ABSTRACTDRL-0822128PI: John RistveyInstitution: Mid-Continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL)Title: NanoTeach: Professional Development in Nanoscale ScienceThis project is exploring the introduction of nanoscience curriculum into high schools. It is creating and studying a professional development model based on two products, the NanoTeach Teacher's Guide and the NanoTeach Facilitator's Guide. The NanoTeach Teacher's guide is being designed for self study by teachers (low treatment group) and for use in a facilitated development model (high treatment group). The NanoTeach Facilitator's Guide outlines the professional development experiences and provides guidance for facilitators. The professional development model combines (1) a design framework (Designing Effective Science Lessons based on the C-U-E model: content, understanding, and environment); (2) nanoscale science content from NSF-funded curriculum projects; and (3) multiple delivery methods. Twenty teachers are being recruited to carry out the pilot testing of the professional development materials. 75 teachers in the high treatment group are experiencing a 2-week summer workshop, asynchronous sessions while they implement their first lesson, Versatile Classroom (a synchronous, online video technology), implementation of a second lesson, and a final 2-week summer workshop. 75 teachers in the low treatment group experience a brief orientation to nanoscience resources, have access to the NT Teacher's Guide, implement two lessons, and debrief. The NanoTeach partnership includes Aspen Associates, the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility, and the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network. The research study is being carried out by Aspen Associates, and project evaluation is conducted by Dr. Doug Huffman of the University of Kansas.

摘要：drl - 0822128pi: John ristvey机构：中大陆教育与学习研究（McREL）标题：纳米教学：纳米科学的专业发展该项目正在探索将纳米科学课程引入高中。它正在创建和研究一种基于两种产品的专业发展模式，即NanoTeach教师指南和NanoTeach促进者指南。NanoTeach教师指南的设计目的是供教师（低待遇组）自学，并用于促进发展模式（高待遇组）。NanoTeach引导者指南概述了专业发展经验，并为引导者提供了指导。专业发展模式结合了(1)设计框架（基于C-U-E模型设计有效的科学课程：内容、理解和环境）；(2)来自nsf资助课程项目的纳米尺度科学内容；(3)多种交付方式。正在征聘20名教师对专业发展材料进行试点测试。高治疗组的75名教师正在经历一个为期两周的夏季研讨会，在他们实施第一节课时，异步会议，多功能教室（同步，在线视频技术），实施第二节课，以及最后两周的夏季研讨会。低治疗组的75名教师对纳米科学资源进行了简短的介绍，他们可以使用NT教师指南，上了两节课，并听取了汇报。NanoTeach的合作伙伴包括阿斯彭协会、斯坦福纳米制造设施和国家纳米技术基础设施网络。这项研究是由阿斯彭协会进行的，项目评估是由堪萨斯大学的道格·霍夫曼博士进行的。
