Leadership Institutes To Promote Effective Computer Usage InMiddle And Secondary School Laboratories

这一为期四年的项目通过培训基于微型计算机的工具和现代教学法，改进了中学物理、生物、化学和地球科学教学。来自纽约、宾夕法尼亚州和佐治亚州八个地理区域的49名硕士教师通过两个为期四周的暑期学校接受培训。第一个研究所侧重于材料开发，第二个研究所举办研讨会。教师可以使用以前开发的材料和暑期期间得到支持的持续课程开发工作。反过来，教师领导又为400名额外的教师举办地区讲习班。在两年的时间里，他们每年支持和培训他们所在地区的6至10名教师。此外，他们还可以为教师提供持续的帮助。35%的配套资金由受赠人提供。

This four-year project improves middle and secondary school physical science, biology, chemistry and earth science instruction through training in microcomputer-based tools and modern pedagogies. Forty-nine master teachers from eight geographical areas in New York, Pennsylvania and Georgia are trained through two four-week summer institutes. The first institute emphasizes materials development, the second conducting workshops. The teachers have access to previously developed materials and ongoing curriculum development efforts supported during the summers. The teacher leaders, in turn, conduct area workshops for 400 additional teachers. they support and train between six and ten teachers in their area for each of the two years. Moreover, they are available to offer ongoing assistance to the teachers. Matching funds of 35% are provided by the grantee.
