A Model for Teacher Enhancement in Educational Computing in the Sciences

这个为期三年的项目将培训派克斯峰地区的260名科学教师和管理人员，让他们使用计算机来改进学习/教学。这些参与者中的30人将在他们的学区接受教育计算领导者的培训。在完成三年级后，这些地区领导人应该接受充分的培训，以准备和监督教育计算方面的科学教师。维持教师培训活动的任务将由这些领导人在其所在地区的支持下承担。在第三年，项目工作人员将集中评估这一教师培训模式的有效性，并在派克山地区建立一个自给自足的教师培训网络。该网络将包括每个学区内的科学教育计算咨询委员会和派克斯峰地区的一个委员会，以促进合作学区之间的互动。在第三年，该项目将独立于项目工作人员运作，网络的管理将由各区负责。

This three-year project will train 260 science teachers and administrators in the Pikes Peak region to use the computer to enhance learning/teaching. Thirty of those participants will be trained as leaders in educational computing in their school districts. Upon completion of year three, these district leaders should be fully trained to prepare and supervise science teachers in educational computing. The task of maintaining the teacher preparation activities will be assumed by these leaders with support from their districts. During year three, the project staff will concentrate on evaluating the effectiveness of this teacher preparation model, and establishing a self-sustaining teacher preparation network in the Pikes Peak region. The network will include advisory committees on educational computing in the sciences within each district and a committee for the Pikes Peak region to facilitate interactions among cooperating districts. During year three, the project will be operating independent of the project staff, and the management of the network will be the responsibility of the districts.
