The WGBH Educational Foundation is expanding the reach, impact, and stability of the Teachers' Domain Pathway to the NSDL, through an integrated set of research, development, and dissemination activities. This project is extending the stewardship of rich-media materials customized for K-12 STEM educators (and post-secondary audiences as well), a service successfully initiated through a NSDL Pathways award in 2004 and supplemented by recent additional support from NSF and other funding agencies. Addressing the evolving needs of the target audience, WGBH is further enhancing the utility and appeal of Teachers' Domain (TD) by integrating social media tools to promote user engagement and interaction. Teachers' Domain is also expanding its content offerings and user base, primarily through complementary funding initiatives and production partnerships and by providing a series of in-person and online workshops to support active use of the Pathway in K-12 classrooms, post-secondary campuses, and professional development settings across the country. Advisors representing other NSDL projects and working groups, public television stations, and organizations provides TD with specialized expertise in the use of participatory media in education. Building upon research conducted on the original Pathways initiative and several additional Teachers' Domain projects, the Center for Children and Technology (CCT) at EDC is conducting ongoing evaluation to assess needs of the target audience and the impact of the resulting products and services. Building on the extensive and growing reach of Teachers' Domain, this free online service has over 256,000 registered users from more than 163 countries (including 55% of the public schools in the U.S.). Usage is growing rapidly as knowledge of its availability spreads with the rate of cumulative visits doubling every six months. Dissemination, promotion, and marketing activities will be conducted through partnering organizations, established channels of WGBH and PBS, and public television's emerging EDCAR initiative, engaging K-12 teachers and students as well as professional associations promoting enhanced science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education across the country.

WGBH 教育基金会正在通过一系列综合性的研究、开发和传播活动，扩大 NSDL 教师领域途径的覆盖范围、影响力和稳定性。该项目正在扩展为 K-12 STEM 教育工作者（以及高等教育受众）定制的富媒体材料的管理，这项服务通过 2004 年的 NSDL Pathways 奖成功启动，并得到了最近来自 NSF 和其他资助机构的额外支持的补充。为了满足目标受众不断变化的需求，WGBH 通过整合社交媒体工具来促进用户参与和互动，进一步增强教师领域 (TD) 的实用性和吸引力。 Teachers' Domain 还主要通过补充性资助计划和制作合作伙伴关系以及提供一系列面对面和在线研讨会来扩大其内容提供和用户群，以支持全国 K-12 教室、高等教育校园和专业发展环境中积极使用该衔接课程。代表其他 NSDL 项目和工作组、公共电视台和组织的顾问为 TD 提供在教育中使用参与式媒体的专业知识。 EDC 的儿童与技术中心 (CCT) 基于对原始 Pathways 计划和其他几个教师领域项目进行的研究，正在进行持续评估，以评估目标受众的需求以及由此产生的产品和服务的影响。这项免费在线服务以 Teachers' Domain 广泛且不断增长的影响力为基础，拥有来自超过 163 个国家/地区（包括 55% 的美国公立学校）的 256,000 多名注册用户。随着对其可用性的了解不断传播，累计访问量每六个月翻一番，使用量正在迅速增长。传播、推广和营销活动将通过合作组织、WGBH 和 PBS 的既定渠道以及公共电视台新兴的 EDCAR 计划进行，吸引 K-12 教师和学生以及专业协会参与，以促进全国范围内加强科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 教育。
