Mechanisms of Adsorption of Organic Contaminants by Activated Carbon in the Presence of Organic Macromolecules

9450022 Scantlebury本项目将研究将性别平等培训纳入中学科学教育计划对职前教师和在职教师合作教学实践的影响。这两个小组都将参加以科学中的性别平等为中心主题的夏季讲习班、课程、研讨会和会议。主要内容包括：为职前教师和在职教师提供性别平等培训；为双方提供专业发展机会；利用在职合作教师讲授职前方法课程考察这种参与对合作教师的性别敏感课堂实践的影响；合作教师和大学教师对职前教师的指导；建立大学理科教师之间的对话。职前教师需要在公平教学策略方面的专门培训，并需要对性别平等问题敏感的高中科学（“合作”）教师的监督。该项目的目的是鼓励职前教师和合作教师通过以下方式培养对性别问题敏感的科学教师的特点：改变职前教师目前的课程；直接与合作教师合作；包括为职前教师提供科研机会；将教育和科学研究转移到课堂；将项目与其他正在进行的州和地方努力联系起来；提供艺术、科学和教育学院与当地学校系统之间的整合；并在全国会议上展示研究成果。＊＊＊

9450022 Scantlebury This project will study the impact that incorporating gender equity training into the secondary science education program has on the teaching practices of preservice and cooperating inservice teachers. Both groups will participate in summer workshops, coursework, seminars, and meetings which will have gender equity in the sciences as a central theme. Key components include: providing gender equity training for preservice and cooperating inservice teachers; providing professional development for both groups; utilizing inservice cooperating teachers in teaching preservice methods courses; examining the effect this involvement has on the cooperating teachers' gender-sensitive classroom practices; mentoring of preservice teachers by cooperating teachers and university faculty; establishing dialogues between university science faculty and teachers. Preservice teachers need specific training in equitable teaching strategies and supervision by high school science ("cooperating") teachers who are sensitive to gender equity issues. The project is aimed at encouraging preservice and cooperating teachers to develop the characteristics of gender-sensitive science teachers through: changing current coursework for preservice teachers; working directly with cooperating teachers; including scientific research opportunities for preservice teachers; transfer of educational and scientific research to the classroom; linking programs to other ongoing state and local efforts; providing integration between the Colleges of Arts & Sciences and Education, and local school systems; and presenting research at national meetings. ***
