This is a three year program sponsored by San Jose State University which will provide leadership training, science content instruction, and hands on laboratory and demonstration activities to 85 teachers, grades 7-12, from about 30 schools in the local area. The target group will be teacher-leaders in science education in the schools. A high percentage of the students in these schools will not be college bound but will need background in the sciences in order to work in the local industries many of which are science oriented. The schools serve minority and disadvantaged communities. These teachers, after the program, will become Supervisors of Student Teachers and will carry on as mentors/advisors to the pre-service teachers so that what they have learned in their teacher education programs will be reinforced in their student teaching experiences. Thus a new generation of teachers will enter the profession trained and experienced in-up-to date science content, pedagogy and hands-on activities. The project teachers are also expected to serve as resource agents for their colleagues with the objective of having all science teachers eventually use current science pedagogy. The National Science Foundation is providing funds in the amount of $401,023 for the project. These funds are being matched by $178,777 from the local school district and San Jose State University. This amounts to approximately 45% in matching funds.

这是一个由圣何塞州立大学赞助的为期三年的项目，将为来自当地约30所学校的85名7-12年级的教师提供领导力培训、科学内容指导、动手实验室和演示活动。目标群体将是学校科学教育的教师带头人。这些学校中有很大一部分学生不一定要上大学，但需要有科学背景才能在当地行业工作，其中许多行业都是以科学为导向的。这些学校为少数族裔和弱势群体服务。课程结束后，这些教师将成为实习教师的导师，并将继续担任职前教师的导师/顾问，以便他们在教师教育课程中学到的知识将在他们的学生教学经验中得到加强。因此，新一代教师将进入这一专业，在最新的科学内容、教学方法和实践活动方面受到培训并具有丰富的经验。预计项目教师还将作为其同事的资源代理人，目标是让所有科学教师最终使用当前的科学教育法。国家科学基金会将为该项目提供401,023美元的资金。与这些资金相匹配的是来自当地学区和圣何塞州立大学的178,777美元。这相当于配套资金的45%左右。
