The Los Rios Community College District in California is partnering with California State University and the University of California at Davis to develop a professional development program for high school science teachers to help them teach biotechnology and bioinformatics in life science and biology classes. The program will serve 75 area high school science teachers who teach 8,000 students. The project is also developing a teacher-mentored internship program to attract 120 community college students into science teaching.The goals of the Applied Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Training program are to (1) create a one-week summer professional development workshop that trains high school teachers to develop and integrate computer-based biotechnology/bioinformatics learning activities into their existing courses, (2) provide teachers with biotechnology/bioinformatics-related job shadowing opportunities, (3) create real-world, scenario-based biotechnology/bioinformatics learning activities that connect into careers in science, (4) develop an internship program that provides prospective science teachers with technology-based biotechnology teaching experiences in actual high school science classrooms, and (5) increase high school student access to and use of computers in biology and life science courses. A curriculum will be disseminated online.

加利福尼亚州洛斯里奥斯社区学院学区正在与加州州立大学和加州大学戴维斯分校合作，为高中科学教师开发一个专业发展计划，帮助他们在生命科学和生物课堂上教授生物技术和生物信息学。该计划将服务于75名地区高中理科教师，他们教8000名学生。该项目还开发了一个教师指导的实习计划，以吸引120名社区大学生参与科学教学。应用生物技术和生物信息学培训计划的目标是(1)创建一个为期一周的暑期专业发展研讨会，培训高中教师开发基于计算机的生物技术/生物信息学学习活动，并将其整合到现有课程中；(2)为教师提供与生物技术/生物信息学相关的工作影子机会；(3)创建与科学职业相关的真实世界、基于情景的生物技术/生物信息学学习活动，(4)制定实习计划，为未来的科学教师提供实际高中科学课堂上基于技术的生物技术教学经验，以及(5)增加高中生在生物和生命科学课程中接触和使用计算机的机会。将在网上分发一份课程。
