In a collaborative project involving San Francisco State University and the Foothill-DeAnza Community College District, Summer Teaching Institutes continue to be offered to community-college faculty of the San Francisco Bay area. These institutes introduce faculty to the concepts and attitudes of scientific teaching and provide professional development for faculty to change their practices to include goal setting and assessment to determine whether the goals have been met. In this expanded second stage of the project, a second Advanced Summer Institute is available to graduates of the first who are interested in collaborating to develop a common assessment tool. This tool applied to the population of San Francisco area community college students generates powerful data measuring the effectiveness of scientific teaching on student learning. Additional activities of the emerging learning community include Teaching Squares, groups of four faculty at one or several institutions who meet together regularly to share teaching strategies and observe each others' classes; and Classroom Partnerships between a mentor community college faculty member and a SFSU graduate student interested in pursuing college-level teaching as a career. The enthusiastic response to the first phase of this project demanded that it be extended and amplified. To do so in the direction of establishing data on effectiveness makes the experience all the richer. This project is being jointly funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences and the Directorate for Education and Human Resources, Division of Undergraduate Education as part of their efforts toward Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education.

在旧金山州立大学和 Foothill-DeAnza 社区学院区的合作项目中，继续为旧金山湾区的社区学院教师提供暑期教学学院。 这些机构向教师介绍科学教学的概念和态度，并为教师提供专业发展，以改变他们的做法，包括目标设定和评估以确定目标是否已实现。 在该项目扩展的第二阶段中，第二个高级暑期学院可供有兴趣合作开发通用评估工具的第一期毕业生参加。 该工具应用于旧金山地区社区学院的学生，生成强大的数据来衡量科学教学对学生学习的有效性。 新兴学习社区的其他活动包括教学广场，一个或多个机构的四名教师组成的小组，他们定期聚在一起分享教学策略并观摩彼此的课程；导师社区学院教职人员和有兴趣从事大学教学作为职业的 SFSU 研究生之间的课堂合作关系。 该项目第一阶段的热烈反响要求扩大和扩大该项目。 朝着建立有效性数据的方向这样做可以使体验变得更加丰富。 该项目由生物科学理事会和教育和人力资源理事会本科教育司联合资助，作为其实现本科生物教育愿景和变革努力的一部分。
