9619139 Weiss As part of its teacher enhancement program, NSF has supported the development of materials to improve the content knowledge and pedagogical skills of K-12 science, mathematics, and technology education teachers. The Foundation has also supported the development of materials designed to support the implementation of high quality instructional materials. This project is designed to identify those materials, evaluate them, and make them more available to the community of staff developers. The specific activities will involve the following: * Searching for existing teacher enhancement materials, including, but not limited to, those developed with NSF support; * Describing and critiquing these materials; * Creating a data base of available materials, searchable by such characteristics as target grade level range, disciplinary content, and medium (e.g., videotapes); * Developing and field-testing dissemination mechanisms such as CD-ROMs or Web sites for the quality materials; * Describing the gaps in the landscape to assist funders and PIs in targeting future development efforts to areas of greatest need. The project is being directed by Dr. Iris Weiss, President of Horizon Research, Inc.; collaborators include Dr. Anne Butler Kahle of Miami University of Ohio; Dr. Audrey Champagne of State University of New York at Albany; and Dr. Susan Friel of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, each supervising a cadre of master teachers, graduate students, and university faculty in reviewing teacher enhancement materials. Partner organizations include the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Geological Institute, the Council of State Science Supervisors, the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

9619139韦斯 作为其教师增强计划的一部分，NSF支持材料的开发，以提高K-12科学，数学和技术教育教师的内容知识和教学技能。 基金会还支持编制旨在支持实施高质量教学材料的材料。 该项目旨在识别这些材料，评估它们，并使它们更容易为开发人员社区所用。 具体活动将包括： * 搜索现有的教师增强材料，包括但不限于与NSF支持开发的材料; * 描述和评论这些材料; * 创建可用材料的数据库，可通过目标年级范围，学科内容和媒介（例如，录像带）;* 发展和实地测试分发机制，例如制作光碟或网址，以提供优质资料; * 描述整体情况的差距，以协助资助者和参与计划的机构，把未来的发展工作集中在最有需要的地方。 该项目由地平线研究公司总裁艾里斯韦斯博士指导;合作者包括俄亥俄州的迈阿密大学的安妮·巴特勒·卡勒博士、奥尔巴尼的纽约的州立大学的奥黛丽·香槟博士和查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学的苏珊·弗里尔博士，每个人都监督一批教师骨干、研究生和大学教师审查教师增强材料。 伙伴组织包括美国科学促进协会、美国地质研究所、国家科学监督员理事会、国家研究理事会、国家科学教师协会和国家数学教师理事会。
