Partial Support for the Department of Energy National Teacher Enhancement Project

小行星9253358 国家教师增强项目（NTEP）是能源部（DOE）国家实验室合作的五年努力，以改善K-8年级的科学教育。 该项目旨在培养带头教师骨干，他们将成为同事的榜样和导师，并将成为系统改革举措的地区领导人。 目前的工作还将包括几个其他实验室。 这些实验室将通过加强其不断增长的集体努力，并通过能源部国家网络为地区教师提供资源，优化其对科学和数学教育的影响。 在该项目期间，240多名教师将在实验室接受直接培训，他们每个人都将为所在学校的其他教师开展在职培训，这将影响到全国的大量教师。 这一建议是适当的教师增强，因为它是一个领导项目，将使小学教师进入科学界，提供广泛的教师和国家实验室之间的网络，并通过其真正的协作设计，利用有效的协同作用之间的参与实验室。 它也与FCCSET和其他国家努力协调，促进和加强改善科学教育的努力相一致。 非NSF的费用分摊大约是NSF要求的金额的120%。 ***

9253358 Bowen The National Teacher Enhancement Project (NTEP) is a collaborative five-year effort of the Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories to improve science education in grades K-8. The project is designed to create cadres of lead teachers who will serve as role models and mentors for their colleagues and who will be district leaders in systemic reform initiatives. Several additional laboratories will be included in the current effort. The laboratories will optimize their impact on science and mathematics education by strengthening their growing collective efforts and by providing regional teachers with access to resources through the DOE national network. During this project over 240 teachers will receive direct training at the laboratories, and each of them will conduct inservice programs for other teachers in their schools, this impacting a large number of teachers nationally. This proposal is appropriate for teacher enhancement because it is a leadership project which will bring elementary teachers into the science community, provide extensive networking among teachers and the National Laboratories, and leverage effective synergy among the participating Laboratories through its truly collaborative design. It is also consistent with FCCSET and other national efforts to coordinate, facilitate, and strengthen efforts to improve science education. Non-NSF cost-sharing is approximately 120% of the amount requested from NSF. ***
