Cross-Curricular Systems Thinking & Dynamic Using STELLA: Project CC-STADUS

该项目将培训一大批科学、数学和社会研究教师进行系统思维。在36个月内，大约100名教师将学会使用建模系统，包括Stella，即使是低端的Macintosh电脑也可以使用它来表示和解决复杂的问题。22名教师将成为积累、开发和传播与数学、科学、技术和社会有关的模型的核心团队。与当地行业和机构的伙伴关系通过提供教师开发相关模式所需的持续支持来提供帮助。尽管该项目只直接服务于俄勒冈州的教师，但它包括对教师的其他支持，如教育工作者全国用户组的信息，以允许共享模型的方式建立网络，以及在提供有用的现实世界模型方面的重大商业参与。通过这个项目，教师将开始为他们的课程建立跨学科的应用程序。这些模型帮助学生理解和表示复杂的过程。受赠人提供22%的匹配成本。

This project will train a substantial number of teachers of science, mathematics and social studies in systems thinking. In 36 months, approximately 100 teachers will learn to use modeling systems, including STELLA which is available for even low-end Macintosh computers, to represent and solve complex problems. Twenty-two teachers will be the core team which accumulates develops and disseminates models related to mathematics, science, technology and society. Partnerships with local industry and agencies help by providing the ongoing support teachers need to develop relevant models. Even though the project directly serves only teachers in Oregon, it includes other supports for teachers such as the information of a national user's group for educators, networking in a way which permits sharing models, and significant commercial involvement in providing useful real world models. Through this project, teachers will begin building interdisciplinary applications for their courses. These models help students to understand and represent complex processes. The grantee provides matching costs of 22%.
