Partial Support for the Department of Energy National Teacher Enhancement Project

9253358鲍文国家教师增强项目(NTEP)是能源部国家实验室为改善K-8年级的科学教育而进行的一项为期五年的合作努力。该项目旨在培养带头教师干部，他们将成为同事的榜样和导师，并将在系统性改革倡议中担任地区领导人。目前的努力将包括几个额外的实验室。这些实验室将通过加强其日益增长的集体努力，并通过教育部国家网络向区域教师提供获取资源的途径，优化其对科学和数学教育的影响。在该项目期间，240多名教师将在实验室接受直接培训，他们每人将为学校的其他教师开展在职计划，这将影响到全国的大量教师。这项建议适合于教师培训，因为它是一个领导项目，将把小学教师带入科学界，在教师和国家实验室之间提供广泛的网络，并通过其真正的协作设计，利用参与实验室之间的有效协同作用。这也与FCCSET和其他国家协调、促进和加强改善科学教育的努力是一致的。非NSF费用分摊大约是NSF要求的金额的120%。***

9253358 Bowen The National Teacher Enhancement Project (NTEP) is a collaborative five-year effort of the Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories to improve science education in grades K-8. The project is designed to create cadres of lead teachers who will serve as role models and mentors for their colleagues and who will be district leaders in systemic reform initiatives. Several additional laboratories will be included in the current effort. The laboratories will optimize their impact on science and mathematics education by strengthening their growing collective efforts and by providing regional teachers with access to resources through the DOE national network. During this project over 240 teachers will receive direct training at the laboratories, and each of them will conduct inservice programs for other teachers in their schools, this impacting a large number of teachers nationally. This proposal is appropriate for teacher enhancement because it is a leadership project which will bring elementary teachers into the science community, provide extensive networking among teachers and the National Laboratories, and leverage effective synergy among the participating Laboratories through its truly collaborative design. It is also consistent with FCCSET and other national efforts to coordinate, facilitate, and strengthen efforts to improve science education. Non-NSF cost-sharing is approximately 120% of the amount requested from NSF. ***
