This Collections project is allowing WGBH to expand its current Teachers Domain Digital Library into the content areas of the Physical Sciences and Engineering. The overarching intent of the Teachers Domain Digital Library project is to get the high-quality, multimedia resources of WGBH out of their vaults and into the hands of teachers and students in a form that is directly targeted to their teaching and learning needs.The Teachers Domain Digital Library, with its focus in the Life Sciences, is a mission-driven initiative that is harnessing the extensive broadcast, video, and interactive programming resources of WGBH to support standards-based teaching and learning at the K-12 level. The product is a searchable, web-based repository of contextualized multimedia materials that teachers are easily accessing for their own professional development as well as to enrich classroom activities for students. As is the case of the original award, the Physical Sciences and Engineering materials are being organized to reflect alignment with commonly taught classroom units and with the performance standards currently applied at both state and national levels. These multimedia assets are being metatagged and presented with extensive contextual information to allow for practical, effective use. Annotations, background essays, standards correlations, and curriculum integration supports accompany each archival resource, and features such as personalized resource bins and keyword search capacity enable ease of use and maximum impact.This project is the result of the longstanding commitment of WGBH to the support of educational reform efforts nationwide, a commitment most common in the subject area of science. Science programming, including such series as NOVA, A SCIENCE ODYSSEY, BUILDING BIG, and EVOLUTION, is recognized to be among the finest on television and is used to support classroom teaching across the country. These shows collectively represent thousands of hours of programming and contain real world applications of abstract concepts, classic science experiments, case studies, primary source interviews, animations, and historical footage. Much of these materials have supporting teacher guides and companion web sites that extend their educational impact. In addition, WGBH has produced numerous, high-quality K-12 teacher training resources. Many of these video-based materials, including INVESTIGATING CLASSROOMS, SCIENCE FIRST, TEACHERS AS LEARNERS, LEARNING THAT WORKS, and PHYSICS BY INQUIRY have been developed with NSF support. These programs, designed to promote both teacher education and student learning, are usually accompanied by print and on-line supplements to facilitate use and maximize effectiveness and address methodological issues as well as pedagogy and content mastery. The WGBH archives are rich with high-quality, multimedia assets, especially within the subject area of science. Significant co-funding of this project is being provided by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences in recognition of the importance of a digital library collection of video-based resources for K-12 teachers, particularly in the physical sciences.

这个收藏项目使WGBH能够将其当前的教师领域数字图书馆扩展到物理科学和工程的内容领域。 教师领域数字图书馆项目的总体意图是将WGBH的高质量多媒体资源从他们的金库中取出，并以直接针对他们的教学和学习需求的形式交到教师和学生手中。教师领域数字图书馆以生命科学为重点，是一项任务驱动的倡议，利用广泛的广播，视频，和WGBH的交互式编程资源，以支持K-12水平的标准教学。 该产品是一个可搜索的、基于网络的上下文多媒体材料库，教师可以很容易地访问这些材料，以促进自己的专业发展，并丰富学生的课堂活动。 与最初的奖项一样，物理科学和工程材料正在组织中，以反映与普通教学课堂单元以及目前在州和国家一级应用的性能标准的一致性。 这些多媒体资产正在进行元标记，并提供广泛的上下文信息，以允许实际有效的使用。 每个档案资源都附有注释、背景文章、标准相关性和课程整合支持，个性化资源箱和关键字搜索功能等功能使其易于使用并产生最大影响。该项目是WGBH长期致力于支持全国教育改革努力的结果，这一承诺在科学学科领域最为常见。 科学节目，包括新星，科学奥德赛，建设大，进化等系列，被认为是最好的电视节目之一，并用于支持全国各地的课堂教学。 这些节目共同代表了数千小时的编程，包含抽象概念的真实的世界应用，经典科学实验，案例研究，主要来源访谈，动画和历史镜头。 其中许多材料都有辅助教师指南和配套网站，以扩大其教育影响。 此外，WGBH还提供了大量高质量的K-12教师培训资源。 许多这些基于视频的材料，包括“开放课堂”、“科学第一”、“教师作为学习者”、“有效的学习”和“探究式物理”，都是在NSF的支持下开发的。 这些方案旨在促进教师教育和学生学习，通常还附有印刷和在线补充材料，以方便使用和最大限度地提高效率，并解决方法问题以及教学法和内容掌握问题。 WGBH档案馆拥有丰富的高质量多媒体资产，特别是在科学领域。NSF数学和物理科学理事会的多学科活动办公室为该项目提供了大量共同资助，以表彰K-12教师，特别是物理科学教师的视频资源数字图书馆收藏的重要性。
