Across the Sciences: Multidisciplinary Learning for Teachers through Multimedia

生物科学课程研究(BSCS)和俄勒冈州公共广播(OPB)将进行一系列专业发展，以提高科学教师的内容知识。《跨越科学》是一个十个单元的系列，需要大约145个小时才能完成，将更有资格让9年级和10年级的科学教师教授多学科的科学课程。这些课程的数量正在增加。准备在一门科学学科学习的教师将受益于增加和深化他们的跨学科科学内容知识以及他们对学生与学习科学相关的需求的理解的机会。目标受众是在职和职前教师，他们预期教学课程使用多学科方法，或在过去3-5年内开始教授多学科科学的教师。特别注意为资源匮乏的学校的教师和那些需要更多知识以在具有文化能力的框架内教授科学的人编写材料。参与该项目的教师可以选择通过蒙大拿州立大学注册大学学分，从而获得重新认证和/或获得高级学位。

Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) and Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) will conduct a professional development series to improve the content knowledge of science teachers. "Across the Sciences," a ten-unit series requiring approximately 145 hours to complete, will better qualify 9th and 10th grade science teachers to teach multicisciplinary science courses. The number of these courses is increasing. Teachers prepared in one science discipline will benefit from opportunities to increase and deepen their interdiciplinary science content knowledge and their understanding of student needs associated with learning science. The target audience is in-service and pre-service teachers who anticipate teaching courses that use a multidisciplinary approach, or teachers who over the past 3-5 years have begun to teach multidisciplinary science. Special care is given to materials developed for teachers in resource-poor schools and for those who need additional knowledge to deliver science in a culturally competent framework. Teachers participating in this project have the option to register for college credit through Montana State University and thus move toward recertification and/or earning an advanced degree.
