Secondary Science Teacher Career Ladder (SSTCL)

这个项目将增加渴望在城市环境中教书的中学教师，特别是少数民族和妇女候选人的数量和质量。该项目代表了皇后学院和纽约科学馆之间的合作活动，将在两年的时间内进行。本课程的目标如下：通过有针对性的招聘计划增加候选人数量；2. 增强专业意识，深化科学内容知识；3. 增加教育视角，建立同伴支持网络。项目参与者的留存率将得到提高，导师将提供辅导。专业意识和额外的内容深度将通过学生在纽约科学馆实习的参与来提高。学生们将在博物馆当“有偿”讲解员。

This project will increase the quantity and quality of secondary school teachers, especially minority and women candidates, who aspire to teach in the urban setting. The project represents a collaborative activity between Queens College and the New York Hall of Science and will be conducted over a two year period. The objectives of this program are as follows: 1. increase the pool of candidates through a program of targeted recruitment; 2. enhance professional awareness and deepen science content knowledge; 3. and increase educational perspectives and build peer- support networks. The retention of the participants in the program will be enhanced and mentor tutoring. Professional awareness and additional content depth will be enhanced by participant student involvement as student interns at the New York Hall of Science. The students will be "paid" explainers at the museum.
