Regional Institute for Teachers of Science in Grades 4, 5, and 6 in Tidewater Virginia

这项建议的目的是改善弗吉尼亚州潮水地区30名四、五、六年级小学教师的物理教学。这些教师将从六个合作的当地学区中挑选出来，参加在老道明大学举行的为期六周的强化讲习班，并在学年期间每月举行后续研讨会。项目工作人员将定期访问参与者所在的学校，以评估该计划对学生课堂上的影响，并咨询科学主管和校长。

The purpose of this proposal is to improve the teaching of physical science for 30 elementary school teachers of grades 4, 5, and 6 in the Tidewater area of Virginia. The teachers will be selected in pairs from six-cooperating local school districts to participate in an intensive six-week workshop at Old Dominion University with monthly follow-up seminars during the academic year. Project staff will visit the participants' schools on a regular basis to assess the impact of the program on the students in their classrooms and to consult with science supervisors and principals.
