9353561 Snow "The Connecticut Museum Collaborative for Science Education" is teacher enhancement program that will serve approximately 5,000 middle school teachers (and their students) from throughout Connecticut over a three-year program period. The proposed program has been developed cooperatively by four of Connecticut's Science Museums and Centers (The Discovery Museum, The Maritime Center at Norwalk, Mystic Marinelife Aquarium, and Talcott Mountain Science Center), in consultation with the school districts they serve and the Connecticut Academy for Education in Mathematics, Science, and Technology, the State's leadership organization solely devoted to enhancing education in mathematics, science, and technology. The Collaborative seeks to enliven and enhance the teaching of science, mathematics, and technology by drawing upon the resources of Connecticut's science-rich institutions and related businesses and industry. The proposed project will provide direct services to a core group of 72 middle school teachers and their students in eight urban and suburban school districts at the four participating museums and in their classrooms, as well as teacher training, curriculum development, and networking activities. Larger numbers of teachers and their students will be served through a planned series of interactive video teleconferences. A theme-based approach will be followed in which the unifying theme of "Earth Resource Monitoring" will serve to connect the activities at the four cooperating museums. The central concept of the project is collaboration among museums throughout the state to provide a bridge between science-rich institutions and the schools for teacher enhancement, curriculum improvement, and student enrichment. Special program components involve the participation of business and industry through "Video Field Trips", and parents through a "Family Science" activity. The involvement of the Connecticut Academy for Education in Mathematics, Science and Technolo gy as a member of the "Connecticut Collaborative" provides a direct link for integration of project activities into Connecticut's NSF-funded Statewide Systemic Initiative.

9353561 Snow “康涅狄格州博物馆科学教育合作”是一项教师增强计划，将在三年的计划期内为康涅狄格州各地约 5,000 名中学教师（及其学生）提供服务。 拟议的计划是由康涅狄格州的四个科学博物馆和中心（探索博物馆、诺沃克海事中心、神秘海洋生物水族馆和塔尔科特山科学中心）与它们所服务的学区以及康涅狄格州数学、科学和技术教育学院（该州专门致力于加强数学、科学和技术教育的领导组织）协商后合作开发的。 该合作组织旨在通过利用康涅狄格州科学丰富的机构以及相关企业和工业的资源来活跃和加强科学、数学和技术的教学。 拟议项目将在四个参与的博物馆及其教室为八个城市和郊区学区的 72 名中学教师及其学生的核心群体及其学生提供直接服务，以及教师培训、课程开发和网络活动。 将通过计划中的一系列交互式视频电话会议为更多的教师和学生提供服务。 将采用基于主题的方法，其中“地球资源监测”的统一主题将连接四个合作博物馆的活动。 该项目的核心理念是全州博物馆之间的合作，在科学丰富的机构和学校之间架起一座桥梁，以提高教师水平、改进课程和丰富学生的知识。 特别计划的组成部分包括企业和工业通过“视频实地考察”参与，家长通过“家庭科学”活动参与。 康涅狄格州数学、科学和技术教育学院作为“康涅狄格合作组织”成员的参与，为将项目活动纳入康涅狄格州国家科学基金会资助的全州系统计划提供了直接联系。
