RET-EEE- Recognize Exemplary Teachers - Expand, Enlist and Extend

该计划将通过模范教师和大学及工业科学家、工程师、数学家的共同努力，加强初中和高中的科学和数学教学。将选出20名模范教师，表彰并参与正在进行的材料开发和教师提升计划。其中10名教师的知识将通过在当地行业的暑期工作项目得到拓展。工业界和大学的科学家/工程师将与教师组成三位一体，根据工业经验设计和开发课堂材料和活动。将这些材料用于大学教师培训课程和其他当地执业教师的在职培训，将扩大该计划的影响。最终目标是让学生更好地为工作世界做好准备，无论他们是选择立即进入这个世界，还是等到完成一些进一步的中学后教育。合作伙伴分担的费用将占国家科学基金资金的67%。

This program will strengthen middle and high school science and mathematics teaching by joint efforts of exemplary teachers and college and industry scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. Twenty exemplary teachers will be selected for recognition and involvement in an ongoing program of materials development and teacher enhancement. The knowledge of ten of these teachers will be expanded through a summer work program in local industries. Industry and university scientists/engineers will be enlisted to form triads with the teachers to design and develop classroom materials and activities based on the industrial experience. Use of these materials in college teacher preparation courses and for inservice training of other local practicing teachers will extend the impact of the program. The ultimate objective will be to better prepare students for the world of work, whether they chose to enter that world immediately or wait until completion of some further post-secondary education. Cost sharing by the partners will total 67% of the NSF funding.
