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.

在一个涉及旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学和山麓-德安扎社区学院区的合作项目中，继续向旧金山弗朗西斯科海湾地区的社区学院教员提供暑期教学班。 这些研究所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，以确定目标是否已经实现。 在该项目扩大的第二阶段，第二个高级暑期研究所可供第一个有兴趣合作开发共同评估工具的毕业生使用。 这个工具适用于人口的旧金山弗朗西斯科地区社区大学的学生产生强大的数据测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定期聚会，分享教学策略并观察彼此的课程;以及导师社区学院教师和SFSU研究生之间的课堂伙伴关系，他们有兴趣追求大学水平的教学作为职业。 对该项目第一阶段的热烈反应要求扩大和扩大该项目。 在建立关于效力的数据的方向上这样做会使经验更加丰富。 该项目由生物科学理事会和本科教育部教育和人力资源理事会共同资助，作为他们对本科生物学教育的愿景和变革的努力的一部分。
