The Geo-Connect Project

该项目由圣何塞州立大学资助，是一个为期五年的项目，将帮助圣何塞联合学区（SJUSD）的K-12教师教授地球科学。该项目将为128名教师提供服务，其中每所SJUSD学校至少两名教师，并培养32名教师成为地区地球科学课程的领导者。教师和行政人员将接触到地球科学示范材料的内容，该项目将与学校正在进行的地球科学项目联系起来。该计划将包括一个为期两周的夏季研讨会，随后是广泛的学年活动。将会有一个单独的领导力课程。这些教师将在SJUSD学校接受进一步的内容培训，实践同伴教学并帮助项目实施。该项目将通过学年计划和班主任的指导为其他教师提供服务。匹配基金占NSF奖金的20%。

Abstract 9731384 Metzger This project, sponsored by San Jose State University, is a five-year program which will help K-12 teachers in the San Jose Unified School District (SJUSD) to teach earth science. The project will serve 128 teachers, including at least two from each SJUSD school, and prepare 32 teachers to become District leaders in earth science curriculum. Teachers and administrators will be exposed to the content of exemplary materials in earth science and the project will connect with on-going earth science projects in the schools. The program will consist of a two week summer workshop followed by extensive academic year activities. There will be a separate Leadership program. These teachers will have further content training, practice peer teaching and help program implementation in the SJUSD schools. Additional teachers will be served by the project through the academic year program and through mentoring by the lead teachers. Matching funds constitute 20% of the NSF award.
