Summer Institutes for Teacher-Leaders in Global Systems Science

为了解决教育领域的环境问题，位于加州伯克利的劳伦斯科学馆将开展一个为期三年的项目，包括五个暑期学院。这些学院将为125名教师领导提供服务，他们将把全球系统科学课程纳入所在地区现有的高中课程中。此外，这些教师领导将协助他们在全国各地的同事的教育。该项目开始时将邀请25名教师在1992年夏季试用全球系统科学材料。这些参与者将帮助制定教学材料，其中一些人将在随后的暑期学院担任工作人员。在1993年和1994年期间，共有四个额外的研究所将持续三个星期，容纳25名教师领导。全球系统科学课程材料将构成核心课程。所有五个研究所的参与者都将参观实验室，并“第一手”了解研究全球气候变化、能源效率、臭氧消耗和其他主题的专业人员的工作。这些参与者也将接受如何评估学习的指导，以及如何成为他们地区的领导者。

To address environmental problems in the educational sphere, the Lawrence Hall of Science located in Berkeley, California will be conducting a three-year project consisting of five summer institutes. The institutes will serve a total of 125 teacher-leaders who will incorporate a course in Global Systems Science into existing high school programs in their regions. Further, these teacher-leaders will assist in the education of their colleagues across the nation. The project will begin by inviting 25 teachers to pilot test the Global Systems Science materials during the summer of 1992. These participants will help shape the instructional materials and several of them will return as staff members during the subsequent summer institutes. During 1993 and 1994, a total of four additional institutes will last three weeks and accommodate 25 teacher-leaders. The Global Systems Science course materials will form the core curriculum. Participants in all five institutes will visit laboratories and learn "first hand" about the work of professionals who investigate such topics as global climate change, energy efficiency, ozone depletion, and other topics. These participants will also receive instruction in how to assess learning, and how to become a leader in their district.
