A Teacher Training Program in Biology: The Science, Techniques and Ethics of Molecular Biology

该计划旨在为72名在职高中生物教师提供关于分子生物学和生物技术最新发现的强化培训。该计划将在加利福尼亚州北部的旧金山州立大学、加州大学圣克鲁斯分校和加州州立大学萨克拉门托分校的三个地点提供培训。教师将参加一个为期两周的密集研讨会，使用在冷泉港开发的材料，以及一个为期三天的科学和社会研讨会，在研讨会上将讨论新生物技术产生的问题，以期纳入高中生物课。准备不足的教师将在旧金山州立大学的研讨会前额外花费四天时间，以使他们能够跟上在生物学方面有更深背景的同事的步伐。将制定课程指南，以促进将这些材料整合到参与者学校的课程中。一个良好的后续计划将为他们提供实施这一计划的资源。

This program is designed to provide enhancement training for seventy-two inservice high school biology teachers in recent discoveries in molecular biology and biotechnology. This program will provide training at three sites in northern California, San Francisco State University, University of California, Santa Cruz and California State University, Sacramento. Teachers will be involved in a two-week intensive workshop, using materials developed at Cold Spring Harbor, plus a three day science and society symposium in which issues arising from the new biotechnology will be discussed with a view toward inclusion into a high school biology class. Less well prepared teachers will spend four additional days in a preworkshop at San Francisco State to enable them to keep pace with their colleagues who have a deeper background in biology. Curriculm guides will be devloped to facilitate in the integration of this material into the curriculum in participants, schools. A good follow-up schedule will provide them with the resources to implement this program.
