RET Site: Summer Research Experiences for Seventh to Twelfth Grade Teachers in Civil Infrastructure Renewal and Rehabilitation

这一行动为辛辛那提大学教师研究经验(RET)现场项目提供资金，该项目为期三年，由Anant R.Kukreti博士指导，题为“七年级至十二年级教师在民用基础设施更新和恢复方面的暑期研究经验”。该计划的目标是：1)通过探索科学的探究方法和工程师用来解决开放式现实世界问题的批判性研究技能，教育、培养和促进7至12年级的科学和数学教师；2)通过在课堂上和同事中应用他们的研究经验，让参与计划的教师成为榜样；以及3)使教师的新技能使7至12年级的学生能够将他们的教育与社区内发生的事件和问题直接联系起来，并鼓励他们成为技术驱动的社会中有效的公民。

This action provides funding for a three year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site program at the University of Cincinnati entitled, "Summer Research Experiences for Seventh to Twelfth Grade Teachers in Civil Infrastructure Renewal and Rehabilitation," under the direction of Dr. Anant R. Kukreti. The goals of this program are: 1) to educate, cultivate, and facilitate 7th to 12th grade science and math teachers by exploring the scientific method of inquiry and the critical research skills that engineers use to solve open-ended real world problems; 2) to have the participating teachers become role models by applying their research experiences in their classrooms and with colleagues; and 3) to have the teachers' new skills enable 7th to 12th grade students to directly link their education to events and issues occurring within their community and encourage them to become effective citizens in a technology driven society.
