Rural Access to Technical Education

阿拉斯加大学东南西特卡校区（UAS）为期两年的项目旨在加强阿拉斯加农村获得先进技术教育的机会，该项目建立在刚刚完成的DUE ATE资助的阿拉斯加农村环境教育项目的基础上。该项目正在为农村高中编写环境技术教育方面的具体综合教学材料；在农村环境中发展和支持积极的实践团队；加强分布式团队合作，支持阿拉斯加东南大学的专上环境技术课程。该项目提供一名农村技术教育人员，发展、监督和支持当地设施（水和废水处理）的工作见习、指导和现场技术经验。该项目还通过为高中学生开发一种互动式CD-ROM来提高获得技术资源的机会，解决卫生技术和环境问题。农村技术教育者为偏远乡村的大专远程学生提供支持。农村教育工作者还支持农村高中教师使用新开发的教材，并为教师举办暑期培训班。

The University of Alaska Southeast-Sitka Campus (UAS) two-year project to Enhance Rural Access to Advanced Technology Education in Alaska builds on a just completed DUE ATE funded Rural Alaska Environmental Education Project. The project is creating specific comprehensive teaching/learning materials in environmental technology education for rural high schools; developing and supporting active, hands-on teaming in rural settings; and, enhancing distributive teaming in support of the post-secondary environmental technology curriculum at the University of Alaska Southeast.The project provides a Rural Technical Educator to develop, supervise, and support job-shadowing, mentoring and on-site technical experiences at local facilities(water and wastewater treatment). The project is also enhancing access to technical resources by developing an interactive CD-ROM for high school students addressing the technology of sanitation and environmental issues. The Rural Technical Educator supports associate degree distance students in the remote villages. The Rural Educator is also supporting rural high school teachers in the use of the newly developed instructional materials and conducting summer institutes for the teachers.
