99-11894 OTUONYE这个不寻常的五年教师学生发展通过研究经验（TSD）项目汇集了真实的生活矿工，研究科学家和教师在一个工作的矿井和不活跃的矿井参与采矿活动和相关的实验室研究活动周围的矿物。 在第一年，来自MI上半岛的24名教师将参加为期六周的课程，其中包括：内容和技能准备;与科学家和工程师一起工作，在工作和不工作的矿山，收集标本并对其进行编目;以及，磨练领导力和变革代理人技能，以加强研究/高科技采矿经验的转移回到课堂。 为期六周的夏季研究和实地经验是由专业发展活动在12个月内补充。在第二年和第三年，参与者池将包括来自邻国的教师：WI，MN，IN，OH和IL。 每年将增加24名初中和高中教师参加。 在今后几年中，将有四名和五名教师来自一个国家人才库，重点是那些有广泛采矿活动的地区。 教师可以从MTU获得5个研究生学分。

99-11894OTUONYEThis unusual five-year Teacher Student Development through Research Experience (TSD) project brings together real life miners, research scientists, and teachers in a working mine and inactive mines to participate in mining activities and the associated laboratory research activities surrounding minerals. In year-one, 24 teachers from the Upper Peninsula of MI will participate in a six-week program that includes: content and skills preparation; working with scientists and engineers, in working and inactive mines, collecting specimens and cataloging them; and, hone leadership and change agent skills to enhance the transfer of the research/high tech mining experience back to the classroom. The six-week summer research and field experiences are complemented by professional development activities over a 12-month period. In years two and three the participant pool will include teachers from neighboring states: WI, MN, IN, OH, and IL. Each year 24 additional middle and high school teachers will participate. In years four and five teachers will come from a national pool focusing on those regions that have extensive mining activities. Teachers may earn five (5) graduate credits from MTU.
