9355523 Sarquis This project will build upon Teaching Science with TOYS. Through TOYS over 475 K-12 teachers nationwide have brought toy based science into their classrooms using nearly 100 activities. TOYS: CAPS will 1. Actively cultivate district level systemic implementation of toy based physical science education. There will be 180 participants over 4 summers. Teams of 2-3 teachers and one administrator will participate in a 3-week summer workshop which includes working directly with students in a summer camp. Academic year follow up will include fall and spring sessions either at the Miami University host site or a regional University Affiliate site where participants will report on activities share sessions and exchange ideas. In service workshops will be held with the tecnical support being provided by TOYS staff and/or University Affiliates. 2. Over a three year period 18 TOYS graduates per year will undergo extensive 'training' to enhance their pedagogical content knowledge and develop leadership skills to become district Leaders. This program will overlap with the Teacher/Administrator Program (TAP) in which teams of 36 under prepared teachers (grades K-9) and administrators will attend programs run by the TOYS leaders and faculty. 3. University Affiliates (two college or university science or faculty members per summer) will participate to replicate the program regionally to create TOYS centers throughout the US and to implement hands on TOY based activities in local schools. University Affiliates also include toy-based activities in their pre-service science education courses. 4. Through the Teacher/Researcher Program 12 peer writers per year will work with TOYS faculty to research, develop and test activiites and teacher resource modules. In TOYS: CAPS 378 teachers representing 66 district teams and six university affiliates will directly participate over the 41 months of the project. An estimated 3,000 additional teachers will be r eached through in-service and other outreach activities. It is to be noted that academic year programming will focus on regional teams within commuting distance and summer programming will target a national audience.

9355523 Sarquis这个项目将建立在用玩具教授科学的基础上。通过玩具，全国超过475名K-12教师通过近100项活动，将以玩具为基础的科学带入课堂。玩具：CAPS将1。积极培育区级系统实施以玩具为主的物理科普教育。将有180人参加，为期4个夏天。由2-3名教师和1名管理员组成的团队将参加为期3周的暑期工作坊，其中包括在夏令营中直接与学生合作。学年的后续活动将包括在迈阿密大学主办地或地区大学附属网站举行的秋季和春季会议，参与者将在那里报告活动、分享会议和交流想法。将举办在职讲习班，由玩具工作人员和/或大学附属机构提供技术支持。2.在三年的时间里，每年将有18名玩具毕业生接受广泛的“培训”，以提高他们的教学知识，并培养领导技能，使其成为地区领导人。该计划将与教师/管理员计划(TAP)重叠，在TAP中，由36名准备不足的教师(K-9年级)和管理员组成的团队将参加由玩具领导人和教职员工运营的计划。3.大学附属机构(每年夏天两名学院或大学理工学院或教职员工)将参与在地区范围内复制该计划，在美国各地创建玩具中心，并在当地学校实施以动手为基础的玩具活动。大学附属机构还在其职前科学教育课程中包括以玩具为基础的活动。4.通过教师/研究人员计划，每年将有12名同行作者与玩具教师合作，研究、开发和测试活动和教师资源模块。在玩具方面：代表66个地区团队和6个大学附属机构的CAPS 378名教师将在41个月的项目中直接参与。估计将通过在职和其他外联活动再培训3 000名教师。需要指出的是，学年方案将侧重于通勤距离内的区域团队，夏季方案将以全国受众为目标。
