An In-Service Summer Workshop in Natural Science for Middle/High School Science Teachers Including Research Experience in the Grand Canyon

Stanley S.博士北方亚利桑那大学（NAU） 为26名科学教师直接举办为期6周的在职讲习班 （6-12年级）。 讲习班将于1990年夏季开始 并持续三个夏天。 每年夏季6名学员 被认定为硕士教师，可以获得七个研究生 学分和20个“研究助理”可以获得六个研究生 学分. 参与的教师将来自亚利桑那州和 西南其他州。 研讨会分为三个为期两周的阶段。 密集的第一阶段 强调生物学和地质学的内容与课堂， 实验室和现场经验。 第二阶段为12天 户外实地研究营地在大峡谷与重点 关于生物和地质方面以及 峡谷和河流（STS方面）。 在第三阶段， NAU，参与者由研究科学家指导，将准备 他们在第二阶段的研究结果，并由大师指导 将根据以前的教材编写教材， 经验 其目的是，教材将 将工作坊的经验转化为户外活动， 家庭地区的资源;无论是峡谷环境还是 一个平坦的沙漠环境来进行地球科学教学。 后续活动包括一份科学活动手册， 所有参与者的贡献，大峡谷幻灯片 《信息和通信技术组》，双月通讯， 通过CISCO-NET进行通信， 弗拉格斯塔夫。 最后，硕士教师将进行两个或更多 在他们的家乡学区为他们的同龄人举办讲习班。 研究助理教师将参加一个或多个 这些车间。 这个精心制作的项目使用了各种 教/学技术，加强和支持 准备充分和准备不足的科学老师。 它 使用令人兴奋的国家资源，但定制课堂 活动材料，利用当地的户外资源。 它 建立在NAU，当地学校 地区，国家公园服务， 填海工程、北方亚利桑那博物馆和私人 行业 NSF的支持将使来自原住民的教师 美国定居点参与。 这种专注， 合作和资源管理的研究，这 “国宝”赋予项目强大的科学性， 技术和社会组成部分和重要少数群体 冲击 费用分摊额为182，368美元，占总费用的50%。 NSF奖。

Dr. Stanley S. Beus of Northern Arizona University (NAU) will direct 6-week in-service workshops for 26 science teachers (grades 6-12). Workshops will begin in the summer of 1990 and continue for 3-summers. Each summer 6 participants identified as Master Teachers, may earn seven-graduate credits and 20 as "Research Assistants" may earn six-graduate credits. Participating teachers will come from Arizona and other southwestern states. The workshops have 3 two-week phases. An intensive Phase I emphasizes content in biology and geology with classroom, laboratory and field experiences. Phase II is a 12-day outdoor field-research camp in the Grand Canyon with a focus on biological and geological aspects as well as uses of the canyon and river (STS aspects). During Phase III, back at NAU, participants guided by research scientists, will prepare their findings from Phase II and guided by master teachers will develop teaching materials based on the previous experiences. It is intended that the teaching materials will translate the workshop experiences into using the outdoor resources of the home district; be it a canyon environment or a flat desert environment for earth-science instruction. Follow-up activities include a science activity manual with contributions from all participants, a Grand Canyon slide set, a bi-monthly newsletter, ongoing electronic communications via CISCO-NET and a two-day workshop in Flagstaff. Finally, Master Teachers will conduct two or more workshops in their home school districts for their peers. The Research Assistant teachers will attend one or more of these workshops. This carefully crafted project uses a variety of teaching/learning techniques, reinforcement and support for both the well-prepared and underprepared science teacher. It uses an exciting national resource yet customizes classroom activity material to make use of local outdoor resources. It builds upon exemplary cooperation between NAU, local school districts, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, the Museum of Northern Arizona, and private industry. NSF support will enable teachers from Native American settlements to participate. This focus, the cooperation and a study of resource management of this "national treasure" give the project a strong science, technology and society component and significant minority impact. There is cost sharing in an amount of $182,368 which is 50% of the NSF award.
