Program Development Project for the Enhancement of Teacher Preparation

9354055加强教师培训的格兰杰计划开发项目圣路易斯地区卓越教师培训合作(RECEPT)正在设计一项全面的区域努力，以重新设计、开发和部分测试圣路易斯地区K-8教师培训计划中的数学和科学部分。参与的机构包括一所州立大学、密苏里大学圣路易斯分校(财政代理)、一所州立学院、哈里斯-斯托州立学院、两所小型私立学院、丰邦学院和圣路易斯大学，以及圣路易斯地区的三个学区：罗克伍德、圣路易斯和大学城。这些机构加起来占圣路易斯1991/92年度颁发的初级证书总数的95%以上(500个证书中的480个)。重新设计的教师培训计划包括三个学期的综合科学课程和紧密耦合的方法课程，两个学期的数学综合方法课程和一个学期的顶峰课程，围绕科学、技术和社会主题整合数学和科学概念。实地体验与课程整合在一起。重新设计团队的特点是数学和科学教师、数学和科学教育工作者以及合作的硕士教师之间的密切合作。重新设计的课程强烈反映了NCTM为数学制定的指导方针和NSTA为科学制定的指导方针。*y

9354055 Granger Program Development Project for the Enhancement of Teacher Preparation The St. Louis Regional Enhancement Collaborative for Excellence in Preparation of Teachers (RECEPT) is designing a comprehensive regional effort to redesign, develop and partially test the mathematics and science component of the K-8 teacher preparation program in the St Louis region. Institutions participating include one state university, the University of Missouri-St Louis (the fiscal agent), one state college, Harris-Stowe State College, two small private colleges, Fontbonne College and St. Louis University, and three school districts within the St Louis area, Rockwood, St. Louis and University City. Together these institutions account for over 95% (480 of 500 total) of the elementary certificates awarded in St Louis in 1991/92. The redesigned teacher preparation program includes a three semester integrated science class with tightly coupled methods courses, a two semester sequence of mathematics with integrated methods courses and a one semester capstone course that integrates mathematics and science concepts around a science, technology and society theme. Field experience is integrated with the courses. The redesign team features close cooperation between mathematics and science faculty, mathematics and science educators, and cooperating master teachers. The redesigned courses strongly reflect the guidelines established by the NCTM for mathematics and the NSTA for the sciences. ***y
