9453159 Kniseley This Local Systemic Change Through Teacher Enhancement project is the result of a collaboration between the East Bay Educational Collaborative (EBEC) and Rhode Island College. Resources from a consortium of higher education institutions, the Rhode Island Department of Education, community organizations and agencies, and the private sector will be combined to implement an integrated, hands-on, kit-based science curriculum in the elementary schools of the eight school districts in EBEC. The project will make a long term commitment to bringing this curriculum into the middle and high schools. During the project, elementary teachers will work cooperatively with academic and industry scientists to learn effective science teaching methods through the use of nationally acclaimed and validated modular units. Science professionals will keep linked together with the teachers via the Internet throughout the project so to build ongoing support and leadership for systemic change. During the five-year project, there will be four two-year cycles of professional development. Year one will consist of a seven- day summer institute to explore modular units that will be implemented in the classroom. Direct support for project teachers will be included throughout the school year. Year two will be a three-day "mini-institute" to re-examine all four modules used in year one and discuss instructional strategies and interests. Preservice college students will co-teach with new project teachers during this year. Six hundred EBEC teachers will be enhanced over the life of the project and 800 preservice college students will have participated in the project. Cost sharing is 219% of the total NSF requested budget. 9453159 Kniseley This Local Systemic Change Through Teacher Enhancement project is the result of a collaboration between the East Bay Educational Collaborative (EBEC) and Rhode Island College.

小行星9453159 这个通过教师增强项目的地方系统性变化是东湾教育合作（EBEC）和罗得岛学院之间的合作的结果。 来自高等教育机构、罗得岛教育部、社区组织和机构以及私营部门的资源将结合起来，在EBEC八个学区的小学实施一个综合的、实践的、以工具包为基础的科学课程。 该项目将作出长期承诺，将这一课程纳入初中和高中。 在该项目期间，小学教师将与学术和工业科学家合作，通过使用全国知名和验证的模块化单元来学习有效的科学教学方法。 科学专业人员将在整个项目期间通过互联网与教师保持联系，以便为系统性变革提供持续的支持和领导。 在为期五年的项目中，将有四个两年的专业发展周期。 第一年将包括一个为期七天的暑期研究所，以探索将在课堂上实施的模块化单元。 对项目教师的直接支持将包括在整个学年。第二年将是为期三天的“迷你学院”，重新检查第一年使用的所有四个模块并讨论教学策略和兴趣。 职前大学生将在今年与新的项目教师合作教学。 在项目实施期间，将提高600名欧洲基础教育委员会教师的能力，800名非全日制大学生将参加该项目。 费用分摊是NSF要求的总预算的219%。 9453159 Kniseley通过教师增强项目的本地系统性变化是东湾教育协作（EBEC）和罗得岛学院之间的合作的结果。 来自高等教育机构联盟、罗得岛教育部、社区组织和机构以及私营部门的资源将结合起来，在EBEC八个学区的小学实施一个综合的、实践的、以工具包为基础的科学课程。 该项目将作出长期承诺，将这一课程纳入初中和高中。 在该项目期间，小学教师将与学术和工业科学家合作，通过使用全国知名和验证的模块化单元来学习有效的科学教学方法。 科学专业人员将在整个项目期间通过互联网与教师保持联系，以便为系统性变革提供持续的支持和领导。 在为期五年的项目中，将有四个两年的专业发展周期。 第一年将包括一个为期七天的暑期研究所，以探索将在课堂上实施的模块化单元。 对项目教师的直接支持将包括在整个学年。第二年将是一个为期三天的“小型研究所”，重新审查第一年使用的所有四个模块，并讨论教学策略和兴趣。 职前大学生将在今年与新的项目教师合作教学。 在项目实施期间，将提高600名欧洲基础教育委员会教师的能力，800名非全日制大学生将参加该项目。 费用分摊是NSF要求的总预算的219%。 *** ***
