This proposal provides a plan for professional development and structured opportunities in science to 200 middle school teachers in four targeted urban communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. The teachers will be almost exclusively from districts whose populations are underserved and multi- ethnic. Over a period of three years, teachers will receive training in inquiry-based physical science through summer institutes and special sessions during the academic year. Training will include an intensive 80-hour summer workshop and special return sessions, based on successful existing models developed at the Exploratorium Teacher Institute. The goal of the project is to develop a core group of teachers in each of the four target communities, who have had progressively more responsible levels of involvement with hands-on science, and who, with occasional follow-up attention from the Teacher Institute, will be capable of carrying on a professional collaboration on their own. Cost sharing is equivalent to $43% of the NSF award.

该建议提供了一个专业发展计划， 为200所中学提供科学方面的结构化机会 教师在四个目标城市社区在圣 弗朗西斯科湾区。老师们几乎都是 从人口服务不足和多- 种族的。 在三年的时间里，教师将接受培训， 通过暑期学院进行探究式的物理科学 和特别会议。 培训将 包括一个80小时密集夏季讲习班， 根据成功开发的现有模式， 在探索馆教师学院 的目标 该项目是在每个学校培养一批核心教师， 四个目标社区， 负责任地参与实践科学， 在老师的偶尔关注下 研究所，将有能力进行专业 自己的合作。 费用分摊相当于NSF奖金的43%。
