Rural PTRA

“农村PTRA”是一个为期五年的国家教师提高项目，目的是在农村环境中培养物理和物理科学教师。 农村PTRA在一所大学有一名教员担任农村PTRA协调员，以促进安排和主持PTRA教学会议。 来自先前PTRA和PTRA Plus项目的PTRA将按照PTRA模式举办研讨会。 根据分阶段实施计划，第一年将有3个农村地点，第二年有10个，第三年有20个，第四年有33个，第五年有26个。 农村物理和物理科学教师每年将能够参加36个小时的讲习班。 在项目期间，655名参与者将获得至少108小时的培训，另有375名参与者将获得至少72小时的培训。 按照PTRA模式，该项目将确定具有领导能力和内容知识的农村参与者，并鼓励他们申请PTRA领导者培训，以建立一批农村PTRA教师领导者，继续为农村社区的科学教师服务。 在以前的PTRA项目模式中，这导致了长期的可持续性。

"Rural PTRA" is a five-year national Teacher Enhancement project to accommodate physics and physical science teachers in a rural environment. Rural PTRA has a faculty member at a university as a Rural PTRA Coordinator to facilitate arranging and hosting PTRA instructional sessions. PTRAs from the previous PTRA and PTRA Plus projects will conduct the workshops as per the PTRA model. Following a phased plan for implementation, there will be 3 rural sites in year one, 10 in year two, 20 in year three, 33 in year four and 26 in year five. Rural physics and physical science teachers will be able to enroll in 36 workshop hours per year. During the course of the project 655 participants will receive a minimum of 108 hours and another 375 a minimum of 72 hours. Following the PTRA model the project will identify rural participants with leadership capability and content knowledge and will encourage them to apply for PTRA leader training to establish a cohort of Rural PTRA teacher leaders that can continue to serve science teachers from rural communities. In the pattern of previous PTRA projects this has led to long term sustainability.
