Middle Grades Math/Science Project

这个为期四年的项目由路易斯安那理工大学赞助， 大学，提供三个学年的特殊课程 从事化学和普通科学（物理/地球）方面的工作 科学/天文学），为中年级科学和数学 教师 这些课程虽然本质上是科学， 课程，将强调数学基础， 科学内容。 这些课程将在学校举行 每年将有25名教师参加。 在 夏季，从学年计划中选出五名教师 将分别与化学或物理高中合作 教师和将学习内容，教学技巧和采取 强化培训，使他们能够从事专业工作， 在各自的学校系统开展活动。 通过 在项目的第三年，大约450名教师将 参与专业发展活动。 在 在项目的第四年，将对该方案进行监测。 和评价 大学和学校的配套资金 占NSF拨款的48%以上。

This four year project, sponsored by Louisiana Tech University, provides three academic years of special courses work in chemistry and general science (physics/earth science/astronomy) for middle grades science and mathematics teachers. The courses, while being essentially science courses, will emphasis the mathematics undergirding the science content. These courses will be held at the school site and will be attended by 25 teachers each year. In the summer, five selected teachers from the academic year program will each be teamed with a chemistry or physics high school teacher and will learn content, teaching techniques and take intensive training to prepare them to carry out professional development activities in their respective school systems. By the third year of the project, approximately 450 teachers will have been involved in professional development activities. In the fourth year of the project the program will be monitored and evaluated. The matching funds from the university and the schools constitute a match of above 48% of the NSF grant.
