Primary Leadership Institute in Science and Mathematics (PRISM)

加州大学劳伦斯科学馆 在伯克利将是一个为期三年的小学的网站 科学与数学领导学院（PRISM） 全国K-3教师和教师教育工作者的团队。 PRISM基于以前NSF资助的计划，并将 在内容和教学两方面提供教育 战略，以及准备教师担任 专家和在职人员。 为期4周的夏季 学院提供120小时的教育增强， 每年将提供30名教师和专家（90 教师/3年）。 学年期间，学员 将收到定期通讯，小额赠款，以支持 学年领导活动，并将出席 领导会议。 该项目的一个新方面是 每个项目有20名教师教育工作者（共60名）参与 年，全国各机构。 这些教师教育者 将参加PRISM研究所一周， 在服务中，专门针对调整PRISM模型， 教师在他们的领域。 这一领导建议适合教师 因为它的目的是为了提高科学 知识和教学，发展领导技能， K-3年级教师的努力，因为它也将 为科学教育工作者提供为期一周的讲习班， 在可能的情况下与教师参与者合作;因此， 项目将产生深远的影响，不仅通过 教师的努力参与者，而且还通过前， 服务和课堂教师， 教师教育家。 非NSF费用分摊约占总额的28% 要求NSF。

The Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California at Berkeley will be the site of a three-year Primary Leadership Institute in Science and Mathematics (PRISM) for teams of K-3 teachers and teacher educators nationwide. PRISM is based on a previously NSF-funded program, and will provide education in both content and instructional strategies, as well as preparing teachers to serve as specialists and providers of inservice. A 4-week summer institute providing 120 hours of educational enhancement to 30 teachers and specialists will be offered each year (90 teachers/3 years). During the academic year, participants will receive a regular newsletter, mini-grants to support school-year leadership activities, and will attend leadership conferences. A new facet of this project is the involvement of 20 teacher educators (60 total) each project year from institutions nationwide. These teacher educators will attend the PRISM Institute for one week to receive inservice specific to adapting the PRISM model for use with teachers in their areas. This leadership proposal is appropriate for teacher enhancement because it is designed to enhance the science knowledge and teaching, and develop leadership skills and efforts of teachers of grades K-3, and because it will also provide a 1-week workshop for science educators who will be teamed with teacher participants when possible; thus the project will have far-reaching impact, not only through the efforts of teacher participants, but also through the pre- service and classroom teachers reached by participating teacher educators. Non-NSF cost-sharing is approximately 28% of the amount requested from NSF.
