Rural Systemic Initiatives in Science, Mathematics,and Technology Education - RSI: Leadership Fellows for the Texas Rural Systemic Initiative

德克萨斯农村系统性倡议（TRSI）目前有450名教师合作伙伴，大致分为5个地区。领导能力发展项目打算从这个小组中选出15名成员，对他们进行三年的培训，使他们成为领导能力研究员。该小组将在地理位置（围绕国家，分布在各地区），专业领域（科学或数学）和年级（小学或中学）方面多样化。鉴于科学和数学教师的迫切需求，特别是在农村地区，领导力项目选择不寻求教师从教室释放任何超过必要的。潜在的领导研究员将参加TRSI领导学院的3年。他们将被要求参加每年三个为期四天的密集会议，此外，在科珀斯克里斯蒂得克萨斯州A M校园为期一周的夏季会议。这些领导人会议将强调领导人的各个方面以及与系统性改革有关的主要议题。研究员将组成由区域科学和数学专家指导的区域小组。研究员将接受“学习、执行、分享”的指导，因此将鼓励他们相互沟通和支持，特别是在区域集团内。鼓励定期进行电子交流。将成立TRSI领导研究员咨询委员会，每位研究员将从该委员会中选择一名顾问。在这位顾问的指导下，领导者将致力于一个奖学金项目，目的是影响他们的学校或地区。第一年，每个研究员将制定他们的项目，这将在项目的未来两年中的每一年实施。德克萨斯州RSI的评估员将在领导学院担任相同的职能。传播的主要来源是研究员自己-通过他们的学习，实施，分享的声明，以及他们预计返回领导学院，以帮助培养未来的领导者。

AbstractThe Texas Rural Systemic Initiative (TRSI) currently has 450 Teacher Partners roughly divided into 5 regions. The Leadership Development Project intends to select 15 members of this group to give them three years of training to become Leadership Fellows. The group will be diverse in geography (around the state, distributed among the regions), area of expertise (science or mathematics) and grade level (elementary or secondary). The members will commit to the three-years of training up-front.Given the dire need for science and mathematics teachers, especially in rural areas, the Leadership Project opted not to seek the release of teachers from the classroom any more than necessary. The potential Leadership Fellows would participate in the TRSI Leadership Academy for the 3 years. They would be required to participate each year in three four-day intensive sessions, and in addition a one-week summer session at the Texas A & M campus in Corpus Christie. These leadership sessions would emphasize leadership strands as well as major topics associated with systemic reform. The Fellows will form regional groups mentored by regional science and mathematics specialists. The Fellows will be under a learn, implement, share dictum, and thus will be encouraged to communicate with and support each other, especially within regional groups. Electronic communication on a regular basis will be encouraged.There will be a TRSI Leadership Fellows Advisory Board and each of the Fellows will select an advisor from this board. Under the guide of this advisor, the Leader will work on a Fellowship Project with the intent of impacting their school or district. The first year each Fellow will develop their project, which will be implemented in each of the following two years of the project. The evaluator for the Texas RSI will act in the same function for the Leadership Academy. The main source of dissemination is intended to be the Fellows themselves-both through their pronouncement of learn, implement, share, and their expected return to the Leadership Academy to help train future leaders.
