Teacher Enhancement in Molecular Biology and Recombinant DNA Technology

这项为期三年的计划将培训60名高中生物教师(3组，每组20人/年)，内容涉及分子生物学、基因克隆和重组DNA技术。这将通过在迈阿密大学牛津校区举办的两周暑期班来实现，包括内容和教学方法，重点是实践方法。课程顾问和之前的试点计划参与者将与参与者合作，以促进在参与者的教室中适当地实施内容和实验室程序。P.I.还将通过学年支持服务，并为参与者与附近的俄亥俄州大学和生物技术行业建立联系，为参与者在课堂上实施实验提供便利。费用分摊相当于NSF奖励的78.5%。

This three year program will train 60 high school biology teachers (3 groups of 20/year) in Molecular Biology, Gene Cloning, and Recombinant DNA Technology. This will be accomplished by two week summer institutes, held at Miami University, Oxford Campus, that include both content and pedagogy, with emphasis on a hands-on approach. A curriculum consultant and a previous pilot program participant will work with the participants to facilitate appropriate implementation of content and laboratory procedures in the participant's classrooms. The P.I. will also facilitate the implementation of experiments into the participants' classrooms via academic year support services and by establishing contacts for participants with other nearby Ohio universities and biotechnology industries. Cost sharing equals 78.5 % of the NSF award.
