CELL/MOLECULAR BIOLOGY STUDENT/TEACHER LEARNING CENTERS

细胞分子生物学高级培训中心(CATCMB) 建议继续发挥其作为 关于改进公办高中和初中生物教育的思考 哥伦比亚特区。这将继续通过一个 由CATCMB的一个专门单位开发的多方面方法， 细胞和分子生物学发现中心，满足需求 无论是老师还是学生。这一方法需要：1.继续 探索系列(八个不同的月度系列；4小时实践 实验室项目；每年130个；1000-1500名学生参与)；2.a 面向教师的为期一个月的讲课/实验教学计划；界面 生物技术和健康相关主题和新技术的发展 相关实验教学材料；3.平行星期六生物学 学生学院，重点是研究；4.继续 如果呢？学生和教师的研究实验室，这样他们就可以追求 激发他们好奇心的新项目；5.便利进入 愿意担任以下方面的顾问或顾问的科学家 学生和教师；6.进一步扩大CellServ，提供 用于创新高中生物实验教学的工具包。CATCMB 建议拥有它所拥有的特殊教学材料和见解 自1992年起开发(NIDDK Grant 1-R25 DK 46571-01)与其他人共享 少数族裔社区。鉴于区议会的人口结构，这项建议 计划将是影响服务质量的重要举措 为少数群体提供教育，并吸引少数群体学生学习科学。

The Center for Advanced Training in Cell and Molecular Biology (CATCMB) proposes to continue its role as a significant contributor to the improvement of biology education in the public senior and junior schools of the District of Columbia. This will continue to be accomplished by a multifaceted approach developed by a dedicated unit of CATCMB, the Discovery Center for Cell and Molecular Biology, which addresses the needs of both, teachers and students. The approach entails: 1. continuance of the Discovery Series (eight different monthly series; 4-hour hands-on laboratory programs; 130 per year; 1000-1500 student participants); 2. a month-long lecture/lab instructional program for teachers; the interface of biotechnology and health related topics and the development of new related laboratory instructional materials; 3. a parallel Saturday Biology Academy for students, with an emphasis on research; 4. continuance of the What if? Research Laboratory for students and teachers, so they may pursue new projects which arouse their curiosity; 5. facilitation of access to scientists who are willing to serve as consultants or resource persons for students and teachers; 6. further expansion of CellServ, which provides kits for innovative high school biology laboratory instruction. CATCMB proposes to have the special instructional materials and insights it has developed since 1992 (NIDDK Grant 1-R25 DK 46571-01) shared with other minority communities. In view of the demographics of DC, this proposed program will be a significant initiative in affecting the quality of education for minorities and in attracting minority students to science.
