Dissemination through Wisconsin Fast Plants Master Leader Workshop

这是一个为期三年的项目， 有效的生物学教师增强计划，威斯康星州 快速植物，小学和中学教师， 全国范围 四种不同的传播模式将涉及 在大学举办教师讲习班， 学院、当地学区和其他机构， 比如博物馆。 这些地点的研讨会负责人将 包括科学家、名师、科学教育工作者， 博物馆和其他机构，以及威斯康星州快速植物 工作人员 非工作人员讲习班领导人已经或将 由威斯康星州的快速植物工作人员培训。 本计画的目标是：1）提升教师的科学素养 态度和技能; 2）培训教师成长和使用快速 植物探究式教学; 3）带来快速植物 为服务不足的学生提供更好的科学指导; 4） 鼓励教育工作者建立社区伙伴关系， 科学家和机构; 5）扩大快速工厂 网络;以及6）继续支持所有以前的快速工厂 用户. 据估计，3,000名教师将通过126个 由威斯康星州快速植物计划支持的研讨会。 这项创新预计将传播到另外6000- 9000名教师参加了该项目。 成本分摊相当于NSF奖励的21.2%。

This is a three year project to disseminate the use of an effective teacher enhancement program in biology, Wisconsin Fast Plants, to elementary and middle school teachers, nationwide. Four different dissemination models will involve the presentation of teacher workshops at universities and colleges, local schools districts, and other institutions, such as museums. Workshop leaders at these sites will include scientists, master teachers, science educators from museums and other institutions, and Wisconsin Fast Plants staff. Non-staff workshop leaders have been, or will be, trained by the Wisconsin Fast Plants staff. The goals of the project are to 1) enhance teachers' science attitudes and skills; 2) train teachers to grow and use Fast Plants for inquiry-based instruction; 3) bring Fast Plants and better science instruction to underserved students; 4) encourage community partnerships among educators, scientists, and institutions; 5) expand the Fast Plants Network; and 6) continue to support all previous Fast Plant users. An estimated 3,000 teachers will receive training via 126 workshops supported by the Wisconsin Fast Plants Program. The innovation is expected to spread to an additional 6000- 9000 teachers as a result of the project. Cost sharing equals 21.2% of the NSF award.
