The goal of the proposed project is to contribute to the improvement of science education at the precollege level by providing a high quality inservice program in the biological sciences for teachers, which capitalizes on the rich human and physical resources at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This goal will be addressed through the Summer Institute for Biology Education. The project under the umbrella of the Center for Biology Education will have four components: 1) the expansion of the offerings that presently exist, by the development of new modules in a number of different subject areas, 2) the development of an animal oriented biology program, 3) the expansion of a teacher leadership program, and 4) increasing the opportunities for teachers to participate in scientific research. It will build upon the extensive organizational and programmatic experience of the existing programs. It will be structured around several modules of one to two weeks in length, each having 15 to 20 participants who will be given academic credit and stipends from outside funds for accommodations and travel expenses. The new subjects to be developed include a track on Health and Disease, Alcohol and Drugs, Neurosciences and an animal oriented biology program. The animal oriented biology program will assist teachers to develop a solid understanding of biological concepts which will enable them to better prepare their students for healthy and productive interrelationships with animals. This will be done through actual opportunities to study living animals with the intent to make it possible for these teachers to translate these learning experiences offered, directly into classroom activities. A critically important aspect of the Summer Institute for Biology Education is the concept of developing teacher leadership to work in partnership with the university to improve biology education. Each year, and for each module of the Summer Institute, one or more teachers will be selected to be the lead teacher for the module. The lead teacher will be the liaison person between the Institute staff, lecturers and the teacher participants. During the academic year the lead teachers will assist the project in recruiting participants, organizing activities in the local community and school district and serving as a link to other teachers in their region of the state. The proposed project will help address the issue of the lack of experience and knowledge about the scientific process by increasing the opportunities for teacher to participate in scientific research in university research laboratories.

拟议项目的目标是促进改善 通过提供高质量的 为教师提供生物科学在职方案， 利用大学丰富的人力和物力资源， 威斯康星州麦迪逊。这一目标将通过暑期研究所实现 生物学教育。 该项目在生物学教育中心的保护下， 有四个组成部分：1）扩大目前 通过在一些不同的主题中开发新的模块， 2）发展面向动物的生物学计划，3） 扩大教师领导计划，4）增加 为教师参与科学研究提供了机会。 它将借鉴联合国在组织和方案方面的广泛经验， 现有的方案。 它将围绕以下几个模块进行构建： 为期一至两周，每次有15至20名参与者， 从外部基金中获得学分和住宿津贴 和差旅费。 将开发的新科目包括 健康与疾病，酒精和药物，神经科学和动物导向 生物学项目。 面向动物的生物学课程将帮助教师发展一个坚实的 理解生物学概念，使他们能够更好地 准备他们的学生健康和富有成效的相互关系， 动物这将通过实际的机会来学习生活 目的是让这些教师能够翻译 这些学习经验的提供，直接进入课堂活动。 暑期生物学教育学院的一个至关重要的方面 是发展教师领导力的概念， 大学改善生物学教育。 每一年，每一个 暑期学院的模块，一个或多个教师将被选中， 该模块的首席教师。带队老师将负责联络 研究所的工作人员，讲师和教师参与者之间的人。 在学年期间，主要教师将协助该项目， 招募参与者，在当地社区组织活动， 学区，并作为一个链接到其他教师在他们的地区， 该州 拟议的项目将有助于解决缺乏经验的问题 和科学过程的知识， 高校科研中教师参与科研 laboratories.
