San Juan County Initiative for the Enhancement of Pre-Service and In-Service Math/Science Teacher Education Through Curriculum Development and Internship Experiences in Technology

圣胡安学院提供9学分的工作坊，旨在为在职和职前教师提供5-8年级数学和科学教学指导。该项目的总体目标是：（1）基于使用教学法、课程材料和技术来提高数学和科学教学的质量，这些教学法、课程材料和技术涉及标准、基准和能力，（2）通过提高标准化考试成绩和增加高中数学和科学课的入学人数，提高儿童对数学和科学的知识和兴趣，以及（3）招聘和保留数学和科学教师的收益。 该项目正在培训计划在夏季工作日和秋季星期六支持数学和/或科学的职前教师和在职数学和/或科学教师。在春季，每个职前教师与他/她的导师教师一起作为团队教师在导师教师的教室工作40小时，介绍在讲习班中学到的课程和活动。这个项目的智力价值是显而易见的，在各种各样的主题和活动，不包括标准的教师教育，数学和科学课程的组成部分。在提供讲习班内容和在公立学校课堂上使用技术作为促进探索、调查和发现学习的工具，是项目设计的一个主要组成部分。 该项目产生的更广泛的影响包括在圣胡安县的数学和科学教室的质量学习环境的系统，定向，可持续和可衡量的改善。在利用技术开发和实施数学和科学课堂活动方面受过更高培训的教师知识更渊博，热情更高，更自信。这些特质，反过来，培养学生谁是数学和科学兴奋，谁是关键的，程序的，分析的思想家和问题解决者。

San Juan College is providing a 9-credit hour block of workshops designed to provide in-service and pre-service teachers with instruction in teaching math and science grades 5-8. The overall goals of this project are: (1) improved quality of math and science instruction based upon use of teaching pedagogy, curriculum materials, and technology that address the standards, benchmarks, and competencies, (2) gains in children's knowledge of and interest in math and science as indicated by improved standardized test scores and increased enrollment in high school math and science classes, and (3) gains in recruitment and retention of math and science teachers. The project is training pre-service teachers planning to endorse in math and/or science and in-service math and/or science teachers during summer weekdays and Saturdays during the fall. During the spring, each pre-service teacher works with his/her mentor teacher as a team teacher for 40 hours in the mentor teacher's classroom, presenting the lessons and activities learned in the workshops. The intellectual merit of this project is evident in the variety of the topics and activities that do not comprise components of the standard teacher education math and science curriculum. The use of technology in the delivery of the workshop content and in the public school classroom as a tool to promote exploration, investigation and discovery learning, is a major and integral component of the project design. The broader impacts resulting from this project include a systematic, directional, sustainable, and measurable improvement in a quality learning setting in San Juan County's math and science classrooms. Teachers more highly trained in the development and implementation of math and science classroom activities using technology are more knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and self-confident. These traits, in turn, produce students who are excited about math and science and who are critical, procedural, and analytical thinkers and problem solvers.
