The Lawrence Hall of Science, in conjunction with New York Hall of Science and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, will offer a series of three-week summer institutes to experienced elementary and middle school teachers from throughout the United States. The institutes will provide a range of experiences and resources for teaching astronomy and space science through classroom activities keyed to participatory planetarium programs, modern science updates, and field trips to observatories and planetariums. Two institutes per summer, each accommodating 25 teacher- leaders, will be conducted in 1992, 1993, and 1994, for a total of 150 teacher-leaders. Participants will communicate with an additional 100 teacher-leaders who attended similar institutes in 1989-90, via newsletters and meetings at NSTA national conventions. This proposal is appropriate for the Teacher Enhancement Program because it is national in scope, and is designed to enhance science education in an area of science that is growing in its impact upon and interest to teachers and their students, but about which most teachers have little or no background. Non-NSF cost-sharing is approximately 66% of the amount requested from NSF.

劳伦斯科学馆将与纽约科学馆和太平洋天文学会合作，为来自美国各地的有经验的中小学教师提供一系列为期三周的暑期课程。这些研究所将通过参与天文馆项目的课堂活动、现代科学更新以及对天文台和天文馆的实地考察，为天文学和空间科学的教学提供一系列经验和资源。1992年、1993年和1994年每年夏季举办两个研习班，每个研习班可容纳25名教师领导，共150名教师领导。与会者将通过通讯和国家科协全国大会的会议与另外100名1989- 1990年参加过类似研究所的教师领导进行交流。这一建议适用于教师提升计划，因为它的范围是全国性的，旨在加强科学领域的科学教育，这一领域对教师和学生的影响和兴趣正在不断增加。但大多数教师对此几乎没有背景。非国家科学基金费用分摊约占国家科学基金要求的金额的66%。
