This project is a five year program that will provide in- service education for high school and middle school biology teachers. Project goals are to update teachers' content knowledge in the biological sciences, increase their research experience, and increase their experience developing and using hands-on student activities. Innovative courses for a new master's degree in biology teaching will be tested. In addition, the project will promote continuing collaboration between precollege and university science faculty of the University of Arizona. Activities for participating teachers to be offered at the University of Arizona include the study of exemplary curricula,the study and modification of the Introductory Biology laboratories, and research opportunities in biology and education. Interactive courses on pedagogy in biology, developing hands-on lessons and, special topics in biology will also be offered. All activities are designed to maximize interaction between precollege science teachers and university faculty in the biological sciences and education. Stipends will be provided for participants and graduate credit will be given for all activities. Approximately 150 teachers in Tucson and surrounding communities will participate in project activities. A network of Master Teachers will be established from program participants. Master Teachers will conduct one-week workshops at the University of Arizona and at Northern Arizona University for other teachers in the state which will be cost-shared by local school districts. These workshops will serve approximately 270 additional teachers in Arizona. Cost sharing equals 98.4 % of the NSF award.

该项目为期五年，将为高中和初中生物教师提供在职教育。 项目目标是更新教师在生物科学方面的内容知识，增加他们的研究经验，并增加他们开发和使用学生实践活动的经验。 新生物学硕士学位的创新课程将接受测试。 此外，该项目还将促进亚利桑那大学预科学院和大学科学学院之间的持续合作。 亚利桑那大学为参与教师提供的活动包括示范课程的研究、生物导论实验室的研究和修改以及生物学和教育方面的研究机会。 还将提供有关生物学教学法的互动课程、开发实践课程以及生物学专题。 所有活动的目的都是为了最大限度地提高大学前科学教师和大学教师在生物科学和教育方面的互动。 将为参与者提供津贴，并为所有活动提供研究生学分。 图森及周边社区约 150 名教师将参加项目活动。 项目参与者将建立一个名师网络。 名师将在亚利桑那大学和北亚利桑那大学为该州的其他教师举办为期一周的研讨会，费用将由当地学区分摊。 这些讲习班将为亚利桑那州另外大约 270 名教师提供服务。 费用分摊相当于 NSF 资助的 98.4%。
