9618711 Tomanek The North Dakota Science Teacher Enhancement Program (ND-STEP) involves 20 teachers per year in a 14-month program of research and inservice activities, at one of North Dakota's research universities. During each of 4-years 10-pairs of middle and high- school science teachers from North Dakota and Minnesota will participate in ND-STEP. Each pair will work with one scientist. The 6-week summer research experience is complemented by completion of a graduate course on inquiry teaching and attendance at four full-day sessions during the academic year where the focus is on implementation of action plans and teaching by inquiry. Teachers may earn seven graduate credit hours for the summer activities and 2-Continuing Education credits for the academic year sessions. In years 2-4 a small group of "master" teachers will be selected as ND-STEP Adjunct Faculty. Their preparation includes working with NSF supported curriculum materials such as SEPUP, ChemCom, A Private Universe, etc. They will conduct science seminars for their peers about the research they've done and lead inservice sessions on the NRC Science Standards and inquiry teaching. An ND- STEP Steering Committee will meet twice a year to guide the project.

9618711 Tomanek 北达科他州科学教师增强计划 (ND-STEP) 每年让 20 名教师在北达科他州的一所研究型大学开展为期 14 个月的研究和在职活动计划。 在每 4 年期间，来自北达科他州和明尼苏达州的 10 对初中和高中科学教师将参加 ND-STEP。 每对将与一名科学家合作。 为期 6 周的暑期研究经验还包括完成探究性教学研究生课程，并在学年期间参加四次全日制课程，重点是行动计划的实施和探究性教学。 教师可以通过暑期活动获得 7 个研究生学分，并通过学年课程获得 2 个继续教育学分。在 2-4 年级，一小群“大师”教师将被选为 ND-STEP 兼职教师。 他们的准备工作包括使用 NSF 支持的课程材料，如 SEPUP、ChemCom、A Private Universe 等。他们将为同行举办有关他们所做研究的科学研讨会，并主持有关 NRC 科学标准和探究教学的在职课程。 ND-STEP 指导委员会每年召开两次会议来指导该项目。
