This proposal provides a plan for the establishment of a consortia program of teacher enhancement and instructional improvement in science. The consortium involves three Historically Black Colleges and Universities in three regions of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This consortium effort will establish mechanisms for school system science education improvement. The institutions will provide training in science content and pedagogy focused on minority student achievement with the intent of increasing the pipeline to science careers for minority students. Instructional and project delivery mechanisms will include Saturday courses, summer workshops, satellite and teleconferencing facilities, and electronic news networks. All courses will be credited, if desired by participants, and structured to meet criteria for Masters' Degree Programs at Hampton University. Cost sharing is equivalent to 21% of the NSF award.

这项建议为建立科学教师强化和教学改进联盟计划提供了一个计划。该联盟涉及弗吉尼亚州联邦三个地区的三所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学。这一联盟的努力将建立改善学校系统科学教育的机制。这些机构将提供以少数族裔学生成绩为重点的科学内容和教学方法方面的培训，目的是增加少数族裔学生进入科学事业的渠道。教学和项目交付机制将包括星期六课程、暑期讲习班、卫星和电话会议设施以及电子新闻网络。如果参与者愿意，所有课程都将被计入学分，并符合汉普顿大学硕士学位课程的标准。费用分担相当于NSF奖励的21%。
