UCSD Science Teacher Institute for Crossover and Science Background Deficient Middle/Junior and Senior High Teachers

该项目是圣地亚哥县学区、加州大学圣地亚哥分校和工业界之间的合作项目，旨在提高初中和高中的教学质量。第一年将解决来自初中/初中参与者的需求。第二年将解决高中参与者的需求。目标人群将包括缺乏科学背景的科学课程教师，以及具有科学背景但在教学方法方面缺乏充分培训的教师。每年将从圣地亚哥县的学校中选出50名教师。夏季阶段将是一个为期六周的项目，包括密集的学科领域研讨会、方法论研讨会和一些实验室实习。学年活动将包括开通圣地亚哥县教育办公室的热线，对参与者的学校进行后续访问，以及每月一次的讨论会。

This project is a partnership among San Diego County school districts, the University of California-San Diego, and industry to improve the quality of teaching at the middle/junior high school and senior high school levels. Year one will address the needs of participants from the middle/junior high schools. Year two will address the needs of participants from the high school. The target population will include teachers of science courses with background deficiencies in science as well as those with science backgrounds but who lack sufficient training in teaching methodology. Fifty teachers from the San Diego County schools will be selected each year. The summer phase will be a six-week program consisting of intensive subject area seminars, methodology workshops, and some internships in laboratory setting. School year activities will include the initiation of a hot-line to the San Diego County Office of Education, follow-up visits to the participants' schools, and a monthly colloquium.
