Teacher Research Update Experience (TRUE)

这个国家项目的重点是在佛罗里达大学为期7周的暑期住宿项目中整合研究和教育。为期7周的夏季住宿部分开始于为期一周的生物技术和物理/工程内容的密集实践研讨会以及计算机教学。然后，每个老师被分配给不同的实验室科学家，成为实验室研究团队的一员，每周工作30小时。除此之外，还有一个领导力组成部分，旨在使教师能够在其所在地区实现变革。第一学年招收25名初高中教师，第二学年40名，第三学年35名，第四学年40名，第五学年45名。教师可以获得毕业学分。

ABSTRACT ESI 9554180 Koroly The focus of this national project is the integration of research and education in a 7-week summer residential program at the University of Florida. The 7-week summer residential portion begins with a week of intensive, hands-on workshops in Biotechnology and Physics/Engineering content along with computer instruction. Then each teacher is assigned to a different laboratory scientist and becomes part of the lab's research team for 30-hours per week. This is complemented by a leadership component designed to empower teachers to effect change in their local districts. The program will enroll 25 middle and high school teachers the first year, 40 the second, 35 the third, 40 the fourth and 45 in the fifth. Teachers may earn graduate credit.
