Training Leadership Teachers to Enhance Science Education through Experiments and Demonstrations (SEED)

项目种子是一个为期四周的夏季讲习班， 学校教师，重点是使用廉价的 教材讲授的基本概念和原则 物理科学 该计划的核心是超过150个实验的手册 和一套支持性演示。 除了 访问当地研究和工业部门 东北大学的研究设施和会谈 教师包括在内。 参加过SEED工作坊的教师， 接受两年的领导力培训（PRO-SEED）， 准备他们进行在职活动为基础的讲习班 在他们自己的学区。这个课外活动 “教师教教师”将被命名为EX-SEED。 该项目的另一个组成部分是培训退休人员， 科学家作为科学资源代理（SRA'S）， 学校（RE-SEED） 在46个月的资助48领导教师，16同行 教师和70名退休技术专业人员将 教。 该计划的其他功能包括使用： * 现场互动电视广播由Massett's 教育电信公司（MCET） 卫星网络前种子领导人和参与者之前， 每一个EX-SEED车间。 * 博物馆风格的走廊展品将分布在 学生的学校。 费用分摊估计为85%。

Project SEED is a four week summer workshop for middle school teachers that focuses on the use of inexpensive materials to teach the basic concepts and principles of physical science. The core of the program is a manual of over 150 experiments and a kit of supporting demonstrations. In addition to workshop sessions visits to local research and industrial facilities and talks by Northeastern University research faculty are included. Teachers who have participated in SEED workshop will then receive two years of leadership training(PRO-SEED) to prepare them to conduct in-service activity based workshops in their own school districts. This after school program of "teachers teaching teachers" will be named EX-SEED. An additional component of the project is to train retired scientists to act as Science Resource Agents(SRA'S) within the schools(RE-SEED) Over the 46 months of funding 48 leader teachers, 16 peer teachers and 70 retired technical professionals will be taught. Additional features of the program involve the use of: * Live interactive telecasts distributed by Massachusett's Corporation for Educational Telecommunications(MCET) satellite network to EX-SEED leaders and participants prior to each EX-SEED workshop. * Museum-style corridor exhibits to be distributed within the schools for students. Cost sharing is estimated at 85%.
