This project focuses on the learning component by teachers and subsequent implementation of Biotechnology in the classroom. The commitment of the project staff, the National Association of Biology Teachers, EDVOTEK Corporation and school districts toward that end is strong and extends beyond the life of the grant in order to make this a self-sufficient program educationally and financially. Four sets of "mini-courses" per year will be offered to secondary school teachers of biology and chemistry from both public and private schools in conjunction with national, state and regional meetings (e.g. NABT, ACS) as well as special courses such as AP biology and chemistry training program. In addition to the instruction in the concept, the "hands-on" experience in basic procedures will be integrated. Teachers will leave not only with the experience of having done the actual experiments, but with sufficient materials to begin the implementation in their own classrooms. This project builds on previously funded projects which offered four-week biotechnology workshops in several sites around the country. These projects selected and worked with biology and chemistry teachers from secondary schools and colleges who had the potential to become leaders and mentors in their communities in the implementation and integration of biotechnology topics in classroom and laboratories. Cost-sharing equivalent to 80% of the NSF request is provided by NABT, EDVOTEK, Georgetown University and participating school districts.

该项目侧重于教师的学习部分， 后续 生物技术在课堂上的应用。 的承诺 项目工作人员，全国生物教师协会，EDVOTEK 公司和学区朝着这一目标是强大的， 超出 为了使这一计划能够自给自足， 在教育和经济上。 每年为中学提供四套“迷你课程” 来自公立和私立学校的生物和化学教师 在 与国家、州和区域会议（例如NABT、ACS）结合 以及 作为特殊课程，如AP生物和化学培训计划。 在 除了概念上的指导，“动手”的经验， 基本 程序将被整合。 老师们不仅会带着 做过实际实验的经验，但有足够的 材料 开始在他们自己的教室里实施。 该项目建立在以前资助的项目， 四周 在全国多个地点举办生物技术讲习班。 这些 项目 从中学挑选生物和化学教师， 有潜力成为领导者的学校和大学， 导师 他们的社区参与生物技术的实施和整合 主题 在教室和实验室。 NABT提供相当于NSF要求的80%的费用分摊， EDVOTEK，乔治敦大学和参与学区。
