9454397 Zielinski BISCITS or Biotechnology Initiative for Systemic Change in the Teaching of Science is a program that will change the way our young people view modern technology in science. The first and foremost way to do this is enhance our nation's teachers ability to effect such change. In order to succeed, BISCITS will start by retraining the workforce at both the middle and high school level by recruiting teacher teams from school districts in the Pennsylvania area. This retraining has many facets. First, teachers need to become current and fluent about molecular biology and biotechnology subject matter and the types of employment open to those students wishing to pursue these areas as careers. Also, BISCITS will provide sessions discussing ethical issues that are being raised by biotechnology. BISCITS will make the teacher participants "biotechnology-literate."

[454397] Zielinski“科学教学系统变革生物技术倡议”是一个将改变年轻人对现代科学技术看法的项目。要做到这一点，首先也是最重要的方法是提高我国教师实现这种变化的能力。为了取得成功，bisits将从重新培训初中和高中的劳动力开始，从宾夕法尼亚州地区的学区招募教师团队。这种再培训有很多方面。首先，教师需要对分子生物学和生物技术的主题以及那些希望从事这些领域的职业的学生的就业类型掌握最新和熟练的知识。此外，bicits将提供讨论生物技术引起的伦理问题的会议。bisits将使教师参与者具备“生物技术素养”。
