9355721 Braile This four year project serves ninety earth science teachers from six midwestern states. Each year thirty teachers will attend 4- week intensive summer workshops, 2-weekend workshops during the academic year, and a 1-day workshop at a national NSTA meeting. The enhancement activities include: improving their content knowledge of current concepts and application of earth processes; introducing skills through modern technology using computers; taking an extended field trip in the midwest region; and practicing presentations and other hands-on experiences. The program takes place in two parts with the summer teacher enhancement workshops occurring during years 1, 2 and 3 while the academic year follow-up occurs in years 2, 3 and 4. The central content theme of Earth processes is complemented by activities which will prepare teachers to disseminate their understanding of earth processes through the use of materials, activities, and modeling teaching skills at local inservice workshops and regional and national presentations. Participants will be required to conduct at least one inservice workshop for their peers. This will be facilitated by providing them with guided grant writing experiences. Participants may earn six semester hours of course credit: 3-semester hours in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and 3-semester hours in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, all at Purdue University.

小行星9355721 这个为期四年的项目为来自中西部六个州的90名地球科学教师提供服务。 每年30名教师将参加为期4周的暑期密集研讨会，学年期间的2个周末研讨会，以及在国家NSTA会议上为期1天的研讨会。 强化活动包括：提高他们对地球过程的现有概念和应用的知识;通过使用计算机的现代技术介绍技能;在中西部地区进行长期实地考察;以及练习演讲和其他实践经验。 该计划分两部分进行，夏季教师增强研讨会在第1年，第2年和第3年举行，而学年后续活动在第2年，第3年和第4年举行。 地球过程的核心内容主题是补充活动，这将准备教师通过使用材料，活动和建模教学技能，在当地在职研讨会和区域和国家演示传播他们对地球过程的理解。 参加者将被要求为他们的同行举办至少一次在职讲习班。 这将通过为他们提供指导性的赠款写作经验来促进。 参与者可以获得六个学期的学分：地球和大气科学系的3个学期的学分和课程与教学系的3个学期的学分，都在普渡大学。
