High School Psychology Teacher Workshop -- A Network Approach

在三年的时间里，每年都会选出40名高中心理学教师，在休斯顿大学参加为期四周的研讨会。工作坊由多个部分组成，每位教师将学习心理学、教育理论和研究，帮助发展有效的示范和教学技巧，并促进高中和大学教师之间的交流。在接下来的两年里，每位老师将同意完成一个心理学特定领域的研究项目。每位教师都应该访问一个电子网络，在那里，每月至少发布一次5到10页的更新。这些更新最初将由休斯顿大学和西卡罗莱纳大学的教师编写，但将在随后的几年中扩大，包括来自其他大学的教师。该项目的成本份额占拨款请求的21.3%。

Each year for three years, 40 teachers of high school psychology will be chosen to attend a four week workshop at the University of Houston. The workshop has a multiplicity of components where each of the teachers would learn about psychology, educational theory and research, aiding the development of effective demonstrations and teaching techniques, and fostering communication between high school and college teachers. Over the course of the next two years, each teacher will agree to complete a research project in some particular area of psychology. Each teacher is expected to access an electronic network where a five to ten page update will be posted at least once each month. These updates will be prepared initially by the faculty of the University of Houston and Western Carolina University, but will be broadened in succeeding years to include faculty from other universities. The cost share of this project represents 21.3% of the grant request.
