Teaching Science With Toys: Cultivating Advancements in Physical Science (TOYS: CAPS)

小行星9355523 这个项目将建立在用玩具教科学的基础上。 通过玩具，全国超过475名K-12教师使用近100项活动将玩具科学带入课堂。 玩具：帽子将1. 积极培育区级系统实施以玩具为主的体育科学教育。 将有180名参与者在4个夏天。 由2-3名教师和一名管理人员组成的团队将参加为期3周的夏季研讨会，其中包括在夏令营中直接与学生合作。 学年后续活动将包括秋季和春季会议，无论是在迈阿密大学主办网站或区域大学附属网站，参与者将报告活动，分享会议和交流思想。 在服务研讨会将举行与技术支持正在提供的玩具工作人员和/或大学附属机构。 2. 在三年期间，每年18名玩具毕业生将接受广泛的“培训”，以提高他们的教学内容知识和发展领导技能，成为地区领导人。 该计划将与教师/管理员计划（TAP）重叠，在该计划中，36名准备不足的教师（K-9年级）和管理员将参加由玩具领导人和教师运行的计划。 3. 大学附属机构（每年夏季两名学院或大学科学或教职员工）将参与复制该计划，在美国各地创建玩具中心，并在当地学校开展基于玩具的活动。 大学附属机构还在其职前科学教育课程中包括玩具活动。 4. 通过教师/研究人员计划，每年12名同行作家将与玩具教师合作，研究，开发和测试活动和教师资源模块。 在玩具：CAPS 378名教师代表66个地区团队和6个大学附属机构将直接参与超过41个月的项目。 估计将通过在职和其他外展活动再培训3 000名教师。 应该指出，学年方案将侧重于通勤距离内的区域团队，夏季方案将针对全国观众。

9355523 Sarquis This project will build upon Teaching Science with TOYS. Through TOYS over 475 K-12 teachers nationwide have brought toy based science into their classrooms using nearly 100 activities. TOYS: CAPS will 1. Actively cultivate district level systemic implementation of toy based physical science education. There will be 180 participants over 4 summers. Teams of 2-3 teachers and one administrator will participate in a 3-week summer workshop which includes working directly with students in a summer camp. Academic year follow up will include fall and spring sessions either at the Miami University host site or a regional University Affiliate site where participants will report on activities share sessions and exchange ideas. In service workshops will be held with the tecnical support being provided by TOYS staff and/or University Affiliates. 2. Over a three year period 18 TOYS graduates per year will undergo extensive 'training' to enhance their pedagogical content knowledge and develop leadership skills to become district Leaders. This program will overlap with the Teacher/Administrator Program (TAP) in which teams of 36 under prepared teachers (grades K-9) and administrators will attend programs run by the TOYS leaders and faculty. 3. University Affiliates (two college or university science or faculty members per summer) will participate to replicate the program regionally to create TOYS centers throughout the US and to implement hands on TOY based activities in local schools. University Affiliates also include toy-based activities in their pre-service science education courses. 4. Through the Teacher/Researcher Program 12 peer writers per year will work with TOYS faculty to research, develop and test activiites and teacher resource modules. In TOYS: CAPS 378 teachers representing 66 district teams and six university affiliates will directly participate over the 41 months of the project. An estimated 3,000 additional teachers will be r eached through in-service and other outreach activities. It is to be noted that academic year programming will focus on regional teams within commuting distance and summer programming will target a national audience.
