Inservice Program in Biotechnology for Secondary Life Science and Agriculture

该项目是一个面向高中生物和农业教育教师的三年计划，包括1)将在威斯康星大学河瀑布分校举办的三个暑期研习班，以及2)由研究所参与者领导的12个为期2-4天的区域研讨会。大学教职员工将协助工作坊的教学。暑期学院是1990年夏季利用威斯康星州NDEA TITLE II基金试行的成功学院的改进版本。该计划的目的是向300多名高中和农业教育教师提供生物技术领域的新知识和教学技能。该计划的独特之处在于，将以植物和动物生物技术的应用为特色。它的独特之处还在于，将强调生物和农业教育教师合作的机会。来自以往暑期学院的硕士教师将作为学院工作人员参加，分享成功的课堂经验和教学策略。将提供相当于NSF奖励11%的金额作为费用分摊。

This project is a three year program for high school biology and agriculture education teachers that includes 1) three summer institutes to be held at The University of Wisconsin - River Falls, and 2) a series of twelve 2-4 day regional workshops led by institute participants. University faculty will assist in the teaching of the workshops. The summer institutes are an improved version of a successful institute piloted during the summer of 1990 with Wisconsin NDEA Title II funds. The purpose of this program is to provide over 300 high school and agriculture education teachers with new knowledge and teaching skills in the area of biotechnology. This program is unique in that applications of plant and animal biotechnology will be featured. It is also unique in that opportunities for biology and agriculture education teachers to work together will be emphasized. Master teachers from previous summer institutes will participate as institute staff so as to share successful classroom experiences and teaching strategies. An amount equal to 11% of the NSF award will be provided as cost sharing.
