University of Washington Summer Institute for High School Chemistry Teachers

这个为期三年的项目由华盛顿大学赞助，将为准备充分的化学教师提供为期四周的暑期强化课程。每年将从包括阿拉斯加、爱达荷、蒙大拿、俄勒冈、华盛顿和怀俄明州在内的西北地区，通过竞争方式选出30名教师。该计划的重点将是环境化学。本课程将包括学习内容、教学演示的发展、使用现代仪器和计算机以及微型实验。教师们还将参加一个当代问题研讨会。教师将接受与在职活动相关的主题，并在项目结束后承担教师领导责任。本提案费用分摊额相当于NSF基金的36%。

This three year project is sponsored by the University of Washington and will provide an intensive four week summer program for well prepared teachers of chemistry. Thirty teachers will be selected each year on a competitive basis from the Northwest, including Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming. The focus of the program will be environmental chemistry. The course will entail learning of content, development of teaching demonstrations, working with modern instrumentation and computers and microscale experiments. The teachers will also participate in a contemporary issues seminar. Teachers will be taking topics relating to inservice activities and will be expected to assume teacher leadership responsibilities after the program is over. The amount of cost share in this proposal is equivalent to 36% of the NSF funds.
