The DataStreme Project: Teacher Enhancement through the Use of Current Environmental Data Across the Curriculum

ESI-9453205 这个国家项目汇集了美国气象学会与国家气象局，天气频道和AMS专业协会的成员合作。 在五年期间，将在每年两次的关于大气和相关地球环境的强化课程中直接培训4 100名幼儿园至12年级的教师。该课程以电子传输的数据流和真实的实时提供的学习材料为基础。它将通过以问题为中心或事件驱动的自然环境调查强调综合科学的教学。那些完成了22天培训的领导教师将在他们的学校担任顾问，达到至少41 000名教师的第二层。与此同时，他们将努力提高管理人员、家长和学校董事会成员对学校电子传输数据流的教育潜力的认识。 该课程将通过由经验丰富的教师、大学教师和专业气象学家组成的50个地方执行小组实施。该项目的这方面的关键是它将通过小组会议的组合，通过互联网或更常见的使用天气频道的垂直消隐间隔交付。

ESI-9453205 This national project brings together the American Meteorological Society in cooperation with the National Weather Service, The Weather Channel and members of the AMS professional society. During five years, 4,100 teachers from grades K-12 will be trained directly, in an intensive course offered twice yearly, on atmospheric and related Earth environments. The course is based on electronically transmitted data streams and learning materials delivered in real time. It will emphasize the teaching of integrated science through problem-focused or event driven investigations of the natural environment. Leader teachers, those who have completed the twenty two days of training, will act as resource persons within their schools, reaching a second tier of at least 41,000 teachers. At the same time, they will work towards raising the awareness administrators, parents and school board members of the educational potential of electronically-delivered data streams in their schools. The course will be implemented through 50 Local Implementation Teams composed of experienced teachers, college faculty and professional meteorologists. The KEY to the this aspect of the project is it will be its delivery via a combination of group meetings, by Internet or more commonly using the Vertical Blanking Interval of the Weather Channel.
