Peer-Led Team-Learning:National Dissemination by the Workshop Project

这是一个全面的全国性传播工作，以教育SMET教师关于一个强大的，强大的，和可访问的教学方法，已成功地在各种各样的学院和大学进行测试。 这种方法是同行领导的团队学习模式。 它被称为研讨会模式，因为它的主要特点是协作的学生团体与课程教师密切合作。 在研讨会模式中，协作的学生团体为本科生提供了独特的领导作用，补充了课程的讲座部分。 在这个项目中，一个由来自七个机构的11名教师组成的小组制定了一个协调计划，在三年内向生物、化学、地质、数学和物理五个学科的各种机构和教师推广讲习班模式。 参与机构包括纽约市立大学城市学院、迈阿密大学（佛罗里达州）、乔治王子社区学院、罗切斯特大学、圣泽维尔大学、蒙大拿大学和波特兰州立大学（俄勒冈州）。 这一全国传播项目的基础是各种各样的外联活动，其强度和承诺各不相同，部分是在参与机构的校园内进行的，从在区域和国家会议上的一小时演讲到为期三天的讲习班，并有大量的后续支助。 为了支持教师采用研讨会的方法，有一个网页与大量的资源。 该项目包括一系列活动，以促进有关研讨会模式的奖学金，并旨在创建一个不断扩大的教师领导，以确保持续传播超出该项目的生命。

This is a comprehensive national dissemination effort to educate SMET faculty about a robust, powerful, and accessible instructional approach that has been successfully beta-tested across a wide variety of colleges and universities. This approach is the Peer-Led Team-Learning model. It is called the Workshop Model because its key feature is collaborative student groups working in close harmony with the course faculty. In the Workshop Model, collaborative student groups provide a unique leadership role for undergraduate students that complements the lecture component of courses. In this project, an 11-member team of faculty drawn from seven institutions have devised a coordinated plan to disseminate the Workshop Model over a three year period to a broad variety of institutions and faculty in five disciplines -- biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics, and physics. The participating institutions are the CUNY City College, the University of Miami (FL), Prince Georges Community College, the University of Rochester, St. Xavier University, the University of Montana, and Portland State University (OR). This national dissemination project is based on a variety of outreach activities, of varying intensity and commitment, conducted in part on the campuses of the participating institutions, ranging from 1-hour presentations at regional and national meetings to 3-day workshops, with substantial follow-up support. In support of faculty adopting the Workshop approach, there is a Web page with substantial resources. The project includes a set of activities to promote scholarship about the Workshop Model and is designed to create an expanding leadership of faculty to ensure continued dissemination beyond the life of the project.
