Project TEAMS - Teachers Education Alliance for Math and Science

数学和科学教师教育联盟（TEAMS）是7个学区、李学院和休斯顿大学/清澈的湖水的伙伴关系，正在开发和加强数学和科学方面的低年级教师教育课程;为在职学生提供实地经验和与在职教师互动的机会;并招聘未来的教师，特别是来自代表性不足的群体。该项目的成果包括一个新的团队授课的跨学科课程，物理科学/代数，小学教师的修订数学课程，和一个新的充分阐述准小学教师的副学士学位课程。新课程反映了德克萨斯州的标准和4-8年级的新认证要求。由社区学院和大学教师教授的一系列星期六实验室侧重于由在职教师和在职教师对数学/科学项目的理解和发展。实习/在职团队正在设计适合四年级和五年级学生的实验，并通过旅行实验室在伙伴学校开展活动。此外，未来的教师正在为四年级和五年级的科学和数学导师提供课堂援助。

The Teacher Education Alliance for Math and Science (TEAMS), a partnership of 7 school districts, Lee College, and the University of Houston/Clear Lake, is developing and strengthening lower division teacher education curricula in math and science; providing preservice students with opportunities for field experiences and interaction with inservice teachers; and recruiting prospective teachers, particularly from underrepresented groups. Outcomes of the project include a new team-taught interdisciplinary course, Physical Science/Algebra, a revised Math for Elementary Teachers course, and a new fully articulated associate degree program for prospective elementary teachers. New courses reflect the Texas state standards and new certification requirements for grades 4-8. A series of Saturday Labs taught by community college and university faculty focuses on the understanding and development of math/science projects by pairs of preservice and inservice teachers. The preservice/inservice teams are designing experiments geared for 4th and 5th grade students and conducting the activities in the partner schools through a Traveling Lab. In addition, prospective teachers are providing classroom assistance to 4th and 5th grade mentor teachers in science and math.
