Teacher Education Addressing Mathematics and Science in Boston and Cambridge (TEAMS - BC)

9354052夏皮罗教师教育在波士顿和剑桥(Teams-BC)团队中解决数学和科学-BC是哈佛大学、麻省理工学院、惠洛克学院、马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校、波士顿公立学校和剑桥公立学校合作的项目。合作正在解决小学、中学和中学科学和数学教师准备方面的薄弱环节：(1)让大学和学院的科学和数学教师以及教育人员和教师参与教师准备计划中科学和数学课程的合作开发；(2)强调为理解和整合内容领域和有效的教学实践而进行的教学；(3)创建十所与教师准备计划合作的专业发展学校--四所小学、两所中学和四所高中--特别强调数学和科学，在正在开发的探究、动手、基于案例研究的方法中培训指导教师；(4)在学校为教师和大学教职员工举办研讨会，有效地讨论教学中的问题。该项目的其他重点是招募少数族裔学生参加教师培训计划，创建和促进地区商业-学术-学校合作计划，在该计划中，职前和在职教师将参与在商业和工业中应用数学和科学，并利用这些知识开发供课堂使用的教学材料；以及与波士顿和剑桥的主要数学和科学倡议进行协调。

9354052 Shapiro Teacher Education Addressing Mathematics and Science in Boston and Cambridge (TEAMS - BC) TEAMS-BC is a collaboration of Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Wheelock College, University of Massachusetts-Boston, Boston Public Schools, and Cambridge Public Schools. The collaborative is addressing the weaknesses in the preparation of elementary, middle, and secondary science and mathematics teachers by (1) involving university and college science and mathematics faculty, along with education faculty and teachers, in the cooperative development of science and mathematics courses in teacher preparation programs; (2) emphasizing teaching for understanding and integrating content area and effective instructional practices; (3) creating ten Professional Development Schools which cooperate with the teacher preparation programs - four elementary, two middle, and four high school - with special emphasis on mathematics and science, training mentor teachers in the enquiry, hands-on, case study based approach being developed; and (4) establishing seminars at schools for teachers and university faculty to discuss problems in teaching effectively. Other emphases of the project are the recruitment of minority students to teacher preparation programs, creation and promotion of area business-academic-school partnership programs in which both pre-service and in-service teachers will participate in the application of mathematics and science in business and industry and use this knowledge to develop pedagogical materials for classroom use; and coordination with major mathematics and science initiatives in Boston and Cambridge.
