Teacher Enhancement in Molecular Biology and Recombinant DNA Technology

9618727 Bhattacharjee The PI将亲自招募90名教师中的50%以上参加位于俄亥俄州迈阿密大学的生物技术项目。该计划将从1997年持续到1999年，每名教师的费用约为7500美元。国际和平协会将特别关注从市中心招聘教师团队的问题。然而，也将从私立、郊区和农村学校招聘教师。后续会议的形式使教师参与者能够邀请现场同事参加。希望同事参加后续会议将鼓励在随后的夏季讲习班中注册，并为目前注册的参与者提供现场支持。至少两次后续会议将使教师能够建立网络，参与提案撰写，分享想法/用品，并提供机会确定和评估各种资源和导师。PI将保持与参与者的联系渠道，并根据要求协助他们在课堂上实施。

9618727 Bhattacharjee The PI will personally recruit more than 50% of a group of 90 teachers to participate in the Biotechnology Program, Miami University, Miami, OH. The program will run from 1997 through 1999 at a cost of approximately $7500 per teacher. The PI will give special attention to the recruitment of teacher- teams from inner city sites. However, teacher recruitment from private, suburban and rural schools will occur, as well. The format of follow-up sessions enables teacher-participants to invite site colleagues to attend. The hope is that colleague attendance at follow-up sessions will encourage registration in subsequent summer workshops, and generate site-support for currently registered participants. At least two follow-up sessions will enable teachers to network, engage in proposal writing, share ideas/supplies, and provide opportunities for identifying and assessing various resources and mentors. The PI will maintain avenues of contact with participants and assist them with classroom implementation upon request.
