Project UPDATE/TEI (Upgrading Practice Through Design And Technology/Engineering Education/Teacher Enhancement Initiative)

9555711托德 该提案描述了一个教师增强项目，旨在提高一批小学教师使用设计和技术的方法来整合科学，数学和技术。 该项目将加强最初的40名骨干教师，为6个州10所学校的400名二级教师做好准备。 参与提升课程的教师将分为十个教师/领队小组。 这些小组将指导项目的领导人编写设计和技术增强支持材料，包括执行资源指南和视频。 这些材料将被专门设计为联合收割机现代教学法与科学，数学和技术领域的技术内容的交付相结合。 教师/领导小组还将协助提供两个研究生课程，在10个示范点提供领导，协助社区外联研讨会，并参加为期一周的最后一年全国传播讲习班。 该项目将扩展和实施通过NSF资助的教学材料开发项目（项目更新-通过设计和技术/工程教育提升实践）开发的课程材料。

9555711 Todd This proposal describes a teacher enhancement project designed to enhance a cohort of elementary level teachers to use a design and technology approach to integrate science, mathematics, and technology. The project will enhance an initial 40 cadre teachers to prepare a cohort of 400 second tier teachers in ten schools in six states. Teachers participating in the enhancement will be divided into ten teacher/leader teams. These teams will provide guidance to the project's leadership in the development of design and technology enhancement support materials including an Implementation Resource Guide and videos. These materials will be specifically designed to combine contemporary pedagogy with the delivery of technical content in the science, mathematics, and technology areas. The teacher/leader teams will also assist with the delivery of two graduate level courses, provide leadership at 10 demonstration sites, assist with community outreach seminars, and participate in a one week, terminal year, National Dissemination workshop. This project will extend and implement the curriculum materials developed through a NSF funded instructional materials development project (Project UPDATE - Upgrading Practice through Design and Technology/Engineering Education).
