A Technical Industry, Community College, and Secondary School Partnership to Enhance Science Curriculum and Equipment Updating

这个为期三年的项目将通过建立合作伙伴关系，为高中教师提供最新的化学、物理、生物和数学方面的内容和实验室发展，这将使高中教师、大学教职员工和行业科学家、工程师和数学家建立牢固的工作关系。提供更新的机制是通过在每个学科领域举办为期两天的密集研讨会，并在Inver Hills教职员工、行业科学家和高中教师之间开展后续活动，以确保在高中课堂上有效应用，并在学院提供专业课程。更新将由技术行业伙伴关系、区域规划和服务机构、社区学院和当地学区来规划、提交和评估。已收到承诺，将在整个明尼苏达州的社区大学和国家一级促进这一示范伙伴关系的传播和应用。由合作伙伴分担的费用将占国家科学基金资助总额的%。

This three year project will provide updating for high school teachers on recent content and laboratory developments in chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics through establishment of a partnership which will bring high school teachers, college faculty, and industry scientists, engineers, and mathematicians into a strong working relationship. The mechanism for providing the update is through intensive two-day workshops in each discipline area with follow-up activities between Inver Hills faculty, industry scientists and high school teachers to insure effective application in the high school classroom and to offer specialized classes at the college. Updates will be planned, presented, and evaluated by the partnership of technical industry, a regional planning and service agency, a community college, and local school districts. Commitments have been received to foster dissemination and application of this model partnership in community colleges throughout Minnesota and at the national level. Cost sharing by the partners will total 64% of the National Science Foundation funding.
