Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Summer Institute for High School Teachers

全国科学教师协会与 国家卓越教育中心将开展一项 高中物理和计算机科学暑期学院 教师为32名物理教师的天才学生在龙 岛大学在两个星期在1987年夏天和另外48 1988年的三个星期。 在每个研究所， 教师将学习物理和计算机方面的高级概念 特别强调解决问题和探索的科学 替代教学策略，他们将获得两个研究生 Long Island University长岛大学他们将正式互动， 非正式地与八位杰出的科学家，包括两位诺贝尔奖得主， 他们将参观这个项目并在晚上做讲座。教师将 观察并参与NCEE数学，科学和计算机科学 为120名有学术天赋的高中生提供计划，并协助 设计和举办数学和科学奥林匹克， 程序. 在该研究所之后，参与者将扩大或成立科学俱乐部 并在他们的学校或地区组织物理竞赛， 国家教育考试技术援助。 此外，他们将被给予释放时间， 为同事举办工作坊，分享信息和教学 使用讲座录像带，从研究所学习方法。 NSTA 将编写和分发一本以该研究所为基础的专著 经验，以协助其他教师在建立和运行数学 俱乐部和比赛。 该项目的一个目标是建立一个模型， 高中教师的职业形象，认识到他们是 对等组的合法成员，包括杰出的 科学家们，承认高水平之间的重要关系 教师在教育科研中的专业地位 他或她的工作满意度。 通过与 领先的研究科学家，研究所参与者将扩大他们的 科学知识和他们的教学技能范围，并能够 与学生和同事分享这一经验的好处。

The National Science Teachers Association in cooperation with the National Center for Excellence in Education will conduct a Physics and Computer Science Summer Institute for High School Teachers for 32 physics teachers of gifted students at Long Island University during two weeks in the summer of 1987 and another 48 teachers during three weeks in 1988. At each institute, conducted by NCEE, teachers will study advanced concepts in physics and computer science with special emphasis on solving problems and explore alternative teaching strategies for which they will receive two graduate credits from Long Island University. They will interact formally and informally with eight eminent scientists, including two Nobel laureates, who will visit the project and give evening lectures. Teachers will observe and participate in the NCEE math, science, and computer science program for 120 academically talented high school students and assist in designing and running the mathematics and science olympiads in that program. Following the institute, participants will expand or start science clubs and organize physics competitions in their schools or districts with the technical assistance of NCEE. Also, they will be given release time to conduct workshops for their colleagues to share information and teaching methodologies from the institute using videotapes of the lectures. NSTA will prepare and disseminate a monograph based on the institute experiences to assist other teachers in setting up and running math clubs and competitions. One goal of this project is to establish a model that improves the professional image of high school teachers by recognizing them as legitimate members of a peer group that includes distinguished scientists, acknowledging the important relationship between a high school teacher's professional status within the educational and research community and his or her own job satisfaction. By interacting with leading research scientists, institute participants will expand their knowledge of science and their range of teaching skills and be able to share the benefits of this experience with students and colleagues.
