North Carolina Leadership Network for Earth Science Teachers

9355614 Rowlett该项目将为北卡罗来纳州6-12年级的地球科学教师骨干提供内容丰富、领导力培训、网络发展和现场支持。随后，他们将按照国家课程在地球科学课程中引入实地观测项目。在六个地区，将由大师教师和受过专门训练的地球科学家进行为期三周的暑期研修。在三个夏季的每一个夏季，在lea的支持下，将在不同的地区举办两个学院，每个学院招收25名教师组成2人小组。在为期一天的会前讲习班的支持下，以设计具体地点的需求评估，会后工作人员和地球科学家实地考察，后续会议和在职发展，该项目将编写专门设计的手册，以便在学校现场实施地球科学实地项目，并将示范实践学习的最佳教学技术。教师们还将准备一份地球科学行动计划，以改进他们学校的地球科学课程，并为他们的同事提供服务。

9355614 Rowlett This project will provide content enrichment, leadership training, network development, and on-site support to a cadre of earth science teachers in grades 6-12 from North Carolina. Subsequently they will introduce field-based observational projects into their earth science courses in conformity with the state curriculum. In six regions, three week summer institutes will be conducted by master teachers and specifically trained earth scientists. During each of three summers two institutes, each enrolling 25 teachers as 2-member teams with LEA-support, will be held at different regional sites. Supported by one-day pre-meeting workshops to devise site- specific needs assessments, post-meeting site visits by staff and earth scientists, follow-up meetings, and inservice development, the project will prepare specifically designed manuals for implementing earth science field projects on school sites and will model best teaching techniques for hands-on learning. Teachers will also prepare an Earth Science Action Plan to improve their school's earth science curriculum and to provide inservice to their colleagues.
