Rural Access to Technical Education

阿拉斯加大学东南锡特卡校区（UAS）为期两年的项目，以提高农村获得先进技术教育在阿拉斯加建立在刚刚完成的DUE ATE资助的农村阿拉斯加环境教育项目。该项目正在为农村中学编写环境技术教育方面的具体综合教学材料;发展和支持农村地区积极的实践团队;以及，加强分布式团队合作，以支持阿拉斯加东南大学的中学后环境技术课程。该项目提供了一名农村技术教育工作者，以开发、监督和支持工作跟踪，在当地设施（水和废水处理）提供指导和现场技术经验。该项目还通过为高中学生制作一个互动式光盘来增加获得技术资源的机会，该光盘涉及卫生技术和环境问题。农村技术教育工作者支持偏远村庄的远程准学士学位学生。农村教育工作者还支持农村高中教师使用新编写的教学材料，并为教师举办暑期学习班。

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.
