International Netcourse Teacher Enhancement Coalition Project (INTEC)

9554162小叮当、协和联盟和十个合作者提供了一种独特的方法，通过计算机网络和其他技术向9-12年级的教师提供课程。合作者包括六个USIS(芝加哥、哥伦布、新奥尔良、纽约、费城、凤凰城)、一个RSI(美国印第安人科学与工程学会)、三个学区(加利福尼亚州、马萨诸塞州、肯塔基州)和费米实验室(伊利诺伊州)。他们负责当地对课程的所有支持。该项目使用创新的交付技术和新技术来支持异步教学。前18个月强调检查和改进课程交付、监测和结构的有效性。该项目的后半部分扩大了范围，包括更多的学科以及更广泛的教师。使用在线教学、真实的和“虚拟的”学习小组、视频和其他技术的组合，参与者获得相当于125个联系小时的时间。重点是让教师参与广泛的调查，并及时提供核心学科和教育战略方面的必要技能和知识方面的援助来支持这些调查。继续教育单位可用，大学毕业生学分是预期的。令人印象深刻的教师名单确保了数学和所有学校科学学科的专业知识。虽然最初只有75人参加，但预计会有925人参加。费用分摊和其他实物捐助将使该项目能够以每名教师不到900美元的费用自给自足，获得大约8个学分。成本分摊为9%。1 1

9554162 Tinker The Concord Consortium and ten collaborators provide a unique approach to delivering courses to grade 9-12 teachers through computer networking and other technologies. Collaborators include six USIs (Chicago, Columbus, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix), one RSI (American Indian Science and Engineering Society), three school districts (in California, Massachusetts, Kentucky), and Fermi Lab (Illinois). They are responsible for all local support for the courses. The project uses innovative delivery techniques and new technologies to support asynchronous instruction. The first eighteen months emphasize examining and improving the effectiveness of the course delivery, monitoring and structure. The last half of the project expands the scope to include more disciplines as well as a broader range of teachers. Using a combination of on-line instruction, real and "virtual" study groups, video, and other techniques, participants receive the equivalent of 125 contact hours. The emphasis is on getting teachers involved in extended investigations and supporting these with just-in-time assistance in the requisite skills and knowledge in core disciplines and educational strategies. Continuing Education Units are available and university graduate credit is anticipated. An impressive list of instructors ensures expertise in mathematics and all school science disciplines. Although beginning with just 75 participants, 925 are anticipated. Cost-sharing and other in-kind contributions will make the project self-sustaining at less that $900 per teacher for approximately 8 credits. Cost sharing is 9%. 1 1
