Invitational Forum on Teacher Preparation for Deans of Science and Education

美国科学促进协会将于1996年2月21日至23日举办一次科学和教育学院院长教师培训邀请论坛。 50个机构团队（每个团队由来自主要研究型大学和具有大型教师培训项目的综合性大学的教育院长和科学院长组成）将参加会议，以考虑如何在学术部门和学校人员之间进行合作，以便更好地为K-12科学和数学的未来教师做好准备。 该论坛的目的是：（1）总结科学和数学教学的研究成果;（2）审议示范性教师培训计划，以模拟大学科学和教育部门与当地学校或学区之间的合作;（三）与院长讨论设计和实施示范项目的相关问题;以及（4）通知院长的机会，如国家科学基金会的合作卓越教师准备计划，从事大规模的系统性项目，旨在显着改变教师准备计划，在国家或区域的基础上，这将成为全面的国家模式。 与会者将在会前收到背景资料。 根据论坛上的讨论和提出的模式，将编写一本工作手册，包括合作建议和示范教师准备方案的组成部分，并提供给与会者和其他有兴趣改善教师准备的人。

An invitational Forum on Teacher Preparation for Deans of Science and of Education will be conducted by the American Association for the Advancement of Science from February 21-23, 1996. Fifty institutional teams (each composed of a dean of education and a dean of science from major research universities and comprehensive universities with large teacher preparation programs) will attend the meeting to consider ways in which collaborations among their academic divisions and school personnel can better prepare future teachers of K-12 science and mathematics. The purposes of the Forum are (1) to present a summary of the research results on the teaching and learning of science and mathematics; (2) to consider exemplary teacher preparation programs that model collaboration among university science and education departments and local schools or school districts; (3) to engage the deans in discussion of the issues associated with the design and implementation of such exemplary programs; and (4) to inform the deans of opportunities, such as the National Science Foundation's Collaboratives for Excellence in Teacher Preparation program, to engage in large-scale systemic projects designed to change significantly teacher preparation programs, on a state or regional basis, which will serve as comprehensive national models. Participants will receive background information prior to the meeting. Based upon discussions and models presented at the Forum, a workbook, including recommendations for collaborations and the components of model teacher preparation programs, will be produced and made available to participants and others interested in improving teacher preparation.
