Teacher Enhancement Through An Elementary Science Education Partners (ESEP) Program

小行星9552864 这个地方系统性变化项目将提高所有1579，从K-5年级的教师，在亚特兰大公立学校区（APS）的78所小学。 教师的在职专业发展将包括为期四天的教学课程和50小时的暑期研究所，重点是帕尔斯（实验室科学成套活动）课程材料。 这些材料改编自著名的成套教材，如自由和开放源码软件、全球环境监测系统、洞察力和儿童科学技术。 暑期学院将在格鲁吉亚州、穆尔豪斯和埃默里举行，将向300名教师开放（每个校园100名）。 教师接受的准备将使他们能够在课堂上应用引导发现教学方法来教授科学和数学。 为了支持教师，ESEP计划将： * 向所有学校提供基于帕尔斯工具包的材料 * 分配本科科学专业，训练，以帮助 使用基于探究的教学实践材料 战略，作为合作伙伴。 这些本科生 将从埃默里大学和五个 合作学院（克拉克-亚特兰大，格鲁吉亚州， 莫尔豪斯，莫里斯-布朗和斯佩尔曼 * 为每个师生伙伴关系（TSP）分配一名教师- 科学导师 * 有资源教师提供支持， 学校里的老师。 请拨经费5 699 850美元，为期5年，分摊费用估计数为7 254 837美元。

9552864 DeHaan This Local Systemic Change project will enhance all fifteen hundred and seventy nine, teachers from grades K-5, in the 78 elementary schools in the Atlanta Public School district (APS). Inservice professional development for teachers will consist of four day-long, instructional sessions and a 50 hour summer institute, focused on the PALS (Packaged Activities for Laboratory Science) curricular materials. The materials have been adapted from notable kit based curricula such as FOSS, GEMS, Insights, and Science and Technology for Children. Summer Institutes will be held at Georgia State, Moorhouse and Emory and will be open to 300 teachers (100 per campus). The preparation that teachers receive will enable them to apply guided discovery instructional methods in teaching science and mathematics in their classrooms. To support the teachers the ESEP program will: * supply the PALS kit based materials to all the schools * assign undergraduate science majors, trained to help with hands-on materials using inquiry based instructional strategies, as partners. These undergraduate students will be selected from Emory University and five collaborating colleges (Clark-Atlanta, Georgia State, Morehouse, Morris-Brown and Spelman * assign each teacher-student partnership (TSP) a faculty- science mentor * have resource teachers available to provide support to teachers in the schools. The request is for $5,699,850 for 5 years with cost sharing estimated as $7,254,837.
