A Novel Interdisciplinary Science Teacher Education Program for The Los Angeles Unified School District with a Marine Science Thematic Approach

该提案的标题是“洛杉矶联合学区（LAUSD）采用海洋科学主题方法的新型跨学科科学教师教育计划”。这个为期三年的项目旨在将海洋科学融入到一个重组的普通科学课程中，作为一个模式，在该地区的所有学校中复制，那里的学生人数不足80%。该模式将培训一组选定的5-12年级教师（每年40人），这些教师将反过来在LAUSD中担任同伴培训师。培训将集中于综合课程，并以海洋科学为主题。该项目将以联盟提供的各种教育资源为指导。它将通过联盟和加州大学洛杉矶分校在各个机构站点和麦克亚瑟堡海洋研究中心的推广服务之间的伙伴关系来实施。该项目从1992年2月1日至1996年1月31日。分摊的费用超过了NSF要求的41%。

The title of this proposal is "A Novel Interdisciplinary Science Teacher Education Program for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) with a Marine Science Thematic Approach." The 3-year program is designed to infuse marine science into a re-structured general science curriculum that can serve as a model to be replicated in all the schools in the District, where the student population is 80% under- represented. The model will train a selected group (40 each year) of LAUSD teachers of grades 5-12, who will in turn function as peer trainers in the LAUSD. Training will focus on an integrative curriculum with a thematic emphasis on marine science. The program will be guided by various educational resources that are available through the Consortium. It will be implemented through the partnership between the Consortium and UCLA Extension services at various institutional sites and at the Fort Mac Arthur Marine Studies Center. The project runs from February 1, 1992 to January 31, 1996. The cost sharing exceeds 41% of the amount requested from NSF.
