9653966 Sternheim The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Teacher Education Collaborative (STEMTEC) links the members of the Five Colleges, Incorporated consortium - the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges - with the three area community colleges, Springfield Technical, Holyoke, and Greenfield, and the neighboring school districts in a collaborative effort to promote reform in the science and mathematics preparation of teachers. PALMS, the Massachusetts NSF State Systemic Initiative program, and the Continental Cablevision Corporation are also participating. In order to improve the preparation of pre-service teachers, stimulate the interest of undergraduate science and mathematics majors in the teaching profession, and increase the educational effectiveness of science and mathematics courses, the collaborative draws on its expertise to make use of effective active-learning strategies: cooperative learning, investigation-based teaching, educational technology, new assessment techniques, and opportunities to teach. Teams including college science, mathematics, and education faculty members are re-designing existing college courses and creating new ones. The teams include K-12 teachers who participated in earlier NSF supported collaborative ventures to improve teacher preparation, and who have adopted these teaching strategies in their own classrooms. The project is developing strategies to attract students to science and mathematics teaching, especially women, under-represented minorities, and rural and inner city residents. Strong assessment and dissemination components are accompanying a comprehensive program of course reform and preservice teacher education that can serve as a national model. ***

小行星9653966 科学、技术、工程和数学教师教育协作组织（STEMTEC）将五所学院的成员，包括马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学和阿默斯特大学、汉普郡大学、霍利奥克山学院和史密斯学院，与三所地区社区学院，斯普林菲尔德技术学院、霍利奥克学院和格林菲尔德学院联系起来，与邻近的学区合作，促进科学和数学教师准备的改革。 PALMS、马萨诸塞州NSF国家系统倡议计划和大陆有线电视公司也参与其中。 为了提高职前教师的准备，激发本科科学和数学专业的教师职业的兴趣，并增加科学和数学课程的教育效果，协作借鉴其专业知识，利用有效的主动学习策略：合作学习，调查为基础的教学，教育技术，新的评估技术，并有机会教。 包括大学科学，数学和教育教师在内的团队正在重新设计现有的大学课程并创建新的课程。 这些团队包括K-12教师，他们参加了早期NSF支持的合作项目，以提高教师的准备，并在自己的课堂上采用了这些教学策略。 该项目正在制定战略，吸引学生，特别是妇女、代表性不足的少数民族以及农村和内城居民学习科学和数学。 强有力的评估和传播组成部分伴随着一个全面的课程改革和副教师教育计划，可以作为一个全国性的模式。 ***
