This proposal is a collaborative effort between the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) and the Oregon Science Teachers Association (OSTA) designed to enhance K-8 science through two major initiatives: 1) a ten month teacher-in- residence (TIR) program at the Museum that will utilize a sabbatical-leave staff development design (4 teachers/year for a total of 12 over three years), and 2) a two-week (60- 80 hours) Summer Institute for K-8 Oregon teachers (30/year for a total of 90 over three years) conducted by project staff and TIRs; the Institute program will incorporate TIRs' experiences of the past year at the Museum and will utilize Museum facilities and professional support. As part of the their sabbatical application to participate in the Teacher- in-Residence plan, prospective TIRs will be expected to develop with their administrators a dissemination plan for their home school districts. This project is appropriate for the Teacher Enhancement Program because it (1) is designed to enhance the science knowledge and teaching of leader teachers through a year- long emersion in the informal science environment of a museum as well as through academic courses in science content and methodology; (2) contains an amplification plan which will involve the TIRs both in a summer institute for 30 teachers from throughout the state, and in ongoing support within their districts throughout the year; and (3) serves as a model for an alternative and innovative means to teacher enhancement in K-8 science education. The non-NSF cost sharing amount is approximately 26% of the amount requested from NSF.

这项提议是俄勒冈州科学与工业博物馆(OMSI)和俄勒冈州科学教师协会(OSTA)之间的合作努力，旨在通过两个主要举措加强K-8科学：1)博物馆的10个月的驻校教师(TIR)计划，将利用休假-休假工作人员发展设计(4名教师/年，在三年内总共12次)，2)由项目工作人员和TIR举办为期两周(60-80小时)的俄勒冈州K-8教师暑期学院(三年共90人，30人/年)；该研究所的计划将纳入TIR在过去一年中在博物馆的经验，并将利用博物馆设施和专业支持。作为参加教师驻校计划的休假申请的一部分，未来的TIR将与其管理员一起为其所在的学区制定一项传播计划。这个项目适合于教师提升计划，因为它(1)旨在通过在博物馆的非正式科学环境中进行为期一年的再现以及通过科学内容和方法方面的学术课程来加强领导教师的科学知识和教学；(2)包含一项扩大计划，该计划将在全州为30名教师设立一个暑期学院，并在其所在地区全年持续提供支助；以及(3)作为K-8科学教育师资强化的替代和创新手段的典范。非NSF费用分摊金额约为NSF申请金额的26%。
