Teachers Empowering Teachers: Computers in Geometry Classrooms

圣奥拉夫学院的这个项目是一个为期两年的项目，旨在通过授权教师将现代计算技术融入到他们的教学中来改善中学几何的课堂教学。该计划将从圣奥拉夫60英里以内的学校培养一支名为教师行动小组(TAG)的几何大师教师队伍。在第一年，TAG成员将参加研讨会，以提高他们的主题、教学、计算机和领导技能。在第二年，TAG成员和项目工作人员将举办类似的讲习班，以扩大为实施和外联做准备的小组的规模。更大一组的教师将来自圣奥拉夫200英里以内的学校。总共有一百名教师将参与这个项目。圣奥拉夫学院数学系在全国数学教育界享有极高的声誉和领导地位。圣奥拉夫学院和参与学区的捐款相当于国家科学基金会申请的37%。

This project of St. Olaf College is a two-year program to improve classroom teaching of geometry in secondary schools by empowering teachers to integrate modern computing technology into their instruction. The program will develop a cadre of master geometry teachers called the Teacher Action Group (TAG), from schools within sixty miles of St. Olaf. During the first year, the TAG members will attend workshops to enhance their subject matter, pedagogy, computer, and leadership skills. During the second year, the TAG members and the project staff will offer similar workshops to increase the size of the group prepared for implementation and outreach. Teachers in the larger group will come from schools located within 200 miles of St. Olaf. In all, one hundred teachers will participate in the project. The Mathematics Department at St. Olaf College enjoys an excellent national reputation and position of leadership in the general mathematics education community. St. Olaf College and the participating districts are contributing an amount equal to 37% of the National Science Foundation request.
