Industry-Education Partnership: A Model for the Teacher Professional Continuum

这是一个全面的，全国性的，为期5年的教师专业连续体（TPC）项目，旨在开发一个跨越教育连续体的学习社区模式。它将教师研究参与经验（TRE）项目与科学、技术和数学（STM）行业和大学科学家/专业人员联系起来，研究有助于这种模式成功的因素。TPC教育研究将挖掘首席研究员和其他国家TRE项目，教育和工业（E/I）合作伙伴沉浸式项目，并为STM参与者提供涵盖教师连续体的新的教育/工作场所体验。该项目包括当地学习社区的队列，包括两名职前科学/数学教师，两名中学教师，一名7-12岁的科学、数学和/或技术教师，一名初中/高中指导顾问，一名两年制社区学院教员，以及一名四年制IHE科学教育家和/或科学STM教员。

This is a comprehensive, national, 5-year Teacher Professional Continuum (TPC) project to develop a learning community model that spans the educational continuum. It connects teacher research participation experience (TRE) projects and science, technology, and mathematics (STM) industry and university scientists/professionals to research the factors that contribute to the success of such a model. The TPC educational research will mine both the Principal Investigator's and other national TRE projects, education and industry (E/I) partnership immersion projects, and provide new education/workplace experiences for STM participants covering the teacher continuum. The project includes Local Learning Community cohorts that include two preservice science/mathematics teachers, two middle school teachers, a 7-12 science, mathematics and/or technology teacher, one middle/high school guidance counselor, a two-year Community College faculty member, and a four-year IHE science educator and/or science STM faculty member.
