This ITEST strategies project titled Classroom Student Investigations, uses the popularity of the Crime Scene Investigation television show, involving forensic science investigation, as a metaphor to train teachers in forensic science topics and use that training in their science classrooms to stimulate and encourage middle and upper school students in science topics generally. The project is expected to lead to increased student interest in STEM topics using students interest in the culturally popular portrayal of forensic science to convey many basic STEM principles. The project has two research objectives: 1. to examine the impact on students interest in STEM careers in classrooms of participating teachers and 2. examine how participation in the program affects participating teacher implementation of reform based pedagogy and technology in their classrooms.The project involves development of materials in a variety of forensic science topics and applied in a two week summer institute for participating teachers to convey content knowledge and develop laboratory skills using forensic science as an integrating theme. The program expects to target 30 teachers a year and 120 students in one-day summer teacher workshops. Teachers will then integrate the forensic topic curricula into their science classroom studies during the regular school year. The approach and the teacher training is expected to influence students in the science classes of the participating teachers and schools in the target area of the mid-South states. Based on the success of the prior effort this project expands the training and development assistance and extends the training to schools in neighboring states of Tennessee, Missouri, and Mississippi. Recruitment of teachers will focus on high-needs school districts. This project will expand the amount of material available for teacher training; increase the teacher institute to 2 weeks; have teachers provide a workshop for students during the summer institute; provide on-going support for development of lesson plans and implementation of the new curricula during the school year for participating teachers and evaluate the progress of the expanded project towards its goals.

这个ITEST战略项目名为课堂学生调查，使用流行的犯罪现场调查电视节目，涉及法医科学调查，作为一个比喻，培训教师在法医科学的主题，并在他们的科学课堂上使用该培训，以刺激和鼓励中学生和高中学生在科学主题一般。该项目预计将导致学生对STEM主题的兴趣增加，利用学生对法医学文化流行的描述的兴趣来传达许多基本的STEM原则。 本课题有两个研究目标：1.研究参与教师的课堂对学生STEM职业兴趣的影响;研究参与该计划如何影响参与教师在课堂上实施基于改革的教学法和技术。该项目涉及开发各种法医学主题的材料，并在为期两周的暑期研究所中应用，让参与教师以法医学为综合主题，传达内容知识并发展实验室技能。 该计划预计每年有30名教师和120名学生参加为期一天的暑期教师讲习班。 然后，教师将在正常学年将法医专题课程纳入他们的科学课堂研究。预计这种方法和教师培训将影响中南各州目标地区参与教师和学校科学课的学生。 在先前努力取得成功的基础上，该项目扩大了培训和发展援助，并将培训扩大到邻近的田纳西州、密苏里州和密西西比州的学校。 教师招聘将集中在高需求学区。 该项目将增加教师培训材料的数量;将教师培训增加到两周;让教师在暑期培训期间为学生举办讲习班;在学年期间为参与教师制定课程计划和实施新课程提供持续支持，并评估扩大项目实现其目标的进展情况。
