AISES Math/Science Teacher Enhancement Project

美国印第安人科学与工程学会（AISES）和科罗拉多科学联盟将合作实施这个为期三年的项目，旨在解决威斯康星州和密歇根州三个学区的数学/科学需求，这些学区有大量（90-100%）印第安人人口。促进中小学教师合作；每个地方小组将由三名小学教师、一名美国土著教师助理和一名高中教师组成。该项目包括每年一次为期三周的夏季研讨会、四次实习、为期两天的领导力研讨会以及课堂观察和访问，将解决美国土著学生教师在过去六年中通过几次需求评估确定的既定和确定的需求；这些包括需要动手策略，增加内容知识，在数学/科学教学中更多地介绍美国印第安文化，以及更多地培训合作和发现学习策略。这个领导建议适合于教师提升，因为它旨在提高科学知识和教学，并发展特别需要的人群的教师团队的领导技能。非国家科学基金费用分摊约为向国家科学基金申请的金额的4%。

The American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) and the Colorado Alliance for Science will collaborate in the implementation of this three-year project designed to address math/science needs of three Wisconsin and three Michigan school districts which have a large (90-100%) Native American population. Collaboration between elementary and secondary teachers will be promoted; each local team will consist of three elementary teachers, a Native American teacher-aide, and one high school teacher. The project, which includes an annual three-week summer workshop, four inservices, a two-day Leadership Seminar, and classroom observations and visits, will address the stated and identified needs of teachers of Native American students as determined through several needs assessments conducted by AISES over the past six years; these include the need for hands-on strategies, increased content knowledge, more American Indian culture in teaching math/science, and more training in cooperative and discovery learning strategies. This leadership proposal is appropriate for teacher enhancement because it is designed to enhance the science knowledge and teaching, and develop leadership skills of teams of teachers from particularly needy population. Non-NSF cost-sharing is approximately 4% of the amount requested from NSF.
