The Maury Project: Exploring the Physical Foundations of Oceanography

9353370 Geer这个项目由美国气象学会与美国海军学院合作主办，由美国国家海洋和大气管理局和纽约州立大学布罗克波特分校协助，将开展为期三年半的全国教师培训计划，培训72名大学前硕士教师，学习海洋科学中选定主题的物理基础。教师将主要是中学教师(6-8年级)，还有一些高中教师(9-12年级)。所有学生都将通过竞争激烈的过程被选中，并将参加一个为期两周的暑期项目，并在学年和次年暑期进行后续跟进。所有参与者都应开展在职活动。根据以前项目的经验，预计将有1500多名教师受到该项目的影响。除师资培训部分外，该项目还利用该领域专家准备的最新信息，开发海洋科学模块。根据这些教材，将编写一份教学资源手册，包括课堂准备活动，并直接分发给教师。

9353370 Geer This project, sponsored by the American Meteorological Society in partnership with the United States Naval Academy and assisted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the State University of New York at Brockport, will conduct a three and one- half year national teacher enhancement program to train 72 master precollege teachers in the physical science foundations of selected topics in oceanographic science. The teachers will be mainly middle-school teachers (Grades 6-8), joined by some high school teachers (Grades 9-12). All will be selected through a highly competitive process and will attend a two week summer program with a follow-up during the academic year and the following summer. All participants are expected to carry out in-service activities. Based upon the experience of earlier projects it is anticipated that more than 1500 teachers will be impacted by the project. In addition to the teacher enhancement component the project develops modules in oceanographic science utilizing the most up-to-date information prepared by experts in the field. Based upon these teaching materials an instructional resource manual, including classroom ready activities will be produced and distributed directly to teachers.
