This project, sponsored by the Center for Science, Mathematics and Technology Education at Colorado State University, will offer a three year interdisciplinary science program to 40 middle school and junior high school teachers from representative districts in the state of Colorado. Each summer these teachers will be taught the fundamental concepts of biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics and physics appropriate to the grade level using a content intensive thematic approach. In the academic year following the summer program the participants, with the help of project staff, will work toward implementing the new curriculum in their schools. They will do this by incorporating the new modules into the everyday curriculum, by conducting whole school projects and by offering teacher-to-teacher workshops. When the project is completed there will remain a cadre of teacher leaders who will be able to disseminate innovative instructional models for middle school interdisciplinary science. The NSF award is being matched with funds from the school districts and the university by an amount equivalent to 52% of the NSF grant.

该项目由科罗拉多州立大学科学、数学和技术教育中心赞助，将为来自科罗拉多州代表性地区的40名初中和初中教师提供为期三年的跨学科科学课程。每年夏天，这些教师将使用内容密集的主题方法，教授适合年级水平的生物、化学、地质、数学和物理的基本概念。在暑期课程结束后的一学年，参与者将在项目工作人员的帮助下，努力在他们的学校实施新课程。他们将通过将新模块纳入日常课程，通过开展全校项目和提供教师对教师研讨会来实现这一目标。当项目完成后，将保留一群教师领导干部，他们将能够传播创新的中学跨学科科学教学模式。国家科学基金会的奖金将与学区和大学的资金相匹配，金额相当于国家科学基金会拨款的52%。
