The overall goal of this award is to expand the impact of previous work supported by the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program in order to increase the number of well-prepared individuals, including those from under-represented groups, entering technical positions in the biotechnology work force. This goal is being accomplished through two tightly interrelated objectives. The first objective is focussing on faculty enhancement workshops related to biotechnology methods and the biotechnology workplace. The second objective is focussing on the dissemination of quality biotechnology instructional materials directly to secondary school classrooms. Activities for both objectives incorporate instructional materials created by other ATE projects. This project involves partnerships with the Wisconsin School for the Deaf, the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Education, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board, and the ATE-funded "Cases in Industry Practices in Biotechnology", the "Shoestring" Biotechnology Project, and the Bio-Link Center of Excellence in Biotechnology.Project objectives and outcomes are expected to be:OBJECTIVE 1: To enhance the skills and knowledge of faculty from two- and four- year colleges and secondary schools so that they: Effectively incorporate important biotechnology workplace skills into their curricula Promote student awareness of varied technical career opportunities in biotechnology Incorporate effective active learning and laboratory activities into their classrooms Establish relationships among educators and industry representatives Introduce laboratory and work place curricula into traditional baccalaureate programsOBJECTIVE 2: To adapt and disseminate quality instructional materials for biotechnology technical education that were developed with previous ATE funds so that:+ Quality materials are customized for different target populations of students, including those in under-represented groups + Secondary students are aware of biotechnology workplace opportunities+ Secondary students' math and science skills improve + Secondary students' skills in biotechnology improve + Quality instructional materials reach diverse students+ Pre-service teachers learn about biotechnology and the biotechnology workplace

该奖项的总体目标是扩大由先进技术教育（ATE）计划支持的先前工作的影响，以增加准备充分的个人的数量，包括那些来自代表性不足的群体，进入生物技术工作队伍的技术职位。这一目标是通过两个密切相关的目标来实现的。第一个目标是侧重于与生物技术方法和生物技术工作场所有关的教师增强讲习班。第二个目标是侧重于直接向中学教室传播高质量的生物技术教学材料。这两个目标的活动包括其他ATE项目创建的教学材料。该项目涉及与威斯康星州聋人学校、威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校教育学院、威斯康星州公共教育部、威斯康星州教育交流委员会、由ATE资助的“生物技术行业实践案例”、“鞋带”生物技术项目和生物技术卓越中心的合作。项目目标和成果预计为：目标1：提高两年制和四年制学院和中学教师的技能和知识，以便他们：有效地将重要的生物技术工作场所技能纳入其课程促进学生对生物技术领域各种技术职业机会的认识将有效的主动学习和实验室活动纳入课堂建立教育工作者和行业代表之间的关系介绍实验室和工作场所目标2：调整和传播利用以前的ATE基金编制的生物技术技术教育的高质量教学材料，以便：+针对不同的学生目标人群量身定制优质教材，包括代表性不足的群体+中学生了解生物技术工作场所的机会+中学生的数学和科学技能提高+中学生的生物技术技能提高+高质量的教学材料覆盖不同的学生+预科在职教师学习生物技术和生物技术工作场所
