Building Relationships with Industry for Delivering and Generating Educational Support (BRIDGES)

该项目是一个为期四年的计划，旨在宾夕法尼亚州韦斯特摩兰县的四个学区、当地工业和圣文森特学院之间建立合作伙伴关系，以支持这四个学区的数学和科学教育。该项目将由三部分组成：1)为拉特洛布学区(k-6年级)的90名小学教师开办为期10天的暑期学校，并为在这些学校期间开展的新的数学和科学活动的实施和评估提供学年后续支助；2)发展24个团队(每个参与学区6个)，由一名初中或高中“带头或导师”教师、一名工业科学家和一名大学科学家组成。科学家将向教师介绍他们的工作环境，并将协助他们开展适当的动手课堂活动，以改进他们的数学和科学课程：3)为18名选定的教师举办三次为期五天的研讨会，以开发和实施综合数学-在四个学区为高三学生开设科学顶峰课程。费用分摊相当于国家科学基金会奖励的120.2%。

This project is a four year program to build a partnership between four school districts in Westmoreland County, PA, local industry, and Saint Vincent College, in support of mathematics and science education in the four districts. The project will consist of three components: 1) 10 day summer academies for 90 elementary teachers from the La Trobe School District (grades k-6), with school year follow-up support for implementation and evaluation of new mathematics and science activities developed during the academies; 2) the development of 24 teams (6 per participating school district) consisting of a junior or senior high school "lead or mentor" teacher, an industrial scientist and a college scientist. The scientists will introduce the teachers to their work environments and will assist them in the development of appropriate hands-on classroom activities to improve their mathematics and science courses: and 3) three five day seminars for 18 selected teachers to develop and implement an integrated mathematics-science capstone course for high school seniors in the four school districts. Cost sharing equals 120.2% of the NSF award.
