Phi Theta Kappa, the honor society for two-year colleges, in cooperation with the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), is conducting a three-year multi-disciplinary, nationwide mentoring project to expand and enhance community college teacher preparation programs for future K-12 science and mathematics teachers, and to identify "best practices" within these programs. The project employs the same conceptual and implementation format used by Phi Theta Kappa in its recent NSF/DUE/ATE-supported projects, Preparing Tomorrow's Science & Mathematics Teachers: The Community College Response; and Improving Science & Technology Education at Community Colleges: Rounds I & II.A set of proven mentoring activities is being used to share the knowledge base, experience, practices and materials achieved by six exemplary community college teacher preparation programs with 18 competitively-selected community colleges. These exemplary practices and materials also are being disseminated widely to other community, technical, and junior colleges nationwide.The 18 selected community colleges each work with one of six two-member mentoring teams. The six community colleges are Green River Community College, WA; William Rainey Harper College, IL; Tulsa Community College, OK; Cerritos College, CA; J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College, VA; and Delaware Technical & Community College, DE. Mentors represent disciplines of mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics and education. Project activities include: national competition to select 18 colleges; two National Teacher Preparation Conferences, at which six teams of mentors, from two and four-year colleges, work with assigned four-member college teams to develop action plans; mentor services, including site visits over a one year period; networking newsletter available electronically and in print; case study monograph for distribution to presidents, academic deans, education chairs and STEM chairs; a Best Practices Competition; a Best Practices Conference to recognize and share "best practices" in mathematics and science teacher preparation programs at two-year colleges; Best Practices Conference proceedings and recommendations report; and a broad range of other dissemination activities through Phi Theta Kappa and AACC websites, conferences, and publications.

两年制大学荣誉协会Phi Theta Kappa与美国社区学院协会（AACC）合作，正在开展一项为期三年的多学科全国指导项目，以扩大和加强社区大学教师培训计划，培养未来的K-12科学和数学教师，并在这些计划中确定“最佳做法”。该项目采用了Phi Theta Kappa最近在其NSF/DUE/ ate支持的项目中使用的相同概念和实施格式，准备明天的科学和数学教师：社区大学的反应；改善社区大学的科学技术教育：第一轮和第二轮。一套行之有效的指导活动被用来与18所经过竞争挑选的社区大学分享六个模范社区大学教师培训项目所取得的知识基础、经验、实践和材料。这些示范做法和材料也正在全国其他社区、技术和大专院校广泛传播。被选中的18所社区大学分别与6个两人指导小组中的一个合作。这六所社区学院是：华盛顿州的绿河社区学院；威廉·雷尼·哈珀学院，伊利诺伊州；塔尔萨社区学院，OK；加州喜瑞都学院；弗吉尼亚州J. Sargeant Reynolds社区学院；以及特拉华技术与社区学院（Delaware Technical & Community College）。导师代表了数学、化学、生物、物理和教育等学科。项目活动内容包括：全国高校竞赛评选18所；两次全国教师培训会议，来自两年制和四年制大学的六组导师与指定的四人大学团队合作制定行动计划；导师服务，包括为期一年的实地考察；以电子和印刷形式提供的网络通讯；分发给校长、教务长、教育主席和STEM主席的案例研究专著；最佳实践比赛；举办最佳实践会议，表彰和分享两年制大学数学和科学教师培训项目的“最佳实践”；最佳做法会议记录和建议报告；以及通过Phi Theta Kappa和AACC的网站、会议和出版物进行广泛的其他传播活动。
