Leadership Resource Teams to Implement Interdisciplinary Middle School Science

格鲁吉亚大学将与当地 国家系统倡议项目，以加强 中学学科交叉 领导力资源团队（由4名名师组成， 他们的科学主管和两名大学科学家）， 东南部的九个学区。 这些团队将 参加三个夏季领导学院， 旨在建立教师的科学知识基础， 教学，并将重点放在科学，技术和 社会（STS）问题，与教师的 当地社区。 这些团队还将开发 将STS问题与知识联系起来的教学模块 生物和物理世界的一部分。 这项建议对教师的提高是适当的，因为 它的目的是准备领导教师团队谁将 与同事合作，将跨学科科学带到 中学生在他们的学校。 非NSF费用分摊约占金额的14.4% 要求NSF。

The University of Georgia will collaborate with the local State Systemic Initiative projects to enhance interdisciplinary science in the middle school by developing leadership resource teams (consisting of 4 master teachers, their science supervisor, and two college scientists) from nine school districts in the Southeast. These teams will participate in three summer leadership institutes which are designed to build teachers' science knowledge base and teaching, and which will focus on Science, Technology and Society (STS) issues that are relevant to the teachers' local communities. These teams will also develop instructional modules linking concerns for STS to knowledge of the biological and physical world. This proposal is appropriate for teacher enhancement because it is designed to prepare teams of Leader Teachers who will work with colleagues to bring interdisciplinary science to middle school students in their schools. Non-NSF cost-sharing is approximately 14.4% of the amount requested from NSF.
