Science Collaborative Project

科学合作项目是一个针对纽约市少数民族学区（4、5、6、9和10区）60名缺乏准备的初中科学教师的三个项目。这些教师将在CCNY学习物理、化学、地球科学和生命科学四门特别设计的课程（暑期和学年）。这些课程旨在提高教师对这四个领域的基本概念的理解，并扩展他们在以少数民族为主的初中教授物理和生命科学材料的教学技能。此外，该项目的一个主要目的是提高少数民族学生的科学技能和态度。这五个区大约45%的科学教师将参加。他们将从CCNY获得18个研究生学分。此外，通过与布朗克斯科学高中经验丰富的初中和高中科学教师的合作，参与者将有机会在夏季课程中进行广泛的实践教学。参与者被期望达到一定的能力水平，使他们中的许多人能够帮助他们所在地区的其他科学教师。

Science Collaborative Project is a three project for 60 underprepared junior high school science teachers from minority school districts in New York City (Districts 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10). These teachers will take a specially designed sequence of four courses (summer session and academic year) at CCNY in physics, chemistry, earth sciences, and life sciences. These courses are designed to both improve the teachers' understanding of basic concepts in these four areas, and to extend their pedagogical skills in teaching physical and life science material in largely minority junior high schools. In addition, a major aim of the project is to improve the science skills and attitudes of minority students. Approximately 45% of the science teachers in these five districts will participate. They will receive 18 graduate credits from CCNY for the course work. In addition, through collaboration with experienced junior and senior high school science teachers at Bronx High School of Science, participants will have the opportunity for extensive practice teaching during summer sessions. Participants are expected to attain a level of competency that would permit many of them to help other science teachers in their districts.
