99-11894OTUONYET他不同寻常的五年教师学生发展通过研究经验(TSD)项目将工作矿井和非活跃矿井的真实矿工、研究科学家和教师聚集在一起，参与采矿活动和与矿物相关的实验室研究活动。在第一年，来自密苏里州上半岛的24名教师将参加一个为期六周的计划，其中包括：内容和技能准备；与科学家和工程师合作，在开采和不活跃的矿山中工作，收集标本并将其编目；以及磨练领导能力和变革代理人技能，以加强将研究/高科技采矿经验传回课堂。为期六周的暑期研究和实地经验与为期12个月的专业发展活动相辅相成。在第二年和第三年，参与者将包括来自邻近州的教师：Wi、MN、IN、OH和IL。每年将增加24名初中和高中教师参加。在今后四年和五年内，将有四名和五名教师来自国家人才库，重点放在那些有大量采矿活动的地区。教师可以从MTU获得五(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.
