TTOPS: Texas Regional Enhancement Program for Underprepared Physical Science Teachers

小行星9616840 这个为期五年的项目，由得克萨斯州A M的工程实验站赞助，将开展一项教师增强计划的物理科学教师，主要是在9年级。 该项目由三个部分组成。 其中一个组成部分是选择和提供24物理科学教师一系列为期两周的暑期讲习班，为期四年。 在夏季研讨会上，教师将学习最新的教学策略，适合该年级的物理和化学内容。 第二个组成部分是在得克萨斯州科学教师协会和AAPT得克萨斯州分会的年度会议上与这些带头教师举办后续讲习班。 第三个组成部分是支持该方案的主要教师举办讲习班，在该项目的整个生命周期内，将有260名7-9年级的教师参加100多个小时的内容/教学法教学。 二级教师的计划将得到项目工作人员的支持，并定期进行评估，以保持高质量并确定影响。 该奖项与当地资金相匹配，相当于NSF奖项的40%左右。

9616840 Clark This five-year project, sponsored by Texas A&M's Engineering Experiment Station, will carry out a program of teacher enhancement for physical science teachers, primarily in grade 9. The project consists of three components. One component is to select and provide 24 physical science teachers a series of two week summer workshops over a four-year period. In the summer workshop the teachers will learn up-to-date strategies for teaching physics and chemistry content appropriate at that grade level. The second component is to carry out follow-up workshops with these lead teachers at the annual meetings of the Science Teachers' Association of Texas and the Texas section of the AAPT. The third component is to support the lead teachers in the program to carry out workshops which, over the life of the project, will involve 260 additional teachers in grades 7-9 with over 100 hours of content/pedagogy instruction. The program with the second tier teachers will be supported by project staff and periodically evaluated in order to maintain high quality and determine impact. The award is being matched with local funds in an amount equivalent to about 40% of the NSF award.
