Brooklyn College of the City University of New York will carry out a project to upgrade the science preparation of elementary teachers. All students at the College, including elementary education majors, are required to complete a core science requirement consisting of four 2- credit science courses surveying the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, and geology. The project will build upon this core to develop five additional courses in science content and pedagogy. The courses will consist of an Interdisciplinary Natural Science Course and two pairs of education methods and science laboratory courses. The Interdisciplinary Course will provide the preservice teacher with a more in-depth learning experience in "pure science" which cuts across the science disciplines involving a variety of topics of interest to the teacher. As an example, an Interdisciplinary Course might investigate the chemical composition of rocks and minerals, the geological structure of the earth, and applications from physics involving energy and wave propagation during earthquakes. The education methods/science laboratory pair courses will link laboratory study of selected interdisciplinary science topics, such as Urban Environmental Chemistry or Biological Energy, with an examination of the various scientific processes of inquiry and of the students' learning processes and attitudes. The project also provide workshops and follow-up programs for teachers who will serve as mentors for students in the program, and the program will be infused with an urban multicultural perspective and bolstered by a support system for women and minority students. Brooklyn College's cost- sharing will be 33% of NSF's contribution.

纽约城市大学布鲁克林学院 将实施一个项目， 的小学教师。 学院的所有学生， 包括小学教育专业， 完成一个核心科学要求，包括四个2- 学分科学课程调查生物学领域， 化学物理和地质学 该项目将建设 在此基础上，开发了五个额外的课程， 科学内容和教学法。 课程将包括 一门跨学科自然科学课程和两对 教育方法和科学实验室课程。 的 跨学科课程将提供 有较深入学习经验的教师， 科学”，它跨越了科学学科 涉及教师感兴趣的各种话题。 例如，跨学科课程可能 研究岩石和矿物的化学成分， 地球的地质结构和应用 从涉及能量和波传播的物理学中， 地震 教育方法/科学实验室配对 课程将把选定的实验室研究 跨学科的科学主题，如城市 环境化学或生物能源， 对各种科学探究过程的考察 以及学生的学习过程和态度。 的 该项目还提供讲习班和后续方案， 教师将担任学生的导师 该计划将注入一个城市， 多元文化视角，并得到支持系统的支持 女性和少数民族学生。 布鲁克林学院的费用- 共享将占NSF贡献的33%。
