The University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) leveraging funding from a number of federal state and local programs has established an extensive precollege Teacher Enhancement Program in Biology (TEP). The TEP has capitalized on the rich human and physical resources of the UW to build a program which uses an approach of science which is as a way of knowing and doing. The focus is on problem solving and hands-on practical exercises which can easily be translated into classroom activities. The following are the components of the program: Summer Institute (SI) consists of 48 one and two week courses each for 15- 20 teachers covering an array of topics in biology including human genetics, biotechnology, animal and plant biology, alcohol and drug prevention, health, environmental biology and elementary school science program. Academic Year Activities include workshops, school visits, field trips and student research projects. Instructional Materials Development which is integrated into the SI and the Academic Year Activities. Teacher Leadership has teachers playing a key role in dissemination, SI course instruction and development of materials. Partnerships of many types include scientists and teachers, TEP with community and private colleges, with regional teacher Institute, with industrial companies, with private foundations and with schools and school districts. The proposed SEPA project would continue to build, refine and evaluate the program in conjunction with funding from other sources. The goal is to bring the program to the point where it could be modeled to other universities and colleges allowing for the replication of the different components or of the integrated, collaborative program as a whole. The following are the new aspects of the program which are planned as part of the next SEPA grant: * continuation of the Summer Institute for over 600 teachers in 48 courses * expansion of the SI with a focus on health related course (using physicians), neuroscience track, and systematic reform courses (gender in science, benchmarks, multi-cultural science) * expansion of the Academic Year Activities with a focus on distance education, computer networking, research projects and systemic reform issues * development and publication of instructional materials and development of ten new topics in collaboration with scientists * expansion of the partnerships, especially with schools, involvement of preservice teachers, graduate and post doctoral researchers and medical students All of this will be comprehensively evaluated through a longitudinal outcome based evaluation which builds upon the present extensive evaluation of the Summer Institute.

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校（UW）利用来自一些 的联邦州和地方计划已经建立了广泛的 生物学预科教师增强计划（TEP）。TEP已经 利用华盛顿大学丰富的人力和物力资源， 一个使用科学方法的程序，这是一种了解和 干重点是解决问题和动手实践练习 这可以很容易地转化为课堂活动。以下 是该计划的组成部分： 暑期学院（SI）包括48个一周和两周的课程，每个课程15- 20名教师涵盖生物学的一系列主题，包括人类 遗传学、生物技术、动植物生物学、酒精和药物 预防、健康、环境生物学和小学科学 程序. 学年活动包括研讨会、学校参观、实地考察和 学生研究项目。 教材开发，这是整合到SI和 学年活动。 教师领导使教师在传播中发挥关键作用， 课程教学和教材开发。 许多类型的伙伴关系包括科学家和教师，TEP与 社区和私立学院，与区域教师学院，与 工业公司，私人基金会，学校和学校 区。 拟议的SEPA项目将继续建立、完善和评估 与其他来源的资金相结合。目标是 把程序带到一个可以模仿其他 大学和学院允许复制不同的 组件或集成的协作计划作为一个整体。的 以下是该计划的新方面，计划作为 下一个SEPA赠款： * 继续为600多名教师开设48门课程的暑期研究所 * 扩大SI，重点是与健康有关的课程（使用 医生），神经科学轨道，和系统的改革课程（性别 科学、基准、多文化科学） * 扩大以距离为重点的学年活动 教育、计算机网络、研究项目和系统改革 问题 * 编写和出版教学材料， 与科学家合作， * 扩大伙伴关系，特别是与学校的伙伴关系， 副教授、研究生和博士后研究人员以及医学 学生 所有这些都将通过一个纵向的 基于结果的评价，建立在目前广泛的 暑期研究所的评价。
