This proposal is designed to establish a Science Institute for elementary teachers at the University of California, Davis, and is based on a similar NSF-funded project at U.C. San Diego. The Institute will invite 75 elementary school teachers identified as leaders to participate in a program spanning a three-year period, beginning in July, 1993. Teams of 2-3 teachers from each participating school will participate each year in a 4-wk summer Institute followed by monthly Saturday seminars (8) during the academic year. During the summer institutes, participants will attend lectures and labs on biological science (Yr 1), earth and space science (Yr 2), and physical science (Yr 3); during the Saturday sessions of the academic year, teachers will work on integration of these disciplines into themes suggested by the California Science Framework. Outstanding UCD scientist-educators will emphasize major concepts and principles in an interactive setting that utilizes demonstrations and small and large group discussion, and master teachers and science educators will work with participants in adapting exemplary curricular materials to correlate with the California Model Curriculum Guide and the California Science Framework. Districts will be expected to provide support in the form of release time, space and materials. Participants will be expected to act as resources to their schools and districts and to provide inservice workshops for other classroom teachers, reaching at least 2325 teachers in all. This project is appropriate for the Teacher Enhancement Program because it will greatly enhance the science knowledge and teaching of lead teachers, and is designed to reach a large number of their colleagues as well. The cost-sharing amount is approximately 16% of the amount requested from NSF.

该提案旨在为加州大学戴维斯分校的小学教师建立一个科学研究所，并以加州大学戴维斯分校的一个类似的 NSF 资助项目为基础。 圣地亚哥。 该研究所将邀请 75 名被确定为带头人的小学教师参加从 1993 年 7 月开始的为期三年的计划。每所参与学校的 2-3 名教师组成的团队每年将参加为期 4 周的暑期研究所，随后在学年期间每月举行周六研讨会 (8)。 在暑期学院期间，参与者将参加生物科学（第一年）、地球与空间科学（第二年）和物理科学（第三年）的讲座和实验室；在学年的周六会议期间，教师将致力于将这些学科整合到加州科学框架建议的主题中。 杰出的都柏林大学科学家教育者将在利用演示和小型和大型小组讨论的互动环境中强调主要概念和原则，大师级教师和科学教育者将与参与者合作，调整示范性课程材料，以与加州示范课程指南和加州科学框架相关联。 各地区将在发布时间、空间和材料等方面提供支持。 参与者将成为学校和学区的资源，并为其他任课教师提供在职讲习班，总共至少有 2325 名教师参与。 该项目适合教师提升计划，因为它将极大地提高领导教师的科学知识和教学，并旨在惠及他们的大量同事。 费用分摊金额约为 NSF 请求金额的 16%。
