Urban PTRA (Physics Teaching Resource Agent)

9619041纳尔逊这个由美国物理教师协会赞助的为期五年的项目将实施一项广泛的教师培训计划，主要服务于美国城市地区的物理教师。该项目将基于成功的物理教学资源代理(PTRA)模型。教师将从全国各地的城市学校中挑选出来，参加为期五年的每年夏天为期一周的强化项目。在该计划中，项目工作人员将向教师传授物理内容和创新的教学策略。讲习班将在AAPT夏季会议之前举行，这些教师也将参加该会议。在该项目的每个学年，这些教师将与所在地区教授物理或物理科学的同事一起开展在职计划，以便在暑期计划中获得的知识将在整个城市地区传播。这项在职活动将得到项目工作人员和来自其地理区域的PTRA带头教师的支持。这项计划将为575名教师提供服务。配套基金占NSF奖金的7%。

9619041 Nelson This five-year project, sponsored by the American Association of Physics Teachers, will carry out an extensive teacher enhancement program serving primarily teachers of physics in the nation's urban areas. The project will be based upon the successful Physics Teaching Resource Agent (PTRA) model. Teachers will be selected from urban schools throughout the country to participate in an intensive one-week program each summer for five years. In the program, project staff will teach teachers physics content and innovative teaching strategies. The workshops will take place just before the AAPT summer meetings which these teachers will also attend. In each of the academic years of the project, these teachers will carry out in-service programs with colleagues in their districts who teach physics or physical science so that the knowledge gained in the summer program will be disseminated throughout the urban area. This in-service activity will be supported by project staff and lead PTRA teachers from their geographic area. Altogether, 575 teachers will be served by the project. Matching funds constitute 7% of the NSF award.
