AGI Internship Program for Outstanding Secondary School Science Teachers

该实习项目将继续为高中科学教师提供机会，让他们熟悉美国大学和研究机构的地球科学家正在进行的前沿基础研究；了解正在用于或在某些情况下正在推动此类研究的新技术；通过与国家科学基金会海洋科学项目和学术研究实验室或设施（视情况而定）的暑期或学期工作，获得基础地球科学研究的规划和管理经验。这项工作将涉及1987年春季、夏季和秋季各两名实习生，他们将被分配到海洋科学司内的适当项目。他们将按照工作计划大纲的要求完成分配给他们的项目。实习生将由AGI选择，如提案中所述，并在AGI和NSF官员之间的讨论中进一步扩大。参与该实习项目的教师所获得的经验将使他们能够更新和提高高中科学课程的质量和范围，使许多学生能够进入美国大学的科学课程。

This internship program will continue to provide opportunities for high school science teachers to become familiar with the cutting-edge basic research being undertaken by earth scientists at U.S. universities and research institutions; to learn about the new technology that is being used in and, in some cases, is driving such research; to gain experience in the planning and management of basic earth sciences research through either a summer or academic semester of work with the National Science Foundation ocean sciences programs and at academic research laboratories or facilities, as appropriate. This effort will involve two interns each for the spring, summer, and fall of l987 who will be assigned to appropriate programs within the Ocean Sciences Division. They will work with the programs to which they are assigned, consistent with the WORK PLAN outline. The interns will be selected by the AGI, as outlined in the proposal and amplified in discussions between AGI and NSF officials. The experience gained by the teachers who participate in this internship program should enable them in turn to update and to improve the quality and scope of high school science programs reaching many students who will in turn enter U.S. university science programs.
