该项目的目的是进行一次区域性的 德州工程实验学校的合作项目 在学院站，得克萨斯州的内容和教学 培训24所准备不足的高中 物理教师在三年内。 项目 利用经验丰富，非常成功的教学团队， 高中物理教师，他们接受过物理培训， 教学资源代理（PTRA）与物理学结合 社区学院和大学的教授。 的 项目包括三个组成部分。 第一个是两周 在夏季举办的一系列讲习班，重点是 最具挑战性的方面的基本概念教 高中一年级的物理课程。 第二 11月和3月举行的第二次会议 学年，是一系列后续讲习班， 补充专题。 第三部分涉及课堂 以及由资深教师到学校探访， 参与者在以下方面得到指导和援助： 方案的实施和评价。

The purpose of this project is to conduct a regional cooperative program at the Texas Engineering Experiment School in College Station, Texas for the content and pedagogical training of twenty-four (24) under-prepared high school physics teachers over a three year period. The project utilizes an instruction team of experienced, highly successful high school physics teachers who have been trained as Physics Teaching Resource Agents (PTRA's) in conjunction with physics professors from a community college and a university. The project includes three components. The first is a two week series of workshops conducted in the summer which focuses on the most challenging aspects of the basic concepts taught in the first year high school physics course. The second component, conducted in November and March of the following academic year, is a series of follow-up workshops on supplementary topics. The third component involves classroom and school visits by experienced teachers to provide participants with mentoring and assistance in the implementation and evaluation of the program.
