Public and Private Sector Partnership Program in Engineeringfor Secondary Science and Mathematics Teachers

这是一项为期四年、以研究为本的工程学教师提升计划，以中学科学和数学教师为对像。它涉及一所公立大学、一个地区学校系统和当地产业。该项目将通过辅导班和参加研究和讲习班相结合的方式，向教师介绍选定的高优先技术领域，从而为他们建立一条持续的职业发展道路。该项目的核心是为期六周的集中暑期讲习班和研究经验，随后是下一学年的补充活动。从参与机构抽调的一组工程师和科学家将负责辅导会议并监督研究和研讨会活动。为了扩大和维持其影响，项目工作人员将在学校一级建立一个导师和顾问系统，以协助教师将他们的方案经验转化为有效的教育模块和其他教学资源，从而实现可衡量的课程升级。

This is a four-year, research-oriented teacher enhancement project in engineering directed at the secondary school science and mathematics teachers. It involves a public university, a regional school system, and local industries. The project will establish an on-going career development path for teachers by providing them an introduction to selected high priority technical areas, using a combination of tutorial sessions and participation in research and workshops. At the heart of the project is a six week concentrated summer workshop and research experience, followed by complementary activities in the ensuing academic year. A team of engineers and scientists drawn from the participating institutions will be responsible for the tutorial sessions and supervision of research and workshop activities. In order to broaden and sustain its impact, the project staff will create a system of mentors and resource persons at the school level to assist teachers in the translation of their program experiences into effective educational modules and other teaching resources which will lead to measurable curricular upgrading.
