In this final phase of the Operation Physics project 252 leader teachers, who are members of nationally trained OP teams that have continued to conduct at least 72 hours of OP workshops each year, will attend The National Operation Physics Improvement Conferences to: 1) improve OP products and services, 2) disseminate exemplary locally developed enhancements to OP materials and 3) hone skills to train a cadre of additional workshop leaders in each of their own states. In accomplishing (3), the OP project will continue, during the next three years, to train and support three member teams of qualified individuals to lead physics inservice programs for 4th-8th grade teachers in their local areas using workshop kits especially developed for the project. These inservice program will provide upper elementary and middle school teachers of science with a better understanding of the physics topics typically included in their science curriculum, and supply them with ideas for effectively teaching their students about these topics. Leadership training programs are planned in each state, with the exception of Texas, South Carolina, and Connecticut which have already completed such programs. Most will be held during the summer on a college or university campus, and range from 1-4 weeks in lengths. Program presenters will include national OP staff and teams of outstanding science educators who participated in the 1988 or 1989 national OP program; all presenters have conducted numerous successful OP workshops with 4th-8th grade teachers. Support for OP leadership training programs is being provided from the National Science Foundation as well as from state and local funding sources and the American Institute of Physics. Individuals applying for participation must be professional active science educators with expertise in physics and/or pre-secondary science education. Each participant will receive a comprehensive set of workshop materials for each physics topic to use in planning and conducting inservice OP programs. Travel, subsistence, stipends and other support for the training programs very from state to state. Program participants will be required to conduct a minimum number of inservice workshops for target audience teachers after the training program, and to participate in planned follow-up activities. These peer-led workshops will introduce a large multiplier effect for OP inservice activities. Cost sharing equals 180% of the NSF award.

在操作物理项目的最后阶段，252名领导教师将参加全国操作物理改进会议，他们是经过国家培训的OP团队的成员，每年至少进行72小时的OP研讨会：1)改进OP产品和服务，2)传播当地开发的示范性OP材料，3)磨练技能，在各自的州培训更多的车间领导干部。在完成(3)的过程中，OP项目将在未来三年内继续培训和支持三个由合格个人组成的成员团队，使用专门为该项目开发的讲习班工具包，在当地为4 -8年级教师领导在职物理项目。这些在职项目将帮助中小学科学教师更好地理解科学课程中通常包含的物理主题，并为他们提供有效地教授学生这些主题的想法。除了德克萨斯州、南卡罗来纳州和康涅狄格州已经完成了这样的项目外，每个州都计划开展领导力培训项目。大多数课程将在夏季在学院或大学校园举行，时长从1-4周不等。节目主持人将包括参加1988年或1989年国家OP计划的国家OP工作人员和优秀科学教育工作者团队；所有主讲人都与4 -8年级的老师成功举办了许多OP研讨会。OP领导力培训项目由国家科学基金会、州和地方基金以及美国物理研究所提供支持。申请参加的个人必须是具有物理和/或学前科学教育专业知识的专业科学教育工作者。每位参与者将收到一套针对每个物理主题的综合研讨会材料，用于规划和实施在职OP计划。旅行，生活，津贴和其他培训项目的支持因州而异。项目参与者将被要求在培训项目结束后为目标受众教师举办最少数量的在职讲习班，并参加计划中的后续活动。这些由同行领导的讲习班将为在职OP活动带来巨大的乘数效应。费用分摊相当于NSF奖金的180%。
