VISIT: Virtual Immersion in Scientific Inquiry for Teachers

991792XIE是一个在线合作实验室，供教师参与当地正在进行的对当代问题的科学调查。该项目将使来自底特律和波士顿的200名中学教师沉浸在调查中，这些调查使用了广泛的数据分析工具，全年得到同事和科学家的支持。这些活动支持国家在化学、环境科学、生态、生物和地球科学方面的课程和框架。调查人员将从动车组获得研究生学分。另外800名教师将是“探索者”，对关键主题和技能的接触有限。访问模式和材料将通过地方、州和国家科学政府机构的教育计划、在线课程、特殊科学教育项目和系统倡议项目在全国和密歇根州东南部传播。访问计划在三年内雇佣至少1000名教师，并在至少六个其他城市地区复制这种模式和材料。

991792XIE"Virtual Immersion in Scientific Inquiry for Teachers (VISIT)" is an Online Collaboratory for teachers to participate in ongoing scientific investigations of contemporary problems in their localities. This project will immerse 200 secondary teachers from Detroit and Boston in investigations that use extensive data analysis tools, supported by colleagues and scientists throughout the year. These activities support state curricula and frameworks in chemistry, environmental science, ecology, biological and earth sciences. The investigators will receive graduate credit from EMU. An additional 800 teachers would be "explorers" with some limited exposure to key topics and skills. The VISIT model and materials will be disseminated both nationally and in Southeastern Michigan through the educational programs of local, state, and national scientific government agencies, online courses, special science education projects and systemic initiative projects. VISIT plans to engage at least 1,000 teachers over three years and to replicate the model and materials in at least six other urban areas.
