The Physics Department at Queensborough Community College will conduct a "Laser Academy for High School Science Teachers," building on the success of the "Laser Scademy for High School Students." Photonics -- the study of optics, lasers and fiber optics -- is a technical field where the shortage of qualified personnel is particularly acute. The Laser Academy for teachers will offer science teachers opportunities to learn about, experience and use information technologies within the context of photonics. The teachers will then integrate this content into their physical science lessons. The project will serve 22 high school science teachers each year for three years (a total of 66 teachers) as well as their students -- estimated at more than 3,000 each year upon completion of the project.The activities/products include:. a three-week summer session (six to eight hours per day) to develop conceptual understanding of the theories underlying various IT-related technologies and to acquire competence in a variety of skills relevant to these fields (general optics, fiber optics, electronics, lasers, computers as tools, computer programming, robotics, remote control). Two day-long sessions will be devoted to educational research and best practices for teaching science.. a week-long summer immersion program during which participants will test the effectiveness of learning modules they developed. (The summer immersion program will have a special focus on recruiting and training female students through the "Girl Tech" component of the proposal. Approximately 48 students will be recruited each summer.);. support to participating teachers during the school year. Faculty will visit the schools on a regular basis (estimated at ten hours per participant) to help set up equipment and assist teachers with lesson planning and implementation; and. an end-of-the-year conference where participants will meet to discuss their experiences in the program, what worked, and future activities.

皇后区社区学院的物理系将在“高中生激光科学”成功的基础上，举办“高中科学教师激光学院”。“光子学-研究光学、激光和光纤-是一个合格人员短缺特别严重的技术领域。 教师激光学院将为科学教师提供在光子学背景下学习、体验和使用信息技术的机会。 然后，教师将这些内容整合到他们的物理科学课程中。 该项目将在三年内每年为22名高中科学教师（共66名教师）及其学生提供服务-估计项目完成后每年将有3 000多名学生。 为期三周的夏季课程（每天六至八小时），以发展对各种IT相关技术基础理论的概念性理解，并获得与这些领域相关的各种技能（普通光学，光纤，电子，激光，计算机工具，计算机编程，机器人，远程控制）。 为期两天的会议将专门讨论教育研究和科学教学的最佳实践。 为期一周的暑期沉浸式课程，参与者将测试他们开发的学习模块的有效性。 (The暑期浸入式课程将特别注重通过提案中的“女孩技术”部分招募和培训女学生。 每年夏天将招收48名学生。 在学年期间为参与教师提供支持。 教师将定期访问学校（估计每位参与者十小时），以帮助设置设备，并协助教师进行课程规划和实施;以及。 一个年终会议，与会者将开会讨论他们在该计划中的经验，什么工作，以及未来的活动。
