括该计划的第二阶段。在第三阶段，从最初的20名主管中选出6名合格的主管，将在萨尔瓦多项目中培训60名选定的中学教师（分三组），复制他们自己的培训。同时，萨尔瓦多博士将培训另外20名教师。从1990年开始，讲习班安排在放学后每周四小时，为期15周。参与者将获得4个研究生学分。在项目的第四阶段，60名由导师授课的教师和20名由Salvadori博士直接授课的教师将在他们自己的学校实施该项目。他们将在他们的学校得到项目工作人员的持续支持，并将被邀请参加城市学院的定期会议，以加强该计划培养的基本思想。在整个方案中，将进行一次彻底的评估，以确定萨尔瓦多方案在萨尔瓦多博士没有直接参与的学校的效果和可转移性。费用分摊额为590,514美元，相当于NSF奖金的205%。
