Cornell Institute on Science and the Environment for Teachers

卡尔森·康奈尔大学教师科学与环境研究所这个为期五年的项目建议每年为20名教师提供为期三周的培训，总共为100名直接增强的教师提供培训。另外100名教师将在康奈尔大学以外的地方接受二级培训，由接受了最多六周额外培训的原教师组成的小组进行培训。教育和培训将以水生系统为中心。此外，还将举办一系列与学院相关主题的学年研讨会。教师团队开发和实施当地项目的要求也将到位。该项目的目标是：1)加强中学科学教师对环境相关科学的认识；2)提高教师使用适当的科学和教学方法和工具的技能；3)支持教师领导网络；4)资助地方课程项目，整合学校科学并在社会背景下探索科学；5)在科学教学中促进学生原创实验的运用。该项目的费用占基金会请求支持的49%。

Abstract ESI-9454428 Carlsen Cornell Institute on Science and the Environment for Teachers This five year project proposes to provide education and training for 20 teachers each year in a three week workshop for a total of 100 teachers directly enhanced. An additional 100 teachers will be enhanced through secondary training at sites away from Cornell University by teams of the orignal teachers who have received up to six weeks of additional training. The education and training will be centered on aquatic systems. There will also be a series of academic year workshops on specific institute related topics. A requirement that teams of teachers develop and implement local projects will also be in place. The goals of the project are to 1) Strengthen the knowledge of secondary science teachers about environmentally related science; 2) Update teachers' skills in using appropriate scientific and pedagogical methods and tools; 3) Support a teacher leadership network; 4) Sponsor local curriculum projects that integrate the school sciences and explore science in its social context; and 5) Promote the use of original student experimentation il science teaching. This project has a cost share of 49% of the requested support from the Foundation.
