University of Washington Precollege Chemistry Teacher Program

根据这个项目，华盛顿大学化学系将在1987、88和的每个夏天为来自华盛顿和太平洋西北地区其他州的30名大学前化学教师举办一个为期四周的在职学院。旨在为地区教师建立持久网络的后续活动将包括建立课程单元和学院毕业生的各种在职教学模式、创建学年微型课程以及继续交流新的学院材料。研讨会的内容以1986年夏天的经验为基础，将以“能量与物质的相互作用”讲座和第二系列讲座为特色，这些讲座将在每个项目年讨论不同的主题：“金属化学”、“非金属化学”和“环境化学”。此外，每年暑假将有一个化学前沿的组成部分，包括环境化学、现代分析化学、表面化学和医学成像等主题的讲座和现场访问。每周将有三个下午专门用于实验室工作，参与者将在准备和展示演示方面得到帮助，并将介绍计算机在化学中的使用。此外，所有参与者都应向其同事介绍教学方法，编写图书馆报告，并参加专门讨论教学问题的研讨会。每年将从华盛顿和太平洋西北部其他州征集的申请中挑选30名教师(估计有27名高中教师和3名初中教师)。非通勤者将在该大学提供食宿，费用由助学金支付，所有人都将获得每月200美元的津贴。参加该学院的教师将获得9个四分之一学分，完成一个课程单元后将获得另外2个学分。预计将开展外联和网络活动，并将得到学年微型课程的支持。

Under this project, the department of chemistry of the University of Washington will conduct a four-week in-service institute for 30 precollege chemistry teachers from Washington and other states in the Pacific Northwest, during each of the summers of 1987, 88, and 89. Follow-up activities, aimed at establishing a lasting network for regional teachers, will include the development of curricular units and various modes of inservice teaching by institute graduates, the creation of academic year minicourses, and the continuing exchange of new institute materials. The content of the workshop, based on experience in the summer of 1986, will feature lectures on "The Interactions of Energy with Matter and a second series of lectures which will address different themes in each of the project years: "The Chemistry of Metals," "Chemistry of Non- Metals," and "Environmental Chemistry." In addition, each summer will feature a component on the Frontiers of Chemistry, including lectures and site visits on such subjects as Enviromental Chemistry, Modern Analytical Chemistry, Surface Chemistry, and Medical Imaging. Three afternoons per week will be devoted to laboratory work, participants will receive assistance in preparing and presenting demonstrations, and there will be an introduction to the use of computers in chemistry. In addition, all participants are expected to give pedagogical presentations to their colleagues, to prepare a library report, and to participate in workshop sessions devoted to issues in teaching. Thirty teachers (estimated to be 27 from high school and 3 from junior high school) will be selected each year from applications solicited from Washington and other states in the Pacific Northwest. Non-commuters will be housed and fed at the University, with expenses covered from the grant, and all will receive stipends of $200 per month. The teachers will receive nine academic quarter credits for their participation in this institute, and another two on completion of a curriculum unit. Outreach and network activities are expected, and will be supported by academic year minicourses.
