Secondary Science Teacher Career Ladder (SSTCL)

该项目将提高希望在城市任教的中学教师，特别是少数民族和女性候选人的数量和质量。该项目是皇后学院和纽约科学馆之间的一项合作活动，将在两年内进行。该计划的目标如下：1.通过有针对性的招聘计划增加候选人人数；2.提高专业意识，深化科学内容知识；3.增加教育视角，建立同行支持网络。将加强学员在项目中的留存，并进行辅导。专业意识和更多的内容深度将通过参与的学生参与纽约理学院的学生实习而得到加强。这些学生将在博物馆获得“付费”讲解员。

This project will increase the quantity and quality of secondary school teachers, especially minority and women candidates, who aspire to teach in the urban setting. The project represents a collaborative activity between Queens College and the New York Hall of Science and will be conducted over a two year period. The objectives of this program are as follows: 1. increase the pool of candidates through a program of targeted recruitment; 2. enhance professional awareness and deepen science content knowledge; 3. and increase educational perspectives and build peer- support networks. The retention of the participants in the program will be enhanced and mentor tutoring. Professional awareness and additional content depth will be enhanced by participant student involvement as student interns at the New York Hall of Science. The students will be "paid" explainers at the museum.
